doesn't look all too bad, but you could probably find the same thing with a monitor for about the same price, I'd check your local paper to see what the electronics stores have with rebates for the week and find something similar, but it should be more than adequate to run the stuff you asked.
 
I wouldnt buy it:
1. You can possible build better for yourself
2. If not, their giving you some serious false advertising. There is no 3.0GHz AMD Athlon64 3500+ chip
 
Where were you going to buy it from? Also what do you plan to do with the machine and how much do you have to work with?
