i would get a better processor at least a 5000 amd 64x2 if you can, at least 2 gigs of ram and maybe a better video card. It all depends what you use it for, if your just going to play maple this stats are good enough but if you want to play future games processor, ram, vid card upgrade will be neccessary, other than that this pc is good

Depends what your needs are , if they are for real future games like halo or crysis then yes you need better specs. Probably Ram and Video Card and processor.
Depends on your needs

Rip off.
Motherboard - 30 Dollars.
CPU - 50 Dollars
Ram - 15 Dollars
Video Card - 70 Dollars
PSU - 15 Dollars
HDD - 35 Dollars
DVD Drive - 25 Dollars
Case - Anywhere from free to 30 Dollars. Assuming it isn't high end, with those specs it shouldn't be.
Total - 240$ to 270$

Very expensive and pretty much not recommended. 1st you got sucky RAM(s) then you get a sucky Graphic Card... Does your PSU have a brand? And I much recommend Intel Processors, more costy but better speed and performance over and all.

STAY AWAY FROM ECS!!
They're cheap, sure, but you'll be paying for it when components on the mobo stop working.
My first PC was build with an ECS, the PCI-E slot went bad. Sent it back for a replacement, and it wouldn't detect my after a couple weeks. Finally bought an Asus and haven't had a single problem with the mobo.
