it may but the gpu is integrated so graphics would have to be on low , i dont game with pc yet but crysis looks promising so wait to see what others say

so can c521 play 3d games?

It will be limited. I played games on my laptop with integrated graphics on medium settings ok, but if you want to play something more graphics intensive, it won't even work on low settings.

I hate this! Computers that i like are too expensive! Computers that are too cheap really suks. I'm gonna build my own computer. I tried once, but after looking online and adding up the prices of a basic PC, the price was UTRA HIGH. Can anyone tell me some good sites for cheap computer parts in vancouver Canada? And do i need some special experience to build a computer?

I do know you will need a better wattage power supply to use that video card in the system... Other than that, I don't know a bunch about all the newest technologies and which ones are the best...

EDIT: I have 2 ASRock boards and have had no problems with either of them, so IMO ASRock is not a bad choice.

i just skimmed it over and that looks great, save a lot of money when you build yourself one if you plan on running vista you might wanna get 2gb of ram for games and such, but otherwise good choosin!
