    It's a good PC. I'm not sure about the price, because I don't know how much you would expect to pay in $'s.

    If you're not a gamer though, why bother with a gaming PC? The graphics card in that PC is way more than you need, and you could save some money and get a cheaper one, or get a faster CPU and better components...

    Yes I realise the price, what I meant is, I don't know if that's a good price in your currency. And I'm sorry I can't help you with the CPU, it was just a suggestion that maybe instead of spending so much on a graphics chip, the money could be used elsewhere.

    The problem with DDR3 is that is more expensive than DDR2, and also has much higher timings. I'd personally stick to DDR2, until really required (like when using the Intel i7).

    To be honest it's not that expensive anymore and DDR3 will be more future proof so soon or later everyone has to switch to it and that would add more cost on the long run so easier if you have it now.

    anyways it was just a thought
