Pros fast
Cons needs well thought-out cooling
Recommended it? Yes

Pros Cheap<br>Integrated Graphics<br>2.9 GHz clock
Cons Not as fast as the more expensive ones
Recommended it? Yes

I was anticipating the release of Skyrim, and as a newly converted PC gamer, I decided that this was going to be the best decision for me.
