I just bought an Internal HDD and got an external enclosure. It was much cheaper than just buying an external 500gb HDD.

This would be your limiting factor.
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
I doubt you'll be able to play the latest and greatest games with this graphics card.

My laptop is a cyberpower and I love it. My PC that I am currently runniung was ordered mostly from cyberpower but built myself I had them send me the parts, Other parts came from tht computer show.

Rick you'll be able to play some games not a lot of them. THe video accelerator is not really made for gaming.
