Need help buying a new rig...Follow

So, after I got a whole spec ready to build my rig, some things came up and my budget is now way less than it was before. However, I now have about 400$ in Best Buy gift cards.

Due to this fact, I am really focusing on buying a rig from BB (I cannot find any parts I like there, so this is my only option).

At max I have about $600 on top of the 400 in BB cash. However, I would really like to keep this to a minimum for various reasons.

The biggest problem? I need a monitor and printer on top of the tower.

I found one combo deal that uses an Intel Dual Core Pentium processer. From my research, these aren't as good as the Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs and tend to run hotter. Does anyone have experience with these?

It also only comes with a chipset for a GPU (Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100).

Here is a link to the combo.

Will this be able to adequately play WoW until I can manage to budget for a dedicated graphics card?

Once I get a better GPU, will it be able to play some of the newer MMOs (AoC, etc.)?

Thanks!

Heres what I would suggest as all those computers suck. Since you have $400 of BB only crap why not purchase the monitor and printer from them with that. Use the 600 bucks to build you a new rig.

If worse comes to worse save your money and blow the $400 best buy cash on a wii or ps3 or xbox.

Buy two HD4850's from Best Buy, sell one, and don't lose a ludicrous amount of money to overpricing.
