What you think? turning this pre built to a Gaming rig

[tkim113]

This is the pre built computer that i am thinking of changing to a gaming rig Gateway Official Site: Shop - Desktops - DX4640-UB101A Product Details

i am thinking of installing this graphics card to it VisionTek - ATI RADEON HD4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card - 900241

and i am guessing i gotta change out the PSU on it (according to the specs, the original build only goes up to 300 watts)

What do you guys think? good idea or bad idea?

It will be alright depends what you will games you will be playing and what settings that processor is kinda old though.

Nah not worth it, you can make a much better pc for $700....

f you could psosibly change the cpu to an e2*** series it would be much better.

Trying to turn a prebuilt into a gaming pc isn't worth it. You will end up replacing the video card, psu and probably the case before you are through but will still be stuck with a cheap motherboard, cheap ram, and no overclocking.
