It's enough. Once I get about 3 people saying so, it's in my inventory. :D

Pretty good for a computer.
I'd say, if you haven't found anything remotely better after scourging the internet, go for it.

I hope this isn't the graphics card that is available with it:

Can't you buy new graphics cards and stuff?

Is 300 watts bad? :(


Even if they were options, you'll still be stuck with bad integreted cards or none.

Is 300 watts bad? :(
If you're going for a powerful card in the future, then upgrade it to a 600 watt.

Everything was okay, until I saw the CPU. Go for an Intel Core 2 Duo or Intel Core 2 Quad.

Problems:

1) Prebuilt= meh
2) Integrated graphics card= blegh
3) Processor= stuff for running multiple games.

You aren't going to be doing serious gaming with this, at all.

Find out for yourself.  Select Crysis.  In general, if your computer can run Crysis, it can run almost anything.
