It looks fantastic to me. The specs are great. But its one of those miniature computers that usually don't perform as well. What do you think about this one?

In terms of gaming, that PC is a pile of garbage. GeForce 8200 is integrated graphics, and it even says so in the specs. If you were using that as a general PC for schoolwork, office work, internet browsing, etc., it has good specs, but the gaming aspect of it is a big no.

For that price, get a e7300, 2gb ram, and a 9600GT or for a little cheaper a raeon 4670

The Video card was the primary problem. You are going to want to look for something that has something like these specs.

You may want a larger hard drive, and look for something that is actually has similar specs for a lesser price. A better video card will also help.

a pc with an intel core 2 duo, around 2.66ghz or more id look for, and erm yeah decent card like what the above poster said, you can upgrade it later. newegg might have some ok systems, 4gb ram if ur on vista any version, hard drive is upto you, but western digital are best at the moment. motherboards made by asus are good, p45 chipset.

just remembered this site

http://store.buydirectpc.com/controler.jsp?trx=ProductBrowse&id=GI-780-SLI&mode=highlights&from=session

pick either intel computers or gaming, and pick one, then customize by doing this you can choose lower priced stuff and reduce the price of them, dont be put off by their price initially.

I second that. I ordered each component to build myself and you will save a couple hundred building it yourself.
