Is this a good computer?

Solution
Your "Good" is very broad...what are you expecting to do? If watching youtube, movies, and just browsing the web...sure this build is good for that. But if you want to use any high performance applications, then you will definitely need an aftermarket graphics card.

The processor is a bit of overkill for surfing the web, watching youtube and powerpoint/word.....You can get some serious bang for your buck using an AMD 8320 with an inexpensive GPU or a Core I-5 using the intel graphics.....

dude if you're planning to do just that then all of the rigs people told you here are overkill and built the wrong way, if you want your pc to surf the net then this is the best you can choose: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mNjxTW
