Answer is simple , your onboard graphics does not support shader model 3.0 etc and therefore you wont be able to play most of todays games . Older games like like pop etc require only shader model 2.0 or even less . You will have to buy a new graphics card to play the latest games . Rest of the hardware looks good .
