Wrong section, this should be in OT or maybe even spam forum. Also, why did you copy and paste it? Just type out the important specs..

It's not too bad though, it depends what you're paying for it. The processor is OK, the RAM is good but the graphics card lacks quite a bit.. What's the price?

 

Moved to Off topic- Sorry if it's still in the wrong section though!

 

[hey guys]

Compared to some other PC's nowadays. I'd say its decent. not bad, not good.

 

[angus07]

sounds pretty sweet to me

Computers are increasing so quickly now in quality.
About a year ago a really good computer had 300gb hard drive.
Now you have 750gb =0

Pretty good, but I got my new one for the same price and it has 2gb more ram, faster processor. But it came with a 22" LCD monitor but not a printerr.

I've never been a fan of AMD's, and the processor could be better.
Your RAM is alright, considering you're around where most people are, but there is a huge difference if you were to double it.
How many RPM is your hard drive?
No reason to only get a 750 GB HD since storage is like a dime a dozen now and you can get the new 3TB bootable drive from Western Digital for around $220. If you want speed though, consider adding a smaller SSD to boot from and use the 750GB as your data drive.
I don't know too much about graphics cards though considering I usually just go to my local Tiger Direct and buy whatever's the most expensive on the shelf.

IF I were you, I'd wait till after the new year when all the new fancy hardware comes out since right now people are just trying to sell the remainder of last years hardware before the holidays are done.
