    Spec-wise, this machine looks good:

    P7350 2.0GHz (1066MHz FSB, 3MB cache)
    4GB PC2-6400 (800MHz DDR2)
    NVIDIA 9600M GT 512MB DDR2
    320GB 5400RPM Hard DRive
    15.4" 1280x800 LCD

    Would this suit my gaming needs (The Witcher, MAss Effect, Fallout 3, etc.)?

    This is the least expensive "gaming" machine that I've seen as of late.

    Yep. It's the best you can get for the amount you pay.
