Edit: My questions have been answered.

Alright, I haven't done anything like this in a long time. So please excuse any stupid questions I ask. I have no issues navigating software, setting up a network, whatever. But the hardware side has me a little lost since I've never bought my own computer before.

What I'm mainly looking for is something cheap, but will last me awhile. All I really do is watch anime or play older style games, but I would like to watch what I want for a while and in good quality. I'm a little sick of jumping computers every two or three years from what I can get my hands on, and then have the computer be too slow for me to watch stuff properly. I want to get a nice screen that is 1920x1080 with HD support, and I have a friend that can get me discounts through walmart so I was thinking of ordering everything there. Here's one I've been looking at

Now this doesn't seem to include 1000Base-T Ethernet. Is it necessary? Everything else seems to include it. From what I've read looking around, the graphics card isn't the greatest either, and the power supply could be better as "waterbowl" says here

So I was thinking of upgrading them when possible with the items in his description.

For what I want, should this do the trick? Should I upgrade the video card even if I'm not doing stuff like playing starcraft 2 on high settings? I will take other recommendations as well. My budget is about $800 right now for a comp and a screen (I know, I'm pushing it) The discount I get is 10% Thanks for any help

Answered. This thread may now be closed, thank you!

Since you are in the US....
HP has a 30-33% laptops with decent video cards. They have Sandy Bridge i7 processors and ATI 6470 or 6770(ranks about #55). They are not 1080p lappies but, 900p is close enough for the price. :P
They also have some deals on their Pavilion line...I think it was 25%.
And I think Dell has- 20% refurbs. But they are random builds.
They have some deals on XPS which have 1080p screens but....out of your budget. :P
If you know where the slickdeals are....... :P

I look around a lot....because I am part cheap ass. :P

screw buying a pc build your own it all plug and play and painfully simple

You want a laptop for gaming? Get that is designed after a stealth jet. http://www.xoticpc.com/
