Case: ATX Tower

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium OEM
Hardware Drivers: Installed
All feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Lol, yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Better off putting 8GB in there and reducing the price by $30 or whatever that costs. I kinda don't like that it's advertised as having a free 22" monitor either. Would be pretty bad value IMO without a monitor. I'm guessing there's no keyboard or mouse either, so anyone looking for a full system still needs to spend more…
dialing it down to 8gb and giving a better CPU would make this system rather more balanced
Damn, wish you were in Sydney. I am after a package like this for someone.
No keyboard and mouse included?
Suggestion: Maybe remove the 5450 video card, use on-board video in CPU and increase the cpu one level.
What is the monitor?
Hi Bruce. We tend to give whichever brand we have in stock. We've used Acer, Philips and Samsung in the passed which are all FHD 1080p monitors.
i7 would be nice
the only use I can think of for 16gb ram is for using it as VM server
memory overkill :D but still a good deal :D
Hey guys, thank you for all your feedback and suggestions, I will be writing them down and improving our future systems to suit your needs!

Well, it'd be hard to do better. Thumbs up.
Could you make it more simpler by naming things like processor speed and graphics card full name? Or is the processor speed in the name?
Wow it doesn't have a catch.. 2.9 ghz processor and pretty good low end graphics card.
will this run BF3?
At lowest settings, probably.
The graphics card is quite literally the cheapest on the market (barring the 512MB version of the same card).
You'd have to upgrade it if you wanted to play smoothly at decent res & detail. Something like an ATI 6770 for ~$130 would do the job, higher if you want high res stuff. Although if you go higher you'll want a better PSU to power it as well.
what do most users need 16gb of ram for? hah
