Because of the 6450 graphics card, it won't be able to play most modern games even on the lowest settings, and judging by the i5-2320 it looks like you're buying a pre-built, DON'T EVER DO THAT, pm me with your budget and I'll put together a build that'll kick the living crap out of that

wow, with that money you could build a 5 times better PC.
this rig is worth less than 500$
Extremely overpriced.
I'd recommend you build your own.
Do a youtube search: how to build a computer hardware canucks. (can't link it because i'm on an iPad ATM.)
Watch that video.
PM me your budget if you decide.

iBuyPower.com and CyberpowerPC.com are a ripoff. Building your own is the best thing to do.
