1. It really depends on the games you play, that's a really good computer though the graphics might be a little restricted on some more intense games but it's easy and cheap to upgrade it by putting a graphics card in it. It's certainly a good fairly future proof computer if your willing to pay that much for a computer then I'm sure it'll be great for you.
2. Its got the complete basics of what you need and since you arent a hardcore gamer or anything it should be fine but it depends on the price i would definately not pay more than $800 for that computer. If you live in Australia then i would go for a dell, they are cheap and you upgrade them with diffrent options. That setup you got there is good for music and surfing the web but thats pretty much about it, shared graphics cards really suck you cant play any of the new games on it. Edit Celeron 1.6 is the processor that it uses and i have personally never had a celeron cause i hear they are a real pain in the ass to pgrade if even possible. But its up to you for $600 it aint bad but i can get cheaper computers down here in Australia. For gaming it can handle the old games e.g warcraft, diablo 2 exp, starcraft (greatest games ever made). But for new games it wont even load the start up page Ram is ok , hard drive is good , processor and graphics card is all that you really need to change. Ask if you can upgrade those two for say an extra $200, get a separate graphics card Not an onboard one. Need more help just ask. And what type of games do you plan on playing?
3. It depends how much the investment is. If it is £20K then NO, if it is about £1K then yes. However, you should also consider getting a great monitor to. Everything looks better on a large screen. As a pointer, i bought a laptop 2 years ago, with a similar spec to that PC and it only cost me £1K. J2G
4. Graphics are not enough. Processor is not good. Get Core 2 Duo at least. Otherwise OK
