    You really should build a PC yourself. If you need help deciding on parts there's a few people here that can help you. Putting the parts together isn't as hard as you think

    I would, like the others, recommend buying your own. If you want a gaming PC, a desktop PC is a poor choice. Kundvagn - Oscars dator - Inet.se This PC i build for my brother and its "only" 713,89 EUR. So you can upgrade some components, like the graphics card and the motherboard. Good luck!

    So, my question is:

    Will it be able to run games such as CoD MW3, LoL, BF3 etc fine? I don't need to max out the settings, as long as it doesn't look like sh*t.

    Also, will it be able to record with fraps and play at the same time (Lower settings than normal playing doesn't matter). Can it render videos in Sony Vegas Pro?

    Because that's what I am looking for. You can actually replace the graphics card so when it gets outdated I could do that.

    Please help me

    Save your money, get a real pc from Maingear.com

    Even their lower end models put Alienware to shame... American made, Booyah.

    Buy parts or a computer from there.
    I recommend you build your computer as it is cheaper, and you can customize to exactly your liking. There are a bunch of tutorials online to build a computer. Make sure you get at least a amd radeon 6870 or gtx 550 ti graphics card and get a quad core processor as well. Also, make sure everything is compatible and everything stays cool
