    Hmm.
    Processors..well most people prefer AMD now-a-days...AMD = Gaming. Intel = media (music/video work)
    Ram is good
    HD is good, but another one for backup work might be good.
    DVD drive is good
    Graphics card is...eh..its not the best for big gaming but Its decent.
    The rest is good..

    Now is it good for the price? Matters how much that is in american money..

    Whats your system to be used for. He is a setup for moderate gaming aswell as everything else.

    AMD 64 3200+
    ASRock Dual-SATA2
    1024MB DDR RAM
    160GB WD SATA HD
    Benq DW-1640
    Connect3D x800GTO
    Microsoft Windows XP Pro
    17" TFT Flat Panel Monitor

    What you have looks like a pre-built pc. Its not very good and it looks like a bit of a rip off. Its cheaper to build your own and its easy to, you can just follow video tutorials on the internet from site such as amd.com.

    I agree, AMD = awesome Intel = frisbee
    Still, 3Ghz so you can at least play some decent games.

    intel=hot plate on a stove

    intel dominate nothing in the cpu market anymore except for heat and crappyness. However I doubt we will see the same from their next generation, I feel they will get their act together because they never though amd would become this good.
