So I need a new computer and was considering building my own.  However I find building rather tedious and don't really care all that much for it. 

I found this bundle deal that actually looks really really good for me and wanted to get some opinions to see if I'm missing anything.  

 Bundle Cost: $870

Includes: Desktop, 22 inch widescreen LCD, 3 in 1 printer.

Now before people mention this, I know the graphics card is crappy but I am going to wait for the new cards to drop a bit in price before I get them so I'm fine with it. 

My biggest question is whether the 64 bit process is a problem.  I've seen some performance benchmarks which said this was good, but not great and was only overclockable to ~3.2 ghz.  Are there any compatibility issues for the 64 bit vs the standard 32 bit programs? 

Since the monitor standalone would cost ~$220 at least on Newegg, this makes it a ~$650 computer which looks pretty decent to me.

Stats on desktop:

• Processor   AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2
• Processor Speed  3.0GHz
• System Bus   2000MHz
• System Memory (RAM) 3GB    PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 
• Hard Drive Size  640GB (320GB x 2)
• Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE, 128 MB
• Also comes with a TV tuner card, and a double layer DVD/CD burner

Monitor:   

• 5 ms response time
• 700:1 contrast ratio; 280 cd/m² brightness
• 1680 x 1050 maximum resolution; 170° horizontal and 160° vertical viewing angles

 I don't really care for the printer at all.

Opinions? 

Option 1:
You would probably be better off with a lower processor speed, either an amd 780g or some cheap graphics card than to have a faster CPU. It can also play HD movies with the decoder on board and possibly HDMI if you want a Home theatre type things as well.

Option 2:
If you're doing encoding go QUAD, I can't stress this enough. It would be much better for you. Since I can see you have a tv tuner card. A cheap phenom with a 780g would be really good, as it's the cheapest quad core. Just make sure you get the xx50 models.

Honestly depends what you are doing with it. If it's for gaming it's going to need some changes. If it's for everyday use and stuff it's a good deal.

Since your on here the answer to that is probably gaming. For the money still not a bad deal just do what you said and toss in a new card either the 8800GT or new 9800 GTX(I believe it's a shade under 300) should improve things greatly.

honestly if you can build your PC, it would be cheaper.

I priced an Antec Sonata 3 with 500w PSU (quiet)
Gigabyte 780g motherboard
4gb crucial ram
Vista OEM
5000+BE + fan
$450 after MIR
Thats with high quality components and gives you $200 more to spend on say a tv tuner+graphics card.

damnit forgot the HDD, add another $100

 Alternatively if quietness wasnt a concern and you were definately getting a graphics card you could drop $100 off between the Case and the Motherboard to go with something a little less techy. Alternatively if you have XP already you can keep that and save another $100 since you'd require less ram.

 I'm not in love with this PC bundle but its far far from the worst pre-built I've seen. 

It looks like you save about $100-$150 by building your own.  Honestly if you want a decent GPU that $100-$150 can get you something respectable that can play games fairly well.  Basically you would pay about the same amount and give up 2 hours one day to give your PC some gaming potential.

If I'm being honest, if you build your own I would dump one of the 320 drives since you likely won't need it and either pocket the cash or throw it towards your GPU.  If you throw it towards your GPU you can get an 8800GT 512MB or 9600GT 512MB which would make for a very nice system. 

It looks good but you may be able to find a better deal and building one may be cheaper as well.

Yeah I decided to forgo it since the store had ran out except for display model and I just have something against display models. Can always wait and see what comes by next or finally bother building my own.

Anyone know of any good sites discussing compatibility for building?
