Doesn't come w/monitor, cheap under powered RAM, cheap mobo, cheap case & PSU, bad sound, cheap spkrs & etc.

All you got is a good CPU. Everything else is cheap under powered shit that will suck the life & capability of that good CPU.

Yes, what is so great about the computer. It is terribly overpriced. How do you think 256 mb of ram is good? Does it even say how much the graphics card is? Terrible computer, i saw a sweet one at Staples, 120 GB hdd, P4, 64mb graphics, 512 ram up to 1gb, 2 PCI slots, usb, pci. Monitor included. And it was on sale for 400$.

ya, it does, it's a radeon 7500...POS card, if u are wondering about memory on the card, it's most likely 64mb, could be 128mb but i highly doubt it, even if it was the card would probably be slower with the more memory anyway...

yes it will definately play all of them very well.

might wanna consider buying a better video card, if you like gaming... The 5200 is a low-end card.

Abe you still got a shitty PSU. Listen to clocker don&#39;t go cheapo on a PSU.

Correct me if I&#39;m wrong but the RAM is noname also.

Cheap spkrs also.

[Abe]

oh.............. ATI better for amd or geforce

WHAT&#33;? I thought the psu was very good&#33;

[clocker]

Abe,

Why the high end CPU?
Not planning on clocking the rig?

In any event I would replace the WD HDD unit with a Seagate, even if you you must spend more. The Seagate is MUCH quieter.

The PSU does look a bit dodgy.
It is bundled with the case...both for &#036;30, how good could it really be? That claimed 400w output only happens when both you AND it are dreaming.
You&#39;ll have to do better.
Big July 4th sales coming up, shouldn&#39;t be hard to find a name brand unit for a good price.
