You didn't include the graphic card or system bus, and some other stuff that I don't remember. :l But judging from the processor speed, it's more than good enough. How much is it, by the way.

I game on this computer. Intel Celeron 2.80 GHz 510 MB DDR Memory Really small hard drive. Your computer should do fine for those games.

Get the 199.. its a better deal, it will play MS fine.. I'm not sure about the other games cause I haven't played and I'm too lazy to check the specs...

Where did you find these? D: I would buy them then strip the ram and hardrive :D and resell to someone for like 20 dollars Lmao

the orange box with games like HL2? and CS:S? no, get an actual graphics card, not integrated, integrated will play MS and other crappy games, but you will do nothing in hl2, you will get <30 fps... buy the comp only for MS!

Here is the website. The store is called Computer Liquidators, and as far as I know its only in London. Also these computers are most likely used as they do used and new computers. I think you can order from their site though. http://www.buysonic.ca/index.php/ What if I put this into it? Would The Orange Box work? P.S. I'm not too tech savy =/ http://www.buysonic.ca/index.php/hardware/pci-cards/sound-video/msi-geforce-9400gt-1gb-gddr2.html

I don't think that 200$ one will game too well. This one seems like it would be fairly good. The other $300 one isn't much better then the $200 one. @above: That graphics card isn't worth it. Also, your power supply may not be able to run it, let alone that you may not have slots.

Also if you want a good cheap graphics card get the 8400 GC (Think that's the name) Off Tiger it's like 60ish bucks and it's pretty damned good

Here is their part section, could I build a decent gaming computer with any of this? http://www.buysonic.ca/index.php/hardware.html P.S. They don't have cases on the website, but I'll be buying in store and they have them in there.
