Where are you buying from?

Overall the system is VERY weak. $500 could do LOTS better. The FX5200 is outdated like hell.

yeah that would be cool.. could you specify the part instead of just putting the modle down.. so i know what i have.. like say graphic card: then w/e you think should be good.. i could use onboard sound for now and even graphics.. aslong as it has a slot for me to put better ones down the road
