I'm looking to buy a PC for my brother considering Black Friday sales for around ~$700. Any suggestions? I've found these possibilities so far, but I'd really like to ensure that they can run Natural Selection 2, Battlefield 3, and Smite on at least medium settings.

    The one on amozon is fairly good for that price.

    As for battlefield 3 gaming on that rig with the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, here is the proformance for it

    Dont know what it would be for NS2 though. Its a decent midrange card for that price though i'd prefer to upgrade on that

    I'm using a 570. It's doing well on all modern games.

    Dunno how much of a drop you take for a 550 Ti.
