I've been looking for a similar computer, minus the ram. You're gonna be hard pressed to find a computer with a dedicated graphic card for 500 bucks, other than a refurbished computers. The best I could find on a new computer as of late is the Lenovo Y550

IdeaPad Y550 -1Year Depot


Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T4200 (2.00GHz 800MHz 1MBL2)
Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic 32
nVidia Geforce G 130M graphic card with 512MB memory
15.6 HD WLED Glossy, 1366*768 with 1.3M integrated Camera
1x1 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066MHz SODIMM Memory
160GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
SuperMulti DVD Recordable (Tray type)
Intel WiFi Link 5100 1x2 (AGN) WLAN
6 Cell Lithium-Ion 2.6Ah
4186: 1Year Depot Warranty


Subtotal: $954.00
Sale Price: $620.10
[USPBESTSELLERS] Coupon -$62.01
Estimated total: $558.09* (Still need to add State tax & Recycling fees)
Total savings $395.91

You'd need to shell out another 60 bucks on aftermarket DDR3 Ram at newegg or wherever else sells it to get 4 GBs, yeah.

For a refurb, there are definitely better options. Either at Lenovo, Dell, or HP. However, I myself am rather leery about purchasing one, for the lack of support.

If you find anything, I'd like to know as well. My hunt has only given me refurb as the best bet for dedicated video cards, besides the Lenovo Y550

Hmmm... I'm not impressed with the specs of that Lenovo. Maybe we'll see some good deals with the Labor Day sales?

Keep 'em coming, people!
