As there is only 2 slots in this one, you'll have to replace the current 2x512mb sticks with 2x1gb sticks. That's the highest capacity that is compatible.

That leaves $70 for a GPU?

Ah, Good. The only way I can play Garry's Mod on this one is closing absolutely everything. And even then, my computer will simply shut off from the load.

You'd be able to play Garry's Mod, spawn 1000s of props, and then possibly minimize and go watch a youtube video while playing Minecraft as well.

Portal 2 and MSN at the same time? :P

Lol?
Of course. It's not one of those computers you'd have to exit half your processors before you game. It's a great multitasker.

Video :    Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Up to 224MB shared video memory
PCI-Express® (PCI-E x16) slot available for upgrade

This is great, and also a Dual Core pentium.

Just make sure the case is wide enough, unless you'd possibly have to get a half height card, and make sure there's another lane in front open, for the cooler, if the cooler is big.
Do you have your heart absolutely set on that 9500? Cause it is a few gens old, you'd be better going for a newer low end card.

New one would be the one from the topic post. 1920x1080.

Crysis 2 would possibly be a bit of a problem at that resolution, but you'd still be able to medium detail it with playable FPS.

500 watts.

That should be ample for a 460 so long as it's a reliable brand or 80+ gold, silver or bronze.
I'm running a faster 5850 on a 550w with no problem, the recommended was 500, but I went one over.

Ethan, you're sure all my parts will function together, right?

Also, what can they do game wise? Portal 2 on max?

Portal 2 on max, Bad Company 2 on max, Mafia 2 on max (depending on resolution moreso).
Even Crysis 2 on max, depending on resolution.
What is your monitors resolution?

It's not me that isn't ok with the idea, I would've bought the PC from 0 if it was for me, and keep the HDD (update new drivers, move to new hardware, delete old drivers), but my dad isn't ok with the situation, seeing he's the one that's "funding" this.

Complain to the stuff company that built it.

To be honest, computer warranties are stuff anyway. You can always locate the source of the problem, and most companies have warranties on those parts anyway, e.g XFX has a lifetime warranty on its GPUs.
Just open it up :)
Also, 2.8GHz with 4 cores doesn't mean 11.2GHz total. It just means 4 processors working beside each other to compute problems that can be divided between them.

BTW What wattage is the PSU in it?
