Should this be what i should get? and would it run good for a cheap gaming rig?

First one (the computer) yes.

Second on (the video card) no. 9500 is not meant for gaming. That card is on newegg for $44 bucks, for $100 you can get a real gaming card, for example:


100 after rebate (9800gtx+ and GTS250 are the same card, just new name)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814133246
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814127423
Or a ATI 4850
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814150337


To give you a performance comparison of what you linked, to the ones I linked (for the same price):

Card:-----------Pixels/second------Textures/second---GB/s (memory)
9500GT---------4400------------------------8800--------------------16
9800gtx+------11808----------------------47232--------------------70.4
GTX250--------11808----------------------47232--------------------70.4
HD4850--------10000----------------------25000--------------------64

Best Buy is way over priced. I dont buy shit from them even though they pay me, but yeah their prices suck.

Oh and becareful with compaqs had a lot of returns on there stuff. They are made by HP but the HP's were a lot more reliable. A lot of compaqs were bad out of the box.
