Mr.Mick, I would suggest you make your own PC.
Premade PCs usually have shity motherboards and PSUs (Power Supplies) and other components.
I suggest you get something like :
Intel Core 2 Duo E2160
Gigabyte P35-DS3
A-DATA Vitesta 2GB DDR2
Samsung 500GB HDD
Fortron BlueStorm 2 500W PSU or a Corsair 450W PSU
The Case isn't that important, but you need one with a front and back 120mm fan for good airflow.

450 WATT SILVER X-BLADE CASE
INTEL DUAL CORE E2180 @ 2.0 GHZ
2048 MB DDR2 MEMORY
250GB SATA 8MB CACHE HDD

Go for it... :wink:

That 450WATT Silver X-Blade Case is a piece of crap. The PSU probably will blow up in a couple of months.
Look how under 50$ PSUs perform :

Multiple things to consider..

I have never been a fan of pre-built machines.. They most likely went with close-out components..

What kind of motherboard is in that case???? Does it even have a PCIE slot so that you can use your current video card?

It's worth spending just a little more to get a quality machine.

You are kidding right? Where do did you buy your computer parts to make your computer cheaper than that $400 one with the same components. Is it from newegg or tigerdirect because i can't seem to find anything that is comparable to their prices unless it was on sale or ebay.
