Advice need on setting up gaming system.

I have a Dell Dimension E520 that I use as a Media Center. I would also like to use it for some gaming but I am not sure if the specs are good enough. What do you guys think?

It's running a Core2Duo @ 2.5GHZ it has 4GB ram and has a 1GB Graphics Card.. Running 7 Ultimate 64Bit.

install a game a see how it runs.
also the model of the video card will help us determine if the card is powerful enough.

It's a MSI 1GB

Does this help at all? MSI 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series

That is exactly what is needed. I would upgrade the card if you can afford it. I need a new one too...

Thanks. I actually just put this one in. I guess gaming is out for me.
