I have one more question...well my office area where my computer will be located is in a separate room off my garage with no A/C or heating. so i want to know if the computer is delicate in those types of areas and if i should get anything to make it better because i am willing to do so.
No it'll be perfectly fine.
In the summertime if it's really hot your temps might get high, but it'll be nothing to worry about.
Winter is good for computers as it lowers temperatures.
But again, tell us what games you're playing. If only Minecraft and SimCity, the build I posted is way overkill.
thank you both so much. were either of them hard to build? it doesnt particularly matter, i just want to know so i know what im getting myself into. and are those better than any pre-built computers i can get for what im looking for?
I didn't build the one I posted, but it will be easy to build.
Here is a tutorial:
And yes, it will be way better than any prebuilt at that price range.
Gave you a lot in your budget for the best possible experience.
Could go much cheaper, also this is if you are playing BF3, BF4, Crysis, etc. You only need around a $600 build for minecraft. Also gave you great mic and headphones and a mechanical keyboard. Dual IPS monitors as well.

I was using my integrated Radeon HD 4290 on my mobo with dual 1080p monitor.

It's a crippled workstation card.

Exactly this, I want to know how.
I can't hit 4 on my mobo. Although I don't know much about northbridge clocks and voltage, that might be why I can't get higher.

Lolwut, learn to read.
OP's laptop clearly had dual 650Ms. In this case, Txnca is correct. Explain to me how dual 650m is integrated graphics.

EDIT: I get that you can pay online, just that it's better in person.
Depending on how good the deals are and what they are I might pick up a 7870XT if they were to have any in stock.
