I don't plan on spending too much, this costs around $900.
Any suggestions would be awesome.
This is just a stater comp, and i possibly will upgrade from this.

Thanks

Pretty killer "starter" computer.

I'd try to find a better brand name graphics card is about all. :good:

Hahaha Thanks,
Can you suggest a better graphics card without a massive leap in price, im not to sure of good ones.

Is everything compatible? Do you know?

as far as i can see, everything seems to be compatible.

I never heard of gainward. I would go with this one:

I trust EVGA and it has better core clock then the gainward 450gts

at only 45$ more (is that a hugh leap?) this is a much better investment

unless you plan to get a GTX580 or something.
here are some tastings

The processor will come with a cooler, as long as it's a retail version.
(not open box or OEM)

Unless you plan to overclock, the stock cooler will be fine.
