Borys, Frag: Would this be a good computer for gaming?

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.

Aren't they making a Crysis branded PC for like $700? Just buy that.

The CPU isn't great but it's hardly bad by any stretch.

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

How does that GPU compare with my 128MB Geforce 6200 Frag?

wow runs on a 6150 on low/med setting at 20-30 fps. it's not bad for a nasty ig chipset.

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

Is there a good, cheap premade system that you can just plug a decent videocard into and go?

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.
