Looks OK from here though a couple of suggestions.

1/. If you do go for it, I'd suggest upping the RAM a tad. Windows 7 takes 1Gb to run comfortably and most of the big games require a lot of RAM so the more you have available the better.

2/. Try and look around for one that doesn't have integrated graphics. If the graphics card fails on a computer with that kind of graphics card it's a whole new motherboard which can be costly.

And a question:

What GHz was the processor on that one?

I'm sorry, but that is the worse configuration you can have. The processor at 900mhz is about 1/4 of the power of processors today and of 2 years ago. The graphics card is also a major letdown; I had one on my laptop with double that processor speed and it was horrible.
Whats your budget?

and also what sort of games are we looking at?

£900 could get you a well spec'd made-for-gaming PC. Shop around.

nothing can play FSX properly, not even my rig, fs2004 is as good if not better. are you comfortable with building your own pc? it isn't difficult and you get the hang of things quickly

[iranair747]

here you go. its prebuilt and just add a GTX460 onto it and its around the same par as my pc. a little high at £945 but it'll last. I've been using my i7 system for about 3 years now and no problems at all except for the usual pickup of dust which I cleaned out a while back

do you have a OS? if not you'll have to add it on
