Its an excellent deal except for the graphics, if you arnt going to play any games, it would be a very nice system, but before you buy it i would make sure it has either an AGP or PCI-E slot.

Yea its decent but as geoff5093 said the graphics could use improving. As he suggested, if your into playing games then make sure it has at least an AGP slot and even better PCI-Express.
