for gaming it will be poor, because it has no graphics card, however, adding a Nvidia GeForce 610 (35) would be able to play MC maxed at good FPS and arma 2 at decent specs (I have the graphics card and recommend it for the price )

apart from that its pretty good

you are aware you only have "Windows 7 64-Bit TRIAL Edition" if you buy the PC?

Hi thanks for the reply can you link me to the graphics card dude just for future reference? Yeah ive got a windows 7 ultimate disk I go with my laptop and it says I can use the activation key on 3 devices so that will work yeah? Cheers Greig

That's a terrible graphics card IMO, a good graphics card if you're on a budget is any Radeon HD 7750. Sure the 7750 series is a little bit more expensive than the GeForce GT610 but it is soooo much better and worth it.

OP:Get this GPU and then you won't have to upgrade in the future when you realise how bad your GT610 is in comparison with other PC's.

cool ill check that out read some reviews. what do you think of the rest of it obviously room for improvement but as a kinda starting block ? mainly multi tasking I do loads of windows programs internet pages etc?

Cheers

It looks okay but I would never buy it. I don't like to deal with pre-built's. You would be better custom building a PC.

I'd take he's advice on the graphics card, he seems to know more than me
I only know how good the 610 is from experience,I've never looked into radeon's

The GT610 would be okay if he only had a little to spend but the Radeon HD7750 series is around 7x better than the GT610. If OP has even more to spend, you might want to think about upgrading to a Radeon HD7770 or even HD7850 series. The HD7750 is the lower end of the good Radeon's but still definitely worth it. I'm not so sure about SSD as I don't use SSD myself!
