    Try to remember that were not psychic and have different opinions than you. That said, to answer this question, one would need to know the games you play, the games you plan on playing, and the settings ( including resolution ) you plan on playing them at.

    How long would it last?

    It is made by Acer, so I would guess that it will break sometime during shipping, or within the first few days of use. If you are lucky, it might last 6 months to a year. In terms of performance, it is the low end of the last generation, so there are already games that will run poorly or only at low resolutions.

    Also, Windows 7 has been out for 8 days now. This system has a "free upgrade" from vista, but you can get systems that come with Windows 7 pre-installed.

    One with an Intel CPU and a GTX 295 (maximum 1920x1200 optimum results).

    I5 or I7, and either a 295 or a 5870.
