is the psu to weak?

is the cpu capable?

his budget is around 400-500 i think

what ati card does the 660 compare to does anyone know?

That PSU will probably struggle with any future upgrades. I currently run an Intel i5 2300, 7870 XT and a 7850 which uses 400w from the wall.

The GTX 600 generally compares to the AMD 7870 which is a little faster, depending on screen res etc.

guys which motherboard is this and can the cpu be upgraded in this in the future?

if so to what

It says it uses an "Asrock A55" motherboard, so most likely it is this one.

Is there no chance of purchasing the components and building a system? You will get a better spec for the same price that way.
