i got this quote from a local pc repair/custom system place and just wanted a few opinions on wether this was a decent set up for the money. i realise its hard to build a decent gaming pc for under 1k but i just want to make sure this is par for the course as im not 100% sure what im looking at.

Ask them to put a better power supply. You will be having shutdown problems with it.

To go for such a crappy graphics card, it's best to leave it out and simply use the onboard one, or go for an AMD APU instead.
