The only thing I din't like is the power supply the wattage is more then enough if you're not planning on adding a video card but I would prefer to see a quality unit like the ones recommended in the power supply selection sticky in my signature.

I hope you dont want to game ...... onboard graphics is very challenged when it comes to gaming

Im not really the gaming type of person, i might play the odd game but not ones that need big graphics. If i did want a graphics card then it would be fine for me to add one later wouldn't it?

yes ...... you are correct

After thinking about what you said i thought i might aswell get a graphics card now instead of having to mess about after.

Would this graphics gard be suitable for minor gaming?
