nothing wrong with that.you might want to add more ram to 8gb.

How much does it cost ? The pc might not be worth it

I'll build one of these myself .
These are definetly worth 1000$ ( with no monitor , keyboard and mice )

even though you say to us that you dont want to build your own and not to say anything bad about your choices it still must be stated:

*the cheapest i saw on the walmart site was $465 base price for a build your own. you might want to list what the price was on the model you specced out. for about $500-600 its highly worthwhile to do it yourself as you can get some rather good parts for the money and its a well known fact that brands such as ibuypower, cyberpc and the rest use inferior parts wherever possible.

*ibuypower and other such prebuilt providers often cheap out wherever possible yet charge you full price. also any upgrade options they offer you are so overpriced (sometimes 2x the actual cost of the part) that its pretty silly to upgrade their models. customer support can also be lacking.

as far as if the hardware will do what you want it to do?

a fx6300 and hd7770 shouldnt have trouble with fallout3 or skyrim at 1600x900 although if you use the 3rd party texture pack you can download for skyrim performance may suffer a bit.

i'd get more than 4gb of ram though. go with two 4gb sticks and you will be fine.
