That's okay, but i dont think gaming would be too much of a scream on it.

You'll probably wan't to go for a better graphics card, and processor (maybe i5 2500k) if you want to game on it.

If your intended use for this PC is to do basic web-browsing, then yes, it's fine. These are known as ''all in one'' PC's. Don't expect to play any games on it. You'll have almost zero upgrade options. I'd only get one if I was space cautious and didn't do anything demanding.

I'd suggest G skill 2x4 RAM
The graphics card seems a bit outdated, if you want to max games, I suggest radeon HD 5870, or 5970 if you don't want to get a new graphics card any time soon
Probably a better mobo too

(Go make a custom one)

Get a standalone desktop, so you can upgrade the graphics card etc in the future should you need it. You could get yourself a great gaming pc for 600, that would blow up if you tried to run anything of power on it

There is no video card, it's built into the CPU ( Like the i3-2100 ). Replacing a mini-itx mobo wouldn't be worth it, at all. You'd also need a new O/S if you upgrade the HDD/MOBO. The OEM Windows 7 license is assigned to the MOBO - You'd need the full retail version.

Never buy a pre-built PC, yes it may have 4BG RAM but you don't know the quality of the stuff they put in most likely it's a load of crap you need to build it your self to save hundreds and know what is going into the pc.

850 for a pre-built will get you a load of crap you could get something awesome for that price if you build it yourself.
