any computer that anyone buys will be outdated in a few months no matter when it was bought. so, if those are the specs you wanted at the price you were comfortable with then go for it.

look at what's being sold on atfs first.

Ditch the Hitachi hard drive... everything else looks good...

Get a Seagate or Western Digital instead

i can't imagine paying over $500 for a computer these days.

 

[tbike06]

Please ditch that power supply STAT!

 

[uhohs]

get a seagate 7200.10 320gb for ~90-100.
i think you can get that card for cheaper, or wait for a hotdeal for a ~$200 card.


GET A POWERSUPPLY THAT WON'T EXPLODE AND BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE.
