Socket 775 - Old socket. Future upgradeability - nil.
Just to start.
9500GT - still "meh."
What kind of budget are you looking at with this?
Won't be at lowest settings but will still be at low settings. You will be doing the equivalent of playing on a nintendo 64 while the people who saved up their money are playing on a PS3. Sure it's still a great game, sure you will still have fun but if that system is in the price range you are looking at then you will never be playing the game with high graphic settings.
My suggestion would be to do like Memphis Bill said and give us your budget. There are people on here who are experts at tracking down the very best system available for any budget.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

I'd agree with that, I'd be surprised if you couldn't do better than that machine for your budget. Yeah, it will work at lower quality settings but if you're buying a new machine you may as well get as much bang as possible for your budget.

Real low end CPU, even among Socket 775 processors. A big step down from the Athlon II X4 620 you had in your previous post.
Memory with worse CAS timings that standard DDR2-800, which is CL 5. At least it's 4GB but DDR2 is on it's way out.
Motherboard isn't even using the current chipset for Socket 775 and a budget version from that old chipset series to boot.
Video card is underpowered and if you are looking to run with Ultramode settings but it's a lot better than an integrated 9200 from the previous post. It should run the game fairly will, just not with the new Ultramode settings. Pre i17 graphics turned up was still quite pretty. DDR2 video memory hurts lowers the video card's performance.
It seems that this system is built from old inventory that the shop is looking to get rid off. Overall however, it's a better "out of the box" gaming platform than the one in your previous post simply by having a real video card.
