Um that video card isn't too hot, upgrade to a 8600GT or similar and it should be good.

Intel 5.6Ghz (2 x 2.8Ghz) Dual Core 64-bit Socket 775 Processor

If its core 2 duo get it, if not then i personally wouldnt get it

. 2GB DDR2 667MHz Memory

nothing wrong with that, in fact alot right ;)

,512MB nVidia GeForce 8400GS PCI-Express 16x Graphics with pixel shader support 4.0 & DirectX10 Support,

That is a really really poor card, you want at least a 7600 gs/gt, but i would reccomend a ATI 1950xtx

That pc will not run any newish games on high on any high resolution

Edit: ignore the guy above, dx 10 has yet to prove its worth and even then the dx10 cards arent amazingly powerful for dx10 games

Upgrade the Vid card to a 8800GTS 320mb Its not expensive and the performance is great. Your CPU and everything else is good enough to run Crysis on high settings (if your getting it).
