For the price, it is a very good computer.

Gaming, no, not with out a graphics card upgrade.

Matty
I would much rater have a pentium processor.Amd are like treading water.
Yep, it will do everything you need it for.
Media – music, games, movies etc.
Work
and it won’t need to be replaced for around 5-7 years
Looks good. I would eventually get rid of the Integrated graphics though, but all in all a great machine.
Not bad for the price. It comes with Windows 7 which is a massive improvement on Vista, although it looks somewhat like it from the front end. The Athlon processor I like, although some people are hard core Intel fans. However, it depends on what you are going to use it for. If you are going to use it for gaming, then it may be let down by the graphics card on some high end games, but even this should be fine for most. Check if the graphics car is using shared memory or has its own. If it’s shared, this means that it will be reserving memory from your 3GB RAM to run the graphics, which in turn will slow the computer down. Also a 320GB hard drive sounds a lot, but if you are going to be loading lots of games or graphics, films or media files etc then you can fill this quicker than you think.
Good pc. But paying a bit more, would consider now getting one with a combined HD Blueray player and DVD Burner.
