I know building your own computer is the way to go these days but I can't bring myself to do so.

Thanks!

That will be more than enough for what you're wanting to do.

And at $600, it's not a bad PC either. What else does it come with?

It comes with a Keyboard and mouse. We will purchase a HP 2009m 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor from them to match the computer, and the monitor is on sale at $139.99

I assume it only has the built in Intel GMA X4500 graphics?

I believe so.
