Dear Eduardo,

There is always someone trumpeting their product as designed specifically for gaming, but do those offers really address the heart of a game-oriented, pro-style PC? Mostly, no--they do not. We’ve collaborated with our in-house experts (that means gamers themselves) to put together a true-blue gaming platform build. Where does one start when assembling a DIY kit of such proportions? Three letters: SLI.

This Barebone includes the rock-solid XFX nForce 680i LT SLI Motherboard and sports dual XFX GeForce 7300 GT video cards. They’ve got 512MB of video memory apiece, 350-megahertz core clock, and are HDTV ready-- and that’s just where we started! 2 gigabytes of DDR2 Memory from Crucial. A Pentium dual core 3.0-gigahertz processor from Intel. And the case, motherboard, and power supply you’ll need to hold and house this truly serious SLI Barebone kit.

Dual 7300 = lose. Pentium D = lose. This computer = lose.

You're better off waiting for a Dell desktop deal.

Edit: Just to be clear- that computer is terrible.

it's good if you plan on playing older games, i mean you could play some newer games and get decent frames but, it's a better idea to build your own core 2 duo build

that thing is garbage. the ram doesnt' even work with the processor. its 533mhz, duo should run at least 800mhz ram. and 400PS? wtf...for a "gaming" pc my ass.

dell has a nice comp. out that gives you a 24 inch monitor! for like $650.

That's because its a Pentium D, not a Core 2 Duo.

Horrible horrible deal.

If you want a computer at that price either get on of the cheap intel core2 duos and do a massive overclock or pick up an AMD x2 system.
