Im skeptical about the specs... it seems a bit shit for it's price. Whats with the X1300 GPU? It wont get you anywhere, as well as the Motherboard.

Id build my own PC if i were you

INTEL Pentium D: that right there=hell no, a damned semperon64 is a better buy even a 128k cache one.

build your own, you can get an x2 3600+ in au with a nice board+ddr2ram+hdd+decent video card+the rest cheaper.

do not buy pentium-d or p4, they are based on nutbust core, VERY inefficent designs.


my advice is as stated above, look for a decent am2 motherboard, grab an x2 3600+, grab a nice 2gb ram kit, hdd, burner, and a decent video card.
