Intel G31PR Motherboard for gaming??

[mailliw]

One computer store suggest this for a gaming build;

Intel G31PR MotherBoard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU (this is a 3.0Ghz ,6mb cache CPU)
Kingston 4 GB DDR2 Ram
Black ATX Mid-TOwer Case
WD 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
Sony 3.5" FD
Sony/NEC Optical 20XSATA DVDRW Drive with software
Integrated Sound/video/LAN
MS XP Pro
Keyboard/mouse

My question is would this motherboard setup do extreme gaming. Or what games would it handle?
Thanks

you have not listed the graphics card, thats what is most important for your gaming quality!

i would not get that mobo, i would go with something from asus or gigabyte

then get a half decent graphics card-ati 4850 or nvidia 9800gt/gtx

Integrated Sound/video/LAN

that wont hardly be able play any games,to game decently you need a dedicated graphics card.

teh intergrated sound,and lan is fine its just those graphics.

whatever store told you thats a gaming system needs to do some homework

dont get me wrong,the rest of the system is decent for gaming.

you would be better off going Quad core.
