I'm looking to get something decent for about a grand. I don't need to run Crysis on max settings or anything like that, just be able to run a decent amount of games on medium settings. Will this pc do the trick? Is anything on this model not upgradeable in the future?(IE, is the graphic card integrated). Thanks for any and all help, I'm not really that smart with computers!
