I currently use an acer laptop for playing games with these specs:
AMD A-Series Quad-Core A10-4600M 2.3 GHz (4 MB Cache)
6 GB DDR3 RAM
750 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
15.6-Inch Screen, AMD Radeon(TM) HD 7660G + 7670M Dual Graphics (2gb dedicated)
My problem has been that it gets too hot and shuts itself down while I'm playing (even while using a cooling pad) so I just want to get a pc. I don't need anything crazy though since I don't really play any games that are too demanding so I found a $300ish build that seems good enough

Or would I be better off just getting something off of ebay and upgrading it? There are some on there for pretty cheap that seem like they only need a gpu and ram upgrade like this:

sorry for the long post, and thanks
