Heavy games' minimum requirement are:

1GB RAM
10GB hard disk
256MB graphic/video card
XP Professional 32bit

and by looking at specification, that computer is more than capable. Have fun!

The E5800 is pretty much on par with my E8400 bench mark wise save the extra cache of the E8400.

Change the following

Power supply : 500w or better
Mid range graphics card of choice because the G 310 is pretty weak and will probably stutter if games are set to high.

Other than that for now @ least you should be fine the reason I say mid range graphics card is an uber expensive graphics card would probably be bottle necked by the E5800 making it pointless that and mid range is enough to play modern games @ decent settings.



G M Answered:
Ram is not the problem.4 GB ram is good enough to handle any game.But the problem is with the processor and graphics card.It has pentium E5800 dual core processor which has now become outdated.Most of the new games require core 2 duo or core 2 quad processor.But it can handle games like cod waw,cod 4 and mine craft.Now coming to the graphics.It is really poor card for gaming purpose.It can handle games like cod world at war but not cod black ops.Yes,it can easily handle minecraft.
