I need a gaming computer, Fast.

[Stewie]

Hey could anyone help me out? I am looking for a gaming PC that can run SWTOR, Diablo 3, Skyrim, Ect decently (mid-high) for around 500-650$. I have looked around on Newegg and iBuypower but I haven't found anything good yet. If anyone could link me either parts or a pre-built gaming PC it would help me alot. Thanks, Stewie.

good luck on that lol... if you want a good PC for gaming, you might be needing to spend around $800 - $1000 minimum

Skyrim and Diablo 3 doesn't take a beast computer to run it on. You could definitely get one for around $650.

You just have to buy the additional parts, like a Grfx Card.

Could you possibly link me a computer for around there?

First I have to point out, with that budget is it not going to be possible to reach med-high on games such as SWTOR, D3, and Skyrim. You'll be lucky to get low to mid. However, that does not mean you are screwed over. I did some quick newegg browsing and I came up with this.

It's not that great of a computer for gaming, but it's the best you are going to get for your budget. My suggestion is to get this PC and start saving up for a new GPU asap. That 6450 is a decent card, but it does not have a lot of power. You can save up $120 - $150 and purchase a nVidia 4xx series or 5xx series which would hold you for a decent while (I personally am running a 460GT).

Now my other suggestion would be to build the computer yourself. Spending a good penny on your case, motherboard, and CPU can keep you going for 4 to 5 years before needing to upgrade. After that, you can easily upgrade your GPU and/or RAM as much as you want. This is actually what I do. I have been running my Intel Q6600 Quad for 3 years now and planning to upgrade to the Intel 2600K this summer.

Honestly, investing in a computer can be more cost efficient in the long run. Buying a $650 PC is nice and all, but use it as a starting point and upgrade it as much as frequently possible. Constantly buying $600 machines will waste your money due to how long they last before they are unable to keep up. Spending $1000 - $1500 every 3 - 5 years will greatly help.

If you want to talk to me about this more, please feel free to message me on Skype (metkil). I'll gladly help out (assuming I'm not distracted by D3 ).

im running a Radeon HD 5850 and a 6-core and can run bf3 on high.
Honestly if you get this card:

and any Quad Core Cpu you will be fine with running those games.

Reviews are a powerful thing. That PC only has 3 reviews, all of them rated at 1 out of 5 and all claiming that the PC was DOA. I personally do not like iBuyPower very much. All I ever see is problems with them, and this product with its reviews just add evidence to that.

However, the components are a nice setup. If you can get a PC with comparable parts you should be alright.
