It really depends on the games that you want to play on it.  It will play basic games okay but will struggle with high powered games.

The problem I think comes with the graphics card. 9500GT good enough for AOE3 and those kind of games. For games getting closer to like Crysis, you're not going to like it at all.

The processor is not terrible, though.

That graphics cards would let you down.
