I agree with my team mate Manic. While the video card is just average and not a real strong gaming card, any upgrades will require a bigger and better power supply. For example an 8800gts would require something like a Corsair 550 power supply. To be quite honest, I would be surprised if that 420 watt power supply even with that average video card made it through the year warranty period. The CPU is fine for gaming.

I would not purchase this unit if you plan on doing any worthwhile gaming. That is my opinion.
