What are you options? where is it coming from? There are alot of things i would change but im not sure were what your budget or what your available options are. If you build it yourself you will save money and get a better computer, its alot easier than most people think.

Also, you choose what you Want.

But for your question, that will be quite a Nice Gaming Machine.

One thing i am a little concerned about is the Lack of Ram.

That would be the No. 1 Thing i would try to get more of.

But other than that, Nice computer

I can buy it for 450.00 local I would upgrade the ram right away I just want something for my 10 year old son and I can play games on

That sounds like a good deal then, it would be a decent gaming computer. I would get a set of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 2x1gb set of ram. But what it comes with is a good price..
