Is this computer fit for gaming in 2013?

gaming monitor test 2013 image

this christmas i want to buy a pc for light gaming, here are the specs: 3Ghz quad-core intel i5 CPU,asus directx10 motherboard,8GB ddr3 ram,750GB HDD,1GB asus nvidia geforce graphics card, dvd and blu-ray optical drives, microsoft wired keyboard and mouse, 22'' LED full HD monitor, running the windows 7 OS(i dont plan on upgrading anytime soon).

Answer
This definitely will be fit for gaming. The memory, the space, and the specs are perfect. It'd be a good test subject to try out GTA V on the PC when it eventually comes out ;)

Getting a new graphics card soon... but still unsure if its compatible to my computer?

I'm upgrading my graphics card because it sucks (intel extreme graphics) and i cant play that much games because of its low graphics, I'm interested of playing more games because of it's high Graphics, the graphics im getting gives me the advantage to play the games that i bought months ago, finally i can play good games like COD MW 2 and Assassin's Creed 3. I'm starting to be a gamer but when my uncle gave me a new computer (for casual stuff) it didn't have a good graphics card nor does the Ghz so i started upgrading it and salvaging stuff from my old one, but one more thing that i can finally be finish is a graphics card. The graphics card im getting is the evga geforce GT210 and i'll link what the graphics card is... im from New Zealand so thats why the link is from NZ

i'd already check the infomation (performance, memory etc.) but still unsure
if its going to work, it says that the Resolution for the graphics were:
-2048x1536 Max Analog
-2560x1600 Max Digital
My monitor is only 1280x1024 60hz and im not sure
if its going to work

Answer
As long as you have a PCI-e slot on your motherboard that GeForce GT210 should work.
However, that GT210 is a very old, very basic and low end graphics card, don't expect to much gaming on that, especially for new, graphics demanding games.
Get at least a GT630 or GT640 for any gaming.
Best would be a GTX 650 Ti
