It's actually cheaper than yours without the mail-in rebates. Better CPU, GPU is 50% stronger in benchmarks. I did go with a case with a built in power supply to save money though. (Not recommended in my opinion to do so unless you don't plan to upgrade) Could've easily stuck with your RAM and saved $3, but Kingston compatibility issue with voltage.

There is nothing wrong with that pc. Maybe this guy has better things to do with his time and money than build some super gaming machine. For is stated purpose that would be just fine. He could probably do a little better in the price performance area, but for 720p, which is what he says he wants/needs that will do just fine. No everybody cares about having the most up to date specs
