Is this a good deal? Are all the parts of good quality? I've never bought my own computer so I had to do a ton of research.

I'm losing 45 dollars compared to buying the parts separately from sites like newegg and tigerdirect, I just have to add ram and gpu myself.

Its not bad, what exact model is that PSU?

Be aware thats a micro atx board i think, so make sure everything will fit.

Thanks for reply. I doesn't mention exact model unfortunately. I realized the mobo is micro ATX and it makes me concerned that my card might not fit...

OK, you said it was about $45 more. But why tho? Why not buy the parts and put it together? That $45 would come in pretty handy.
Is it for new parts?
Where would you get it from?
And the big determining factor imo is - does it come with Windows 7? If it doesn't, I'd go a different route.

hey check newegg computers, they had a prebuilt that i looked at and was cheaper to buy prebuilt and had an i3 and all, and was less, so you could go and get a new psu and gpu and was in a decent case.
