from what i can gather my pc is too old and instead of putting money into it, i have decided to customise a new build. while im not doing it myself, i would accept any views on what i have picked. online poker would be the main reason i use it but gaming in general i suppose would be the main reason.

PROCESSOR Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core E2180 Processor (2.00GHz,800MHz,1MB cache)
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
HARDWARE SUPPORT 1 Year Base Warranty
MEMORY 2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
HARD DRIVE 320GB (7200rpm) SATA Hard Drive

OPTICAL DRIVE DVD+/-RW & DVD Drives (read/write CD & DVD), 2 drives
SOUND SOFTWARE Integrated 7.1 Channel High Definition Audio
MICROSOFT SOFTWARE Microsoft® Works 9.0 - English

using my existing monitor, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive and speakers.

price i have been given on this build is 479 euro

is this an ok system and price??

thanks
