im about to buy a computer and i need help

Still, It would be better and cheaper to build it yourself. You could get much more powerful parts.

There are multiple tutorials on how to assemble computer parts, and there is unlimited customization capabilities on assembling your own PC.

Processor and ram are **** that computer was new about 5 years ago it most likely wont run even GTA SA on high even with a good graphics card

Ok u will not find a computer that will run GTA IV for $180, probably wont even run GTA SA good enough to play it online so go for the base setup that will run GTA IV. My computer is old and cheap but still runs GTA IV fine with all the emergancy vehicles modded on medium to high settings
the specs are
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 5200+ (AM2 chip)
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 1GB GDDR3
Ram: 4GB DDR2
HDD: 1TB Samsung HD103SJ and 250GB Western Digital WD2500KS
Sound: Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
OS: Windows XP Pro SP3
Wired keyboard and mouse
Logitech X530 Speaker System
DirectX 10

i prefer windows XP because i think it is the most stable OS windows have made and that most older games work on but it is you choice to what you use
