Nothing looks bad except for the Intel graphics. You're going to want an ATI or nVidia card. Which one depends on your budget. But you won't be doing much (or any, depending on the game) gaming with that. You might not want to get it depending on the price, as you'll want a new video card.

The only thing I see lacking is the Video. Oh by the way my friend is selling his Rig on craigslist would you be interested? The poor fellow is desperetly trying to sell it. The Specs are in his Sig and his profile is here so you can send him a PM if you're interested. He's a reliable person so please give him a chance. http://www.gamespot.com/users/RedxSniper/. Hopefully you live in the US.

No the video is very bad and I doubt it has a name brand power supply. Check my friends Rig that he is selling. His Rig can knock all the latest games out of the park.

Buy it!!!! You'd need a video card, but that'd only be like $200 more for a 4890.

I looked at it and his craigslist page for it. It sounds good but I'm not interested because I'm only looking locally. Thanks though.

Ask about the power supply (PSU). If it's at least 550w you should definitely pick this computer up and then throw in a video card.

every thing looks good except you need to buy a graphics card as that one uses integrated which is terrible for gaming. and how much are you paying btw and from where are you buying it from?
