    Adding a more powerful card completely depends on the PSU - you'd have to find the details of that somewhere first, chances are it may be under the minimum as it's a Medion.

    As is, thats allright money for a new PC - but you'll get a much better deal on adverts.ie. There's a full system minus a case going atm for €600 odd with an HD4870.

    It's a fairly decent machine. The 9600GT is a good gaming card if your monitor is 19" or below - at that size it'll run more or less anything at max settings. Obviously if you have a 24" monitor it'll be a little weaker but overall, it's a good gaming card and probably won't have to be replaced.

    What he said. My bro bought a medion last year. The psu failed and ended up melting the mobo i think. Bloody awful smell that came out of the thing. At the end of the day you get what you pay, they have to cut corners somewhere to get it that cheap. ;)

    My medion dual core system is almost 3yrs old & never a problem, don't they give a 3yr collect & return warranty,..hard to beat that

    On a 19" or smaller monitor yes, but forget about it if you have 22"+ widescreens/
