  1. Seems good to me...
  2. nah. it's a piece of crap.
  3. The graphic card is weak. Just built your own desktop. Mix & match.
  4. It's not going to be good, if you plan to have intense graphics on games like Crysis(one of the most intense graphical game out). Otherwise, if you plan to play games like WoW than, it should be fine. But the processor is a bit slow if you want WoW to have almost no lag.
