Depends what you want to do with it, if it's for standard web browsing and low end workstation stuff then it's not too bad. It's not going to be any good for games though.

Yeah ther's nothing really mind blowing about that pc, but for about 500 bucks, what can one really expect. And really, like the previous poster said, it all depends on what you are going to be doing with this pc. If you are going to be gaming, I'd suggest building your own.

you can do better for $500, easily.

this $470 combo will perform better at everything, including games:
