Looking to buy prebuilt computer from Newegg, will this work for gaming?

I am looking for a desktop computer for some gaming. Doesn't have to be incredibly good graphics and speed, but I think what I picked out is good.

I had the 'CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2198' in mind.

Now I understand there are some problems with CyberPowerPC power supplies, and the graphics card is not very good either.

I selected these two to compensate:

-902MHz, CUDA Cores 384, Memory Clock 5000MHz, Memory Size 2GB, 64-Bit, GDDR5

Is this a good setup for some moderate to heavy gaming? If not, please push me in the right direction.

Thanks!

That PSU is a real lightweight and if you want to do real gaming the video card is way below what you will need.

What kind of games do you want to run and what monitor(s) size and FPS would you like?

 

[ncore1995]

Game wise: BF3 and Kerbal Space Program. I would just use my mini hdmi tv as a monitor.

I was also thinking about building my own system.

Here is what I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ncore/saved/mLxRsY

Is it better than the prebuilt setup I was looking into?

If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

Also, do I need to buy any additional cables? Thanks

As far as memory, you want to get it in pairs as it is dual channel and operates faster in pairs.

Otherwise your parts look fine, and are at least as good if not better than the pre-built especially the video card and PSU. All the cables needed should come with the motherboard, except for a video cable as they usually come with the monitor.
