its quite good for the price, only thing i would say is the intergrated graphics... maybe go for a PC with PCI-E.

That's actually a fairly good computer for the price. Although if you self built it, I think you could get it a little cheaper...

I've Thought about building one myself but i really would'nt have a clue where to start. And the 7600GS 256MB discrete memory, is it powerful enough to run moden games on it ? Example: Command and Conquer 3 and UT3 when it's released ?

they wont run on high but maybe med if your lucky, not ure about UT3 because its not out yet. but if your want to carry on runing the latest games your going to have to go DX10 maybe wait for the cheaper DX10 cards to come out then upgrade (8600 is out soon .).

tooThis is actually quite a good deal. I'd go for it if i were you. You can always upgrade your graphics later if you need too.

Yep, like david just said i could always upgrade the graphics later if i wanted too. I'm not bothered at running games at max setting i'd be happy to run at medium or even the lowest setting aslong as the games run smooth
