Well that one is better than the others you gave links to, with it being an intel Core 2 CPU rarther than an AMD, however like veryone said, it would be better, and cheaper to make your own.

Well, it it was your money. As thingie said, that computer you brought was an improvement on the others.

You asked for help, and we gave you our suggestions. The reason why we wouldn't suggest prebuilt computers, is because at the end of the day, if you want a decent gaming computer on a sensible budget you just can't get it one prebuilt.

Just don't come complaining to us that your computer doesn't game that well or you have 0 upgrade potential.

Wow much would Dell charge you for that exact machine? Ever hear of Dell.com?

I've just looked at the dell website, and that exact machine (atleast almost) costs $569, and something I've just noticed when specing that one up from dell, you have a graphics card that is good for nothing in that computer, so on that front it would be rubish for gaming.

Don't create a thread if you're not going to give any advice you get the light of day.

It's a waste of time for all involved.
