Not a bad deal at all. The processor won't OC so well, but I'm assuming your not looking to do so.

I still like the 8800GT over the 9800 but you can't beat that price either. Thought I saw a better price on 4gb of ram though ahhh...nm mail in rebate and you picked the same kind.

Yeah, not too bad at all.

Get a e8400 and 2gb of ram and call it a day.

For the price, and coming with an OS its a good deal.

ahh, didn't see it was a complete rig. btw - if its not a 64 bit os, don't bother with the extra 4gb of ram.

I disagree. 32-bit will still "see" 3.25GB of ram. That is worth upgrading over 2GB especially running VISTA (which I would remove and put XP if it was me)

Will that ram I have listed fit into the ram slots on the rig? It says DDR2, but one says DIMM and the other says SDRAM //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Whats that? link ? price?

It's not going to be a great gaming rig. The GPU is gonna be bottle necked by the CPU so you will never see it's full potential, However it is by no means a rip off at that price.

Not really a fan of the X2's... lately AMD's been failing hardtime... Back in early 00's they were the best. Now C2D is over the rest.

But, I mean, if it's all a package, that's a really good deal.

I have an e8600 with 2 GB of Patriot and a 9800GTX and it's teh BOMBz.

I spent $650 bucks on a new motherboard processor, graphics card, RAM, and a PSU with a 52-amp 12 volt line. lolz. (It can power a sub.)

You will. But as I said, the AMD line hasn't been too good as of late.
