1. yes, for what you want to use your computer for these specs are fine if not excellent. I would suggest a better power supply and graphics card though. 375 watts is ok only if it is a good power supply =, but for what you want you will be possibly hurting your comp. with a bad power supply. Get something around 600 watts if that is an option. They are very cheap so get a rather good one. your comp. might not last as long without a good one. For the graphics card you will want one with much more memory, a 1000mb (or gig) is good so trust me on that one. Either wise your good.
2. Depends on the price. That GPU sucks. Build your own.
