It's not 'hardcore', but it'll run most of the games out on the market today without any problems.

For $520 if it works it's a steal. Assuming it comes with everything in the picture it has a nice case, and what appears to be a pretty good Zalman heatsink. Quite good for the price.

You would probably need a better processor.

Its not really hardcore or high end at this point, but I'd say its good for that price. Its a like below average gaming computer. If there is nothing wrong with it, and the specs are exactly the way it is, then get it, and get a better graphics card for it a 9800GTX preferably maybe some more ram, and a X64 processor.

It's a Q6600 Processor, 2GB of RAM, 8800GT with 1.2GB of memory. It's alllllllllllright.

Isn't that only 2gigs RAM? I've heard of computers going up to 8gigs.

hev3nly : You would probably need a better processor. For what?

Buy it and upgrade the ram <3

For $520, it's worth it. But looks like he wasted 1.2k on that thing, he got ripped.

hev3nly : You would probably need a better processor. The Q6600 is a pretty decent CPU already. You can always overclock it a bit higher if you want to anyways.

I'm pretty sure 2 8800GT's > 9800GTX, let alone that he already has the 8800GT's. Also, the Q6600 is an x64 processor. @Nvidia: By the sounds of it he built it probably when 8800's were top of the market, and stuff was much more expensive.
