I'm thinking about getting this computer package

Tell me if this is worth it, I've never tried a Gateway, but I've heard that they're pretty good, so I've decided to give it a try. I think it's a pretty good deal, because it gives you a 19 inch LCD Widescreen and the computer has 2gb of ram, and a 320gb hard drive, and it uses AMD X2 4200+, so I think it's a pretty good deal.

What will you be using it for?

If you want to use it for games, it will suck because it has integrated graphics.

You can, but it might not work because of the power supply. Would you consider building your own PC?

No, because i've tried, because it takes too long, I might as well just go off and buy a new one that they made for me

a good.....

a good system for the money in my opinion for a proprietary build....should be good enough for most things except EXTREME gaming.......................I've played with that one in the store and it wasn't too bad for a non-custom build
