The worst part is that it's a fairly good PC otherwise, and would be able to run games on high or max with a half-way decent video card. I have no idea why companies sell gimped PCs like these. Even the best CPU is rather worthless if it's not paired with a good GPU.

Yeah if you are going to swap for that card instead, then you would definitely be able to handle pretty much any game thats released and any of the ones in the near future. My only beef with that particular deal is the game that it comes along with, which to put it lightly...... sucks.

Anyways, t'is a damn shame you didn't get it earlier when that massive steam holiday sale was on. : ( Could have saved yourself a huge bag of money. In either case I would give a thumbs up to Borderlands myself, but i'm not sure if that falls in line with your needs considering that you are low in cash.

Anyway, once you get your new card you could try out ArmA 2 (There's a demo), very good military simulator but also very rough around the edges, and if it's like the previous games it will still be active in 10 years. :P Counter Strike Source + Garry's Mod 10 pack is also very good, as is Team Fortress 2 + Garry's Mod 10 pack, if you can fork out the cash you could also get the THQ pack or Valve pack, both are great packs filled with some awesome games.
