All "Media Center" type PCs aren't built for gamers, they're built for multimedia (MP3, Youtube, DVD, etc). The games at Pogo don't exactly tax a video card any younger than, say 10 years old. Sully: do not get another GeForce 5 series card, they were a major mistake from Nvidia and the only reason ATI is still around in any major capacity, otherwise ATI would have been swept away like so many others. It would help to know just what games you intend on playing in order to really help you out, also the other components in your system do matter (especially CPU type/speed, system RAM, and OS). I'm currently using a GeForce 9800 for games such as Oblivion and Fallout 3 and it works very well (the 4GB of system RAM also helps tremendously).
