Screw it I'm rich,
Yes I would buy it.
It isn't bad but it isn't great but I have money so who cares...


There are probably much better for that price as far as processing goes though.
An if I wanted I could probably just blow thousands on a supercomputer.

Imo, plunk down a bit more and get a faster processor and a dedicated Graphics card. It'll be worth it in the long run. Otherwise, looks good.

in that case go with a company like cyberpower since they warranty all customer part swaps/upgrades, and their tech support rocks!!!Yay

RE: Should i buy this PC?
in my experience Gateway are pretty good. at least a lot better than Dell.  

OFF TOPIC: (i had a dell blow up on me after installing a cd burner. i somehow  managed to simultaneously fry the CPU, MoBo and PSU. Dell support refused  to do anything about it  saying that end-user upgrades aren't covered by  the  warranty when it stated clearly in the manual that within certain limits (cd burners are allowed) they are. after a few weeks without a computer dell gave in and took the computer away to be fixed.)

ON TOPIC: looks good apart from the  graphics. also you may want to know that Phenom X3's are Phenom X4's that are faulty and had one of  their cores disabled. AMD make no attempt  to hide this  fact. I'm  not saying they're bad chips,  in fact better  than some of Intel's offerings at that price,  but you may want to bare that in mind...

Also, the hard drive  model isn't specified,  meaning  its probably  a  fairly cheap one. i know its not as major a component  as something like the CPU but it does have an impact on performance, especially loading times. theres nothing wrong with a cheap drive, even cheap ones nowadays last for yaers  without problems, but you may want a little more performance... you decide...
