Is this computer worth the price tag?

It's tough when they don't tell you how good of a PSU you're getting. They don't give you much to go on with the MoBo either. I'm guessing that there are plenty of people here who could give you the parts list to build a better RIG for that price.
 
Thoughts:

I don't recognize th logo on the PSU. Even if it's an off-brand, though, it should handle that system just fine.

The video card has a red PCB and only 512MB, which I believe makes it a Powercolor...not the greatest, but at least it has solid caps.

The motherboard doesn't have solid caps anywhere but in the power section, which isn't typically a good thing, but it's an Asus, so those are probably still Japanese caps at least. It's an old 780L chipset though...nothing fancy about it.

Best I can tell, the hard drive is a Hitachi. Seeing WD, Seagate, or Samsung there would be ideal...

It's a fairly well-balanced system, but if it wasn't for Windows being included, I think you could do better for the price. Are you by chance in college?
