Answer 1

yes, your PC is top notch almost.

The integrated graphics card you've is so bad that could make games to be almost unplayable, or they would slow down in battle where lots of graphics explotions appear on scene.

Download a freeware called CPUZ (cpuid.com) or sis sandra (sisoftware.net) to check brand and model of your motherboard. So you can check which video slot you've got and then, make a choice of a good video card to play games much smoothly.

As video cards, it will depend on which graphic slot you've got, if you've got AGP then I recommend an nvidia 7600GS or so. I've got an ATI 9800 pro, and its like 3 times slower than the 7600, but mine is still much more faster than your integrated graphics, so much that I'm not upgrading it yet.. So imagine how you could improve the performance with the 7600.

If you've got a PCI express slot x16, then you have a much wider choice, since most newest videocard comes as pci express.

Answer 2

That's an OK PC. The best thing you could do is to get as good a video card as your budget allows. It will make a lot bigger difference than a faster CPU.

Answer 3

Pretty good system ..except there is no video card or sound card

Get a good video card and a good sound card and youll have a good gameing computer
