Yes,and I don't know why I wrote 19 inch,it's a 20 inch.
So I don't really know what you're talking about,the thing is,is the bleedin system good enough to RUN new games.

Won't run all games on max settings but you'll enjoy the gaming experience.
 
Solution
The system is not good enough to run new games . The graphics card is the gaming horsepower of a computer and that one you have included is too weak for anything more than basic performance . The pixel count is important because each pixel has to be calculated by the graphics card . More pixels = more work , or lower details and frame rates .
1080p is beyond the capabilities of that graphics processor unless you want to play at very low details and have lots of slow downs
