Title: Borys, Frag: Would this be a good computer for gaming?
Post by: Kestastrophe on September 08, 2008, 12:50:08 PM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883109018 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883109018)

I realize that the graphics card that comes with this PC is not very good, but is would this be a good PC to start with throw on a GPU and extra RAM? I am not trying to run Crysis, although if I could that would be awesome, I am only going to be playing at 1440 x 900.

Input appreciated.

That 6150 is GARBAGE though. Might as well get an overclocked Geforce 4 Ti 4200, good luck running even WoW on that integrated video.

worse. the 6150 is roughly comparable to a shader 3.0-enabled take on the GeForce 3.

With integrated video in so much of the low-end crap, I suppose it's a little difficult to find something.

That's basically what I'm looking for.
