No.

Geil is extremely cheap, having 4 gb of those is not impressive. They also tend to not run properly below 2.0v. Don't reset your bios ever the unless you know how to change it.

A AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is ancient in pc terms.

Keyboard is ok, mouse sucks balls if you want some serious gaming.

8600 GT, wtf? Low end card for such a price?

I suggest taking your money, look for an online store and put a pc together yourself. If you can plug in cables, read a manual and put a few screws into a case it's the way cheaper solution.

Short summary, that pc sucks.

Now, the 6000+ may have been out for a while but it still holds its own quite well compared to the other stuff on the market. As you can see from the link below pretty much the only things above it are quad cores.

It looks like most of the C2D dual cores beat it as well though.

That makes me want to get a new processor - I only have a 3800x2.  Curse you AMD and your socket change to AM2!
