What brand of motherboard, ram, and power supply? How big is the cache on
the hard drive? Is this a brand name system like HP, eMachines, etc.? I am
not a fan of large OEM brand name systems. Although the computers themselves
are usually of reasonable construction (except the really low cost ones)
they always install a bunch of trialware and spyware that causes nothing but
problems and can be very hard to get off the system. Also most brand names
do not include a Windows install CD but have a hidden partition that will
restore the computer to the factory state. This limits your troubleshooting
options in the future. If you want to play the latest games you will
probably want a separate graphics card rather than an embedded one.
