Areo
Hello,
My name is AreoGames.
I have been having trouble with opening MC 1.7.8.
My Issue: It opens the program MC 1.7.8, however after the MOJANG symbol, it closes MC 1.7.8 and opens the Minecraft Launcher. (not the error page)
I have been having the "old graphics card detected may... have issues with Open GL 2.1" sign above the multiplayer and single player buttons.
What's my problem?
How can it be fixed?
Should I buy a new computer?
If so, please recommend a good gaming one for 600-700 dollars.

Try Updating your drivers, if that does not work try downgrading them a while, on my computer (This is a old PC) I installled the new one and it wouldn't let me launch MC 1.7.8, then I downgraded and it launched, but I couldn't go fullscreen.
Try it, if not refer to another Gamer more experienced than I.

Instead of getting a brand new computer, just buy new GPU. I can't recommend one tho because I don't know your full specs.
What are your specs?
$600-700 could get a very nice Graphics Card btw

You mentioned a OpenGL problem, This would be due to your graphics card. If you have a really old computer / gpu then you will need a replacement, if not simply update your gpu drivers.
EDIT: Also maybe updating your LWJGL libararies may help.
