No, certainly not. It only has a dual-core processor. Gaming desktops use at least a quad core. And it has Radeon 4200 graphics card. The first number represents the series, the rest of the numbers represent the model. You’ll want at least a 4600 or 5600 level model for gaming.

Both of those come with horrible graphics cards, you’re likely paying way too much for the system. The lower one would probably perform better though, the first generation of phenom were kind of blah.

We will soon be updating our enterprise to a backend of servers that include 3x Server 2008 R2 boxes. One acting as AD, DNS, DHCP, and WDS server, that we will promoted from our existing 03 box. One acting as a SAN running SANMelody with tiered storage. And one acting as our HyperV, AppV box for legacy server virtualization and App pushing. This infrastructure will talk to 500 machines with a gigabit link between 4 IDFs and 1 MDF over 5 buildings. I want to know if I’m missing something, for example sharepoint, or another MS service that would be beneficial. Hopefully you can help. If anythings glaringly obvious, let me know. Much appreciated.

As it is, it looks pretty good.
