Help needed with buying a new PC

TangledMemories_2

Hi All

Need some advice with buying a new desktop PC. OH does alot of online gaming and the recommended requirements for his game are:

-OS: Windows® XP SP2 / Windows Vista® / Windows® 7 (32 or 64 bit)
-CPU: Intel® E8400 Core™2 Duo or AMD Athlon™ X2 5600+
-Memory: 2 GB Ram+
-Video: NVIDIA GeForce 8800/ ATI Radeon HD 3850+

Now...I understand about RAM and stuff like that but when it comes to the graphics..I'm stumped!:D

So...been looking at the Acer X3400 AMD or the Acer X3950 (both in my price range ) but I don't know if the graphics in them are going to be sufficient ...

Any help?!

Look here. The 3850 gives a rating of 811, so anything above that is fine
