Not really..... it's ancient. Nforce430 and geforce6 built in graphics...... that'd make it about 5 years old.
What do you need it for? Are you building a new system or just replacing an old mobo?

Erm just getting it in a Value Prebuild from OcUK 'Primo Submission just while i start to learn the basics and more about Computer hardware.
Its basically for use while im in college and learning about computer system, since my laptop (as you see in my Sig) is pathetic.

Well, according to this benchmark your laptop has a more powerful cpu than that system.

Your core2duo t2350 scores 849, whilst the opteron 140 only scores 771. That "primo submission" looks really underpowered and outdated.
I think you should probably look to spend a bit more to get something you'll be happy with. If you're serious about learning about computers, the best thing to do is build one from scratch. If you make thread in "general hardware" asking people to spec you a budget build for around £200-250, you'd end up with something a lot better than that pre-built...... and the knowledge and satisfaction from building it yourself, is invaluable.
