Circuit City is in servere financial trouble, and has laid off a number of their staff. Nobody knows how reliable their support or warranty will be.

I would not get a Compaq Presario without a long warranty... and that one has only one year.
Both video cards are OK, but they may put a great deal of extra stress on the system, particularly the power supply. I would want a minimum of 500 Watt power supply with 24 amps or higher output... and more is better.

I agree, Circuit City is doing bad at the moment and are just trying to sell anything so they lowered all the prices from Very high to almost nothing

Do you live in the US or somewhere else?

If you live in the US you can try www.newegg.com for parts to build a computer or buy a prebuilt from there that are pretty good for the price they have.

If you live in Canada then you can try www.TigerDirect.ca ( I think that's it, don't remember )

then can yall recommend me the best graphic card without having to upgrade the power supply , it has a PCI express slot

I would suggest getting a Dell that matches your needs for computing. This way you can choose the parts that get put into your PC. - http://www.dell.com/content/products...=19&l=en&s=dhs
