it's in swedish, but I'm pretty sure you can figure out the specs.
so I made a calculation, and buying the computer together with a hard drive upgrade and windows 7 costs about $909. Is it worth it?
also,

since it's a 1tb hard drive I don't need an upgrade, so computer + windows 7 totals about $1033
is that better?

i could make a way better computer for $900
the athlon ii isn't that good of a processor series

Not bad, might be slightly a bit overpriced and I would recommend building your own computer but it's a decent deal.
But due note that tri core processors are defective quad cores. I have one on my laptop and it hasn't given me issues yet so I don't think it'll be an issue.

they're just not fast enough to meet AMD's standards for the quad cores, so they deactivate one core and sell them as tri cores. they're not defective. and it IS perfectly possible to have 3 cores on a die, the xbox360's processor has 3 cores on the die.
