Not only does the computer lack a good graphic card to run anything worth playing (on board graphic FTL ), it's power supply was INSUFFICIENT TO POWER A 8800 GT Nvidea card...
I did some analyzing on the PC and found out that all of the parts used to put together the rig would cost me like 400-500 dollars total if I build the computer myself...
Do not buy a full package computer for gaming, unless you know specifically what the computer is intended for, period.

I have to agree completely with the exceptions of Dell's XPS series. Even when you consider the XPS's you can usually go on newegg and mwave and buy everything you need to build a brutal gaming machine for less than what you would pay for dells best XPS's. My friend built a computer from newegg and mwave for $700 *w/ widescreen 21" LCD Monitor* and its is just as good if not better than the $1000 XPS's *w/o monitor* And though my computer is lacking ram and a bigger PSU I am happy to have a GF 9500GT, its not the best but is gets the job done very very well.
