Hey people...I'm plannin to buy a Dell Inspiron 1420 with these specs. They fit my budget just right. I just need some advice about the choice of specs I have chosen. I plan to do some photoshop, video/sound editing and producing, some moderate gaming(yesteryear games and new and upcoming games at lower settings,i dont mind) and of course the usual basics(email,surfing and documents).


Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7250
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - with AERO experience
2GB (2 X 1024MB) 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
120GB SATA Hard Drive
Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive with dual layer write capabilities
NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400M GS with 128MB GDDR3 dedicated graphic memory

The rest of the details were all default and unchanged so i figure dont need to put it all here. The question of gaming is subjective so I'd also like to know if my processor upgrade from the T5450 is worth the upgrade since I am going to do the above.And will this gpu last me for the next 2 years at least?

With the above specs;
What kind of gaming can i do?
How will it fare with new and upcoming games?
And is upgrading from T5450 to T7250 really worth it for those usage?
