I assume that pretty much anything could be upgraded if necessary? You're saying the GPU could be swapped out. Power supply as well if necessary? Throw a SSD in there eventually...?
I'm sorry - I haven't built anything with computers going on years now. I'm like my 1998 self again.

Yeah, I'll likely get a headset. I don't know how team/squad based people get on there, but I definitely remember using a headset on Counter Strike back in the day. Very fun for serious gameplay with clans.
I just got shipping confirmation.
I look forward to revving it up in a week or so and putting it through its paces with BF3. It seems that the included GPU can run it on toned down settings. I'll look to get a more serious GPU and will definitely be anxious to see if this can touch the ultra settings or at least get close so I get some of the visual richness of these current games. It seems the CPU isn't a beast from some of the reading I've done, but it ought to be able to hold its own.
Meh. I'm gonna need a much stronger GPU. I can run BF3, but it feels like I have to drop the resolution and run low settings just to be "smooth." The piddly card that came with this machine is pretty underpowered....as somewhat expected.
I hope a killer card can change that dramatically.
