Intel HD graphics 2000 performance

[AVSEQ]

Hi, my friend is going to buy a new system. He will use it for java programming, watching movies, listening music and playing games. He's aiming for Core i3 2100, which has Intel HD graphics 2000 integrated.
I would like to know if this integrated graphics is capable of playing 1080p videos and for playing modern games in medium quality.
Thanks.

modern games @ med - no

for playing games at HD resolution your friend better get a graphics card around 8-10k.
