@Bl4ckDiam0nd: Its worth it as in you probably couldn't buy comparable parts new right now for the same price, but I wouldnt say hes cutting you much of a deal.
@Bl4ckDiam0nd: Just as an aside, since you're asking here it doesn't seem like you know your parts or fiddle with the insides of PCs very often. So the fact that it's all put together and working already is worth something as well. I don't know what price I would put on skipping the heart-stopping feeling you get when your PC doesn't start up when you flip the switch for the first time. :)

Oh yeah it'll game fine, the video card is still decent (I mean you wont be playing the witcher 2 on max settings or anything) but its going to play games like say diablo 3 on max no doubt. your major benfit here is its ddr3 so you could upgrade to 8 even 16GB of ram for like $100. really your only significant crappy part is that its an amd x3 cpu and not an intel system, but for gaming the video card will do most of the leg work anyways.
