The Proccessor is pretty good/decent

The MOBO is decent

R.A.M. is a little slow, despite there being 4 gigs

Video card sucks

Standard/Big hard drive

I don't know much about CD Drives, but x18 seems slow

Good case

PSU might be cheap/poor quality, and It doesn't leave much room for upgrading (kinda low wattage)



I just did a newegg check on all those items, and came up with an equivalent/better comp for about 500$. If having it prebuilt is worth 170$, then buy it. I wouldn't.

Don't use the power supply that comes with cases; they are super low quality.
IMO, i would ditch the 8500gt and get a ati 3850 instead. It is a few more dollars, but it offers way more gaming capabilities. The ram is a little over the top for that setup, but more is always better.
The 8500gt is not a gaming card at all. Sure it will handle WoW, but newer games it wont play, maybe on low. I would just save and get the ati 3850, you will be much happier with it.

Intel CPU's are priced pretty good...you can build a much better intel system for the same amount of money.
