The integrated graphics performs really well. It definitely isn't the lame integrated graphics of old. It has dedicated faster memory on the board just for video and it shares RAM if the needs go beyond that. Plus if you need extra super duper graphics it has slots. It has plenty of SATA ports, built in firewire port in the rear and another header for a front one. It also has USB3 so it is a little future proof. It also has solid capacitors.
I installed 8 Gb of RAM on it and Win 7 64 bit.
