In the end, unless you plan on playing older games, or are OK running them at lower specs you are going to spend $400 to $600 just on the video card alone.

Nothing wrong with doing that, just be aware of it. You aren't going to be overly enthralled with any games released in the last 1 to 3 years played on these specs I don't believe.

Thanks for the info, I'm assuming that to keep those computers at an appealing price point some corners had to be cut and the motherboard was chosen. I'm leaning more and more towards just building one myself.
