    It's ok but I hope you don't play on using it for gaming. 1.6ghz processor is meh. Browsing the Internet/playing runescape or lower end games should be good.

    HP isn't fantastic, something like Dell or ASUS is a lot more reliable. If you're only going to do be doing normal tasks and not high end gaming then you should be fine. Stuff like web browsing and word processing and such you should have no problems with.

    You got swindled for double the price. Those parts/computer can be built for a measly $250 range. Next time you can afford it build your own and ask for help in this section.
