im asumming that the mobo is a nForce 4?
at that price i would think the video card to be a bit more 'flashy' . like a 6600 or even a 6800
other wise i think its about right.

As far as I can tell the graphics are on -board ,


"However the on board Nvidia GeForce 256Mb 6100 GPU will give you plenty off time until you get a proper additional PCI-E 16x Graphics Card... the advantages are above, but you will also get back an extra 256Mb of system memory that the on board GPU takes from you 1GB DDR2 RAM, so I thought it was important for you to know that".

Was looking at it for a friend , seemed pretty good value for what you get . Its a MSI MCP61SM mobo which I think is an Acer oem board and I can't seem to find any more info than that about it .
Was half thinking of buying it and replacing the one I've just built .
