~$583. Including rebates.

This is a great current gaming machine and has HUGE updatability. The motherboard is compatible with AMDs new Bulldozer CPU platform coming out in the next month or so (Don't know when exactly, they delay it lots, lol) so when they come down in price a bit, and you run into some more money, you could just chuck one of those in. They won't be that expensive. The current CPU in it is great too though.

And when you get more money you may wish to upgrade the GPU.

A redundant feature of the forums was to hide your online status but it doesn't work.
You just appear italicized.

7/10 a decent computer that is 2/3x better than my computer, windows 7 64 bit is really good, your cpu is GREAT, 4 CPUs is really good but the speed is kinda low only 2.3 GHz, I used to have a 3.00 Ghz dual core CPU, but its still good nonetheless. 4GB of ram is AWESOME, I only have 2GB of ram. Your graphics card isn't the latest and best thing out there but its WAY better than most intergrated graphic cards people get nowadays, 1902 MB is REALLY GOOD! It should run most games from medium to high settings and it should run most new graphic heavy games from low to medium settings.

4.5/10 windows 7 64 bit is really good, the cpu is not good, its only 1 CPU with 1.7 GHZ, I have a better CPU than you. The ram is as good as mine but the graphics card isn't that great, its a intergrated graphics card, don't expect your PC to run most new games on great settings. It should run most games from low to medium settings and it should run most new graphic heavy games at minuium to low settings.

1. His CPU quite honestly sucks. It's a first generation Phenom, the architecture sucks. It's not even comparable to the earlier Core2Duos. They really forgeted up with those first Phenoms.
2. The 9200 sucks ass. It's a low-end card from many years ago. He'd be lucky to even launch recent games.
3. The 4250 is better than the 9200. Approximately 2.5 times better.
Also it's newer so will support more.

Bad GPU.

Photoshop + Illustrator

Specifically mesh gradients, normal gradients, brush tools, and some basic filters and overlays.
