My brother promised to pay for half of this (http://www.medion.de/ms/aldi/md8396/uk/flash.html) computer. It comes with this (http://www.medion.de/ms/aldi/md8396/uk/flash.html) graphics card.

Is this any good for PC gaming? Bascially, can you tell me any of the games it can run? Thanks in advance.

For games, that looks awful. It is an awful computer for that.

For the amount of money you're spending...i would suggest building your own computer.

The computer isn't bad, the card is though. Very bad. And I second the building the computer thing.

Put in an additional $160 ($139.99 after mail in rebate, might have some trouble if you're European) to purchase this:

...and you'll have yourself a pretty decent rig. Team Fortress 2, Fallout 3, Call of Duty 4, Crysis, Far Cry 2, Barbie Island Adventure, what ever rocks your boat.

Cheers
