So I hope this off the shelf PC will be adequate for most gaming for a while

6450 is no good, list some video card prices over there for me or something, because there is noway in hell you can run off a 6450 on games like BF3 or SC2 or even WoW at high quality+high FPS, not even a 5770 can do that and the 6450 is much much lower spec.
