Default $700 Budget Computer

Hey everyone, my grandma needs a new computer and her limit is $700. She is going to reuse her old monitor and mouse, she just needs the computer and a new keyboard. And yes people I come over and I play games so I would need to have it powerful. Don't skimp out, she wants Quad-Core, a big hard drive, allot of RAM (She hates waiting for programs to load that take a long time), and a graphics card that can play games for about 2Yrs(That's for me..)?

THANKS!

She likes this case:

She needs Operating System too!
