A assembled pc would have been cheaper and better though.

Good config except for that Graphics card. If you not into gaming, it will be a great desktop for you. Full support from Dell. It may look a bit pricey but it's branded and branded PC's have their own edge.

If you want to play a lot of games, get atleast 9600GT or HD4830.

Happy computing!!!

3450 is a decent card. Certainly not top-notch but is a good card, it can handle games.

43.4k is bit too much for that config IMO

It's better to pay a few extra 1000s rather than buying everything from different vendors and then going knocking on company doorstep for after-sales, toll-free 1 stop after sales. Peace of mind. ;) Worth it, my personal experience.

Dude, I guess a Compaq machine might have been a better deal, coz I believe it could end up being more economical, and also might have more service centers to support. could check out options on techtree.com. In any case those who've boought it, shouldnt bother, just enjoy the new machine, comparisons can never end!

But for the Quad Proccesor they (Dell) are only offering a ATI card.

I opted 8600,..
