Wow that is fail, the guy says it's 5.0ghz because it's 2.5ghz dual-core. Ummm there's also slow ram and a mid-low ranged video card in there. No, that's not worth it. Please do yourself a favour and build your own pc via ordering seperate parts. You'll save bundles and get a lot of power out of your pc.

Doesn't show what GFX card it has...

...Simply from that, I'd be careful unless you're willing to spend another $100-$300 U.S. Dollars.

Hm... on second thought, that's an ok deal, so long as you get a new GFX card if there isn't one in it.

Ummm actually it does say what gfx card it does have in it. You obviously didn't read. No it's not a good deal. Read all the details the seller provided.

Also, there lies these questions:

Is there an OS preinstalled?

Does it have a decent PSU?

Try and ask him about these parts first.

I was kinda hesitant at building at first, it's really easy with the use of manuals and such. I have a bad feeling about this pc though. He doesn't list many of the components that are very important and he obviously doesn't know jack if he thinks dual core 2.5ghz = 5ghz. Please just build a pc :)
