So yeah tell me what u think, total came out with about lil over 600, but i guess that will do, tell me what u think.
 
Not bad, if you like AMD(like me), and the price is not too bad. Of course your GFX card later could up that considerably! Others will prob comment also.
 
It seems like an integrated GPU, well the system isn't bad... but it seems like its a prebuilt one; I'd at least up the PSU in order to get one that will support the new GPU which you will eventually get. That way you save some money by paying once for it.

Of course you could also go for a Core 2 Duo system and I think u'd get about that price too.

This board don't have onboard video, as far as I remember
 
Just went with this one for now since i wont be using it ( im out of country right now). But as for the card, i went with a 8400 gs, for now, since this pc is going to be used at home and for internet,movies,downloading music. Though i thought about the 8600 gt, i was liek ill wait, the 8800 series looked good but a lil to much for me to much money for me and would have put to pass my the budget that i intended. So in total it came out to about 780, with tax and shipping.

What would you recommend with the next build, since this one had to be prebuild, do to my brother not have time to put it together and that he not to computer savey.
 
what od you mean you wont be using it now? when would you be using it, if its gonna be awhile i would wait until you plan on using it to build and buy
 
well ill use when im ever home but my family will be using it, it wont be just settlinh with the dust it will be used, but im ober here deployed to the middle east and stuff. But it will be used, because the old computer we had has gone out, and its and old pentium 4 1.5 g
 
If you tends to be use the PC for internet,movies,downloading music, go for ATI card. May be 2400XT
ATI usually have better quaility of colour. And 2400XT are HDCP ready, while 8400GS are not.
