You got integrated graphics so I'm betting IF it manages to run it won't run that well and it'll have to be on the lowest settings and resolution.

Rest of your system is fine you just need to add a decent graphics card if you want to play any games.

Oh :[ I was hoping for at least medium.

Do you know of any good cheap graphics card? Looking to spend about $80..if not I'll just get this for my 360 instead.

it's still a 3D engine regardless of how incredibly well Valve optimized it. And yes, integrated graphics are THAT bad. even a low end card from this generation would fair much better.

Awh :[ From what I know video cards are around $100....I just bought this PC for $600 :\

Looks like it's best just buying it for 360.

Don't listen to them! Even with my GMA 950 I could still run this game alright. So you should be fine, but as the others said, LOOK INTO A NEW GRAPHICS CARD!!! Actually, you know what? Give me your steam ID and I'll give you my TF2 Guest Pass.

Just get it for your 360. I've tried playing games on the same integrated video you have, only in a laptop, and it was absolutely pitiful. Yeah, it might run, but it will be ugly and slow.

You don't want it for the 360. The community isn't as active as the PC version, and Valve has released so much more content for the PC version.
