You want a dedicated video card with no less than 512MB VRAM.

I don't recognize that video card itself, but the 256 probably wouldn't run it.

I originally was typing about a laptop for $500 that would run FFXIV on low settings, but then I reread and realized you wanted a desktop. I'll have to see what I can find.

You can build a decently good desktop for 500-700 bucks nowadays, depending on if your computer savvy that is.

the nvidia 6150se is onboard vid, so dont even think you could get to the ffxiv splash screen. so all you need for that pc to play ffxiv is a new powersupply and like maybe a nvidia 250gts
