The computer looks like it's a pre-built PC from HP, Dell, Compaq, Acer or another company. My only concern is the video card-- integrated ATI HD4200. Now, it may run FF14 but it'd be on the lowest settings possible.

Like Reinhardt suggested, try to run the FF14 Benchmark first at both HIGH and LOW. Pay the least attention to the score at the end but to the actual performance during the benchmark. The benchmark runs at a preset setting of something like Medium or HIgh settings. You want to see how well the scenes are animated-- is it slow and skips around a lot? Is the cutscene out of sync with the audio because it's rendering too slowly?

Just keep that in mind when you run the benchmark. If the performance isn't to your liking, you may want to consider upgrading the video card.

Hmm I was hoping if one of you guys was nice enough to build me a PC around like 600-800 dollars from cyberpowerpc.com? =D

Looking at site....the Gamer dragon 8000 would work nicely i think. Has quad core phenom with 5770 ati vid card. Seems to be the best at CP with that price point.

Its kinda difficult to build a pc for someone since one feature may not interest one person and may be a deal breaker for another.
