Hi guys. Thanks in advance. I won't be building a computer by myself. I will be buying it from IBUYPOWER.

The following is a Spec Sheet of a computer I want. Can you tell me if there's anything wrong with it (it's already at my budget, but I can change stuff if like the MOTHERBOARD sux or something):

**also few questions: Is that 500W power supply good enough or should I go higher? Is the motherboard good or sucky? Should I change anything?

That is so insanely confusing... I bet a lot more people will comment on it if you make it easier to read...

Post the specs you are going for and ask for peoples suggestions...
Things that help are, your budget/ primary use/ something you just have to have.

Also I dunno if ibuypower.com is the best... they're kinda expensive... but I guess it's better than a dell :)
 
My dad only lets me get a computer every 5 years.

That means I have to get a good one now, one that will still be PC GAME playable in 4-5 years (okay settings by then, MAXIMUM setting RIGHT NOW)

I have $1450 to buy a computer from IBUYPOWER

Can someone who knows computers configure one for me?

I think I want an AMD 4200+ X2, 1 GB or 2 GB Ram, 7800GTX Video Card, 160 GB HD
 
get the X2 3800+ save money, get an eVGA 7800GTX, get an sata150 hdd with 8MB cache

that power supply sucks, get an antec, OCZ, fotron, vantec, etc.
