Well you haven't even said what you want the computer for, gaming? For $400 they have to be cutting corners in quality of the components. Does't it come with a warranty?

------------------------------ Intel C2D E6600 @ 3.2GHz * Asus P5E * 2x1 GB Crucial Ballistix Tracers * Raptor X * EVGA Geforce 8800GTX 768MB 651MHz/1525MHz/2100MHz * X-FI Fatal1ty Pro * Enermax Infiniti 720W PSU * Creative THX5.1 * Tuniq Tower 120
Silverstone TJ09 * Windows XP

I'm gonna have to say no. The MB is an old 945 chipset, I'm amazed it even recognizes the CPU! The CPU is fine. RAM is cheap. HDD is TOO small! You could do better building your own for less.

Give us an idea what you want the pooter for and we will assist you.

work?
light gaming?
heavy gaming?
general purpose?
htpc?
for the kids?

what extras?

Depending on what you want and where you live there are plenty of bargains.

"Video:Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950" means the graphics are built into the chipset - no graphics card. That will give you decent 2D performance and rudimentary 3D performance. It's not suitable for heavy gaming and probably not for multimedia or htpc.

basically, you can ignore the "video" its isn't worth the silicon.... (well, ok, it can display windows....)
