Hi. Seeing as how you said it was 267, you didn't mention which currency, USD, Canadian Dollors, British Pounds, or Euros. I can say this, it does seem to have a good upgrade path, so may be worth it.

Euros

Btw i think the power supply is 460 watt

OK. That is about $363 USD. Not too bad and as I said, you have a good upgrade path, or so it would seem, such as move to an i5 later on. There is no 1400 Mhz Memory, unless it is 1333 Mhz that has been OC'd. It goes from 1333Mhz to 1600 Mhz. That would depend on the Motherboard and what it supports.

The thing I'm scared off if it bluescreens etc and doesnt work

If it is running now then you should be fine as long as you get the recovery disks for it if it was a prebuild, If not then you would need to get the Operating System Installation disk. If it is Windows 7, then it has a pretty good library of drivers and you can update them from the various Manufacture's sites.
