The HD 5750 is a fine GPU if you don't want to run games at very high resolutions.

Just out of curiousity, how does that compare to the 4650...because a 1gb 4650 works perfectly fine on medium-high settings on games with a 1920x1080 resolution.  I know this isn't extreme graphics or anything, but some of you are acting like it is only a half ass card, when that isn't true at all.

Tomshardware regularly publishes a list of GPUs sorted by how powerful they are, that's a very good way to answer most of these questions.

Here is the April 2011 list:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card-radeon-hd-6990-geforce-gtx-590,2912-7.html

The list says, "I don’t recommend upgrading your graphics card unless the replacement card is at least three tiers higher."

By this standard, the HD 5750 is significantly more powerful than the 4650, being six tiers higher.

If you weren't such a troll, I might believe you. But what should I expect from someone that buys 3rd party videogame controllers? And a Radeon HD 5750 is a great graphics card, especially with a gig of dedicated memory. So until you actually have a well thought out post to share with us, I kindly ask you to be quiet.

What an ass.

Anyway great computer! I plan on getting a new one this fall but i can't decide on a quad core Phenom II or Athlon II. What do you recommend? Also, is the X6 worth it over X4?

Thats hell of a good deal. =P

I see that you are willing to accept not so well thought posts if they are positive about your purchase.

2.6hgz processor is slow for games and you don't need 6 cores for virtually any games now and for a long time.

5750 is not a good gpu. With 1440x900 resolution, you won't get any advantage over the 512mb model. For higher resolutions, 5750 is way too slow. Even with 1440x900, you will not get 75(your likely refresh rate?) fps for any modern games.

Also you paid waaaayyy too much for that package. I think you just bought a prebuild acer or something.

You could have had a 3.5ghz quad core, 8gb 1333mhz ram, 2tb HDD, GF 560ti  and a good case/power ( oem W7 home)  for the money you spent on that.
