new pc, what do you think? dont have brand names but they are 'high street'

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6600 Dual Core Processor(2.40GHz,4MB Cache,1066MHz)
Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium Edition
Aluminium ATX Midi Tower + 550W PSU - Black
EVGA nForce 680i SLI(C55XE) Mainboard - Core 2 Duo/Quad-Core - ATX
2048MB DDR2 533MHz Memory
320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive with 16MB Buffer
Lightscribe 16x Dual Layer DVD Writer +R/-R/RW/RAM
256MB nVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS - DVI,HDTV & TV-Out - PCI-Express
7.1 Channel Surround Sound Audio (on-board)
 
I'd like to know a bit more about the PSU before I'd be happy about it running a decent system, the graphics card seems a little bit unbalanced compared to the rest if for gaming and I'd prefer PC6400 Ram overall but depending on the price it doesn't look too bad. :)
 
If your spending that sort of money on a new pc surely its worth stretching to an 8800gts 320mb or at least an X1950XTX ? depends if you want it for games or not though i guess
 
im not a big pc gamer.

mainly things like football manager! which isnt the most demaning game graphics wise to say the least.

I might play the odd far cry sort of game i suppose but not regulary enough to demand a high end graphics card.

it was 870, pre made inc. shipping
 
You'd get a better deal buying at Overclockers, even the pre-built systems.

I wouldnt risk a no-name generic case and PSU..... unless you really want to go el-cheapo style!
 
I'm pretty sure I'm looking at almost the same PC as you are, so maybe I can help you out with some of the part names for you to evaluate:

PSU: HEC 550W ATX 2.0
Memory: Nanya DDR2 @ 4-4-4-12-2T @ 533MHz
Case: CoolerMaster Mystique 631 (Black)

I'm 95% sure this is what the PC comes with unless they have updated their systems in the last few months.

I too would be interested to hear your thoughts on this system.
