Can you guys rate this?

My parents recently informed me that they had asked someone about computers and bought one for my 18th. Thing is, I'm not to sure if the specs are good. Here's a list:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Processor (2.5GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 6MB Cache) Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Premium
4GB Memory



1TB Hard Drive

• Multi-Format Dual Layer DVD Re-Writer
• 1024MB nVidia GeForce 9800 GT
• Built-in Digital TV Tuner
• 15-in-1 Card Reader
• 6 USB connections

Now I knowI should get the RAM upgraded to 6 or maybe 8GB as I plan to game/edit movies for my media studies on it. Other than that, any good?

Also, anyone know where to get a cheap HD monitor?

It's very nice, and I reckon you'd be fine with 4GB tbh.

If it's to expensive to get a 6/8GB, I'll probably stick with it untill next year, as I need the money for the monitor.

You'll want either 4GB or 8GB. 6GB wont run in dual channel.

The PC is reasonable. 4Gb will be plenty for a while.

You can't really rate it unless you know the price.

I've decided to stick with 4GB for the time anyway, thanks for the info though, I didn't know.

It was £650 with 1 years antivirus. I don't mind the price aslong as it runs my games well.

You can get 8GB for about £800

Or about £500 for refurbished ones.

On what planet?

That's very expensive. Does it come with a monitor?
