    Can't wait for my new Desktop Intel Core i5 650 3.20 Ghz with 8 GB RAM 1TB Hard Drive! USB PORTS: 6 in the back 2 in the front. On bored graphics. Wonder if it'll be good for gaming?:confused

    Ought to be a good base rig to start out with. 8GB of RAM is a good gaming amount. A lot depends on the quality of the motherboard and what onboard graphics it has. Discrete video cards are much better for overall graphics performance, but the newer onboard graphic solutions (coupled with plenty of system RAM) are pretty impressive.

    Good thing is, most modern motherboards have PCI-E X16 slots so you will always be able to add in a beefy video card if the onboard graphics aren't up to the par you need.

    New computers are fun! :)
