514$

* ATI Radeon 3000 DVI, VGA amp; HDMI
* 500w PSU
* Black case
* LG DVD/CD Burner
* Realtek 7.1 HD Audio
* Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit


i plan on upgrading the psu and graphics card prolly before i turn it on lol but just wondering if this is a good buy? it's made buy jedicomputers the last pc i built was in 2001 or so a amd athlon 3000+ 2gb ram ati hd46701gb agp and that is stil my current pc haha! so this will be a huge leap for me

i prefer amd but they also had this pc.... for 689$

Gigabyte Z77 Motherboard USB 3.0
* Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Quad-Core Processor
* 8GB Memory

* Intel HD Graphics 4000 Graphics
* 500w PSU

i would also upgrade psu and graphics card in this......

i'm really leaning towards the amd but what do you guys think ? or should i just build from scratch any ideas for 700$ or so build? besides these?
