Default Re: Rate this desktop please, Compare it to my old one.

That is a Pentium Dual Core processor which is a Core2 Duo with a 800MHz FSB and 1MB of on board cache. It will be better than your old system but looks overpriced.

That system is pretty far from a gaming system.

The processor is a huge part of gaming performance. I went from limping along in BF2 with a Pentium D processor to running at full video options at max res with the same video card by upgrading to an E6700.

I would recommend looking for a system with at least an E6700 or an E6550. You are going to need to spend close to $1k for a decent gaming system. At the least get a Core 2 Duo with 4MB of cache. At the very least get an E6xxx series.
