most modern PC games are very demanding. with some of the most demanding ones requiring a top of the line gaming PC if you want to max them out and apply stuff like 4x AA and 16x AF. most tablets have games like you would find on a any other portable game system (eg a Nintendo DS) and the closest tablets get to a console gaming experience is when they port older console games over to run on a tablet (eg GTA3 for android).

Good news with PC gaming is that you generally don't need to get a super high end $1000 videocard (such as the GTX 690) to max out most games, probably 99% of the current games are targeted at midrange gaming PC's

horrible system for the price and will not run those games very well (mainly due to the GPU)

the onboard GPU is actually worst than the onboard intel crap that you would find in a cheap core i3

The seller most likely found the cheapest components possible and threw them together then sell it for a high markup.

You may be able to run starcraft 2 on the lowest settings, but it will be laggy.

I while they don't list the model of the GPU, from looking at other motherboards with onboard radeon 3000 series, they they struggle to even run older games such as doom 3 and half life 2

you can get a much better system for the money if you are okay with building, for slightly more money, you can even build a gaming PC that can run the latest games on high settings smoothly

for example, you can build this system and substitute the GTX 560 for a 460 and it will be the same price or cheaper than the computer in that ebay link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-pc-overclocking-pc-building,3273.html

ah ok thanks :) i saw videos on youtube who had the ATI Radeon HD 3000 and they ran games lik cod4 grand

here is some data on which games the card meets the minimum requirements for http://community.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu/ATI+Radeon+HD+3000/games

it is not a gaming GPU

and for that system price, it should at least some with a GTX 460 or radeon HD 6850
