Buying a new computer

Dowly · 05-18-06, 06:30 AM

I finally got some extra money (not much, but some) and IÂ´m seeking for a new PC.

I have my eyes on one, that looks good for me. But I need your help, as I know almost nothing about computers and the components it has.

This is the one I was looking:

Shuttle SN25
nVIDIA nForce4 chipset
PCI-E
Firewire
Processor
AMD Athlon 64-bit 3500+ Boxed
RAM
1024MB (1GB) DDR 400MHz PC-3200
Hard disk
Western Digital Caviar SE 200GB SATA II 8.9ms 7200rpm
CD/DVD
LG GSA-4167RB 16X DVD+/-R/RW/Double Layer
Graphics
Connect3D Radeon X800GTO 256MB/DVI/ViVo PCI-e
Sound
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB

Total price: 1295.80â‚¬

Is it worth it? IÂ´m not seeking a 100000 fps on games. 30-50fps is fine for me.
