Any recommended desktops?

I plan on using it for gaming and preferably from best buy.

More than 4gb RAM
Graphics card [b]CANNOT[/b] be an intel
Any CPU that will last a while
A GPU that will be good for a year or two (six months is also fine)
Preferably $600-$900
Cannot buy online
I live in PA

Just curious, why no Intel for Graphics? Do they really suck or something [Not Tech-savvy]

I suggest finding a computer shop nearby and asking them. They'll most likely help you more than any of us.

Can you buy from there? IIRC, Microcenter does build a computer if you ask them. I'm not 100% sure though (don't have a MC near me). So if this an option as well, it is worth considering.

As stated already a few times, it would be helpful to know what games you will be playing in order to determine what you should get. Usually when I look at desktops at BB, your options are very limited in the <$900 price point.

While gaming laptops does have their place, nowhere in this thread except yours even mentioned him getting a laptop.

Ive never seen those honestly. If you're looking to just buy a premade desktop it makes things a little harder. However you can do it go to newegg.com and search for some desktops or call customer support.

What games you will be playing?
Where are you from (don't need to give me your address, but I need to know if there's other stores that you can go to that is within your area)?
Can you buy a computer online from a store like Newegg?

There are Intel IGPs such as the Intel Graphic HD 3000/4000.
