The computer I'm looking at is the iBUYPOWER - Desktop - 8GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive from Best Buy. I know it will run Minecraft just fine, (thats what I'll mostly be playing). Will I need to upgrade the HDD to 1TB or is 500GB alright… If you want to look at it…
Is this a great gaming computer?

Best bet is to ask instore, then search online

NVIDIA GT 610 is a BAD BAD BAD GPU for gaming! It might have some problems with minecraft in highest rendering distance! Look for something with a better GPU

Umm Great is not the word I was thinking of… More like over priced JUNK.
You can build that on amazon for $250 a few dudes were looking at the cheapest spare computer which could be built.
Dude seriously the computers a piece of junk, only good for browsing the net and watching video - interestingly it can video edit - but not very good lol.

Yes but you can get cheaper pc's on amazon. 500 should be alright and you can always put a new HDD in the gpu is not great

No it is not. It looks good, and does have some very nice parts on it, like the CPU… BUT… It does not have a graphics card. It just has the usual nvidia chipset on the motherboard…
a good graphics card can run into hundreds of dollars alone…
May I suggest getting a computer with an AMD APU. It is a 4 core processor with actual graphics cores as well.
With a good APU, you do not need a graphics card, and it WILL run games like Battlefielf 4 easily and at high resoltion no less.
don't take my word for it, google it, you tube it, check it out for yourself bro.
The AMD APU also has HSA optimization.
witness the APU crush the Intel chip which was even given an Nvidia 630 to help it out.
