I'm looking to get one for mostly games and photoshop. Can anyone tell me if this computer I found for $800 is a good deal and if it will be able to run newer games?

The weakest link there is the graphics card. It'll play the newest games, but on low-medium for decent frame-rates.

Not worth it, if you watch a few videos you can build one yourself with much better parts for the same money.

Are there any package deals where you can buy all the parts necessary in one purchase or do I need to buy each part individually?

thanks I'll keep checking newegg, it doesn't seem like they have a very good deal today.
