It's got a Radeon HD 6530D, Quad-Core 2.1 GHz AMD A6 Processor and 4GB of RAM.

It should run most games on medium to medium-high. Careful with pushing it though, it's only got one fan, and is a mini tower. it'll heat up like crazy.

i will probably be playing most games on low-medium settings for faster performance and i do not really care about how good it looks, and what do you mean by pushing it?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pav...&skuId=3794205

is that one better or worse?

Technically, all of best buy's pre-built computers only come with one fan (chassis) in terms of desktop. I was surprised that ASUS was able to get some laptops into Best Buy with two fans.

Default Will this suffice?

Will the Radeon HD 4200 be able to handle most games on the website on the lowest or low-medium graphical settings

Are you going to record anything or save a ton of videos? If not, you don't need more than 250 GB. Unless you have the silly need to install every single game imaginable, or not use free antivirus / firewall means like COMODO / Microsoft Security Essentials.

But then again, desktops pre-built really never come with 250 GB anymore.

The graphics on your new choice is AMD Radeon HD 6530D (same as your original choice) in case anyone can't find it.

Since you keep choosing mini towers, the fan that's included will be smaller than 120 mm, and will allow the system to heat up faster. Not that it wouldn't on a prebuilt system with a bigger fan, since Best Buy only puts in one fan (on the back only) even if there's spots for three or more.
