actully not to bad of a system ...

I usually price systems at NewEgg. They are cheap and are pretty good ! If i was to make a cheap system I would go with an AMD processor. AMD is typically cheaper and beter quality for the price.

Newegg is great. I bought everything for my home build from them and have had no problems. ( see my sig)

I was on a budget and got my build done for under 400.00...

If you can get thru the rebate game at Tiger Direct you can get a slightly better computer kit than newegg offers in parts. I just got so tired of the Tigerdirect rebate game that i usually don't bother anymore. It can save you $100-150 over newegg, tho.

For instance, find a better deal on a AMD 4000 system than this from a reliable source.

Or if you like intel kits, try this.
