You can't say anything about the gfx card. All PCIe graphic slots are x16, this is just refering to the number of lines. Other PCIe cards don't have x16, but all graphic card slots do have. But since they don't mention the chipset of the card, it can't be too good. Try to get more info on the graphics card.
This just reads like the recent offer from Aldi in Germany, is this pc build by medion?

Yes it is a medion computer.. And I cant get more info on the graphic card due to a error on the medion web site..
Only info I can get is from www.aldi.co.uk

It sure looks exactly like the offer from Aldi in Germany. In this case, i have a review of the pc with some benchies (sorry only in german):

This pc had a card from Nvidia called Nvidia GeForce 6610 XL in it. It was custom build for medion, the price in Germany was 999 euro, so i guess it is the same pc. Check in the store if the pc has a scart connector, because the model sold in germany had one and that's rather rare for pc graphic cards.

hmm! is pent $3500 on my rig an i got exaktly what i wanted, but this is a good deal. U get a nice rig cheap an that's good. But what if u want to uppgrade and so on, these " brand comps" are usually horrible to tweak and i just think u should think about that so you dont "lock" yourself in!
