What makes you think that's a gaming PC lol.
Old Athlon technology, budget entry level GPU.

GPU is really good actually:

I've got a nearly equivalent 4650 sitting around. Yes, it can run Crysis ultra high, but it can also only just play light games like L4D on high as well. Sometimes it even struggled on older Source games.

Youre never going to make a goood gaming PC for 300$. I advise you buy PARTS not full computer. If you buy them individual parts and then put it together it will be a much better computer. But you cant get a gaming PC for 300$

4650 isn't on the level of the 5570.

I don't think you could run Left 4 Dead 2 on integrated graphics.
You can, i used to have integrated and i could run l4d2 but not half life 2.
