Pretty bad for the price IMO. 1600MHz RAM would have been better and should have been exactly the same price, the GPU is overpriced compared to ATI's offerings, Blu-Ray is useless on computers right now, the 32 bit OS can only use 3GB of the RAM, and the PSU, which is underpowered for an i7 rig anyway, is one of those bundled Cooler Master POS's. The monitor and warranty could be much better as well.

OS - Get 64bit
PSU - What brand is it?
It is a good gaming machine.
What currency are you in? It looks expenisve. This machine should be around $1300 - 1400 if you build it yourself
 
not a bad machine considering. why don't you try using XP Pro as the OS. maybe it would be a little less demanding on your system rather than windows7 ?!

terrible idea

XP is two generations old. Windows 7 is much more stable and secure, has better technologies, and supports the newest gaming-related software. XP is only marginally faster.
 
Like above,

Get W7 64bit
What PSU and what MOBO?

I would want a little more GPU if it was for gaming and the price is so so.

If this is for gaming ask how much to upgrade to a 5850 GPU, should be about $100 over that gtx260.

That second build posted looks really good. Love the GPU, PSU, CPU, and MOBO. Good find!
