8GB DDR3-1333 RAM
1TB 7200 rpm SATA HDD
Nvidia GeForce GT630 2GB

Wireless-N LAN card

Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate
Price: $539(Used)
After using the same laptop for the past 6 years, this will be the first desktop system I've owned in recent times.(My last desktop was a p4! :o)
This was definitely and impulse buy and i'm sure i could have found something much better, but i consider it more or less a bandaid, until i get my new high-end gaming notebook this spring/summer.
I will upgrade the video card if i need to, but compared to what i'm using now, the GT 630 2GB is like pure gold =)
Now that i've purchased it and it's shipped, anyone feel free to tell me what is wrong with it, and/or what upgrayedds you'd recommend for optimal performance. Also, i've 30 days to return it with free shipping if not satisfied, so..

I initially thought a x30 card would be complete shit, but a second look on youtube shows it's actually a pretty solid card for gaming. Easily enough to hold you over until you upgrade to a faster card.
What card would you recommend Elliot?
Ghost: i will add the specs, ty
Nvidia 8800GTX, 9800GX2, GTX 260\GTX 295. All of those are solid cards, but the 8800gtx is the lowest end of the selection, and really only if you're truly hurting for money.
If you do have or plan on getting a new GFX card, PLEASE let me know! I'm stuck with a NVidia GTX 450 and could REALLY do with a new one!! Used or not...
I know there are tonnes on the net, but just, like... Lemme know.. If you decide not to sack it off.. Archie beat me to it and sacked his off before I could grab it...
(Can talk more on PM, trying not to flood your post.
edit
check this ghost before offloading your card
Repeat: It's a Zotac GTS 450 1GB ECO graphix card.
eyes lighten up, like kawaii jello
Edit
I see some specs say that the max memory is 32GB, but then i couldn't reuse the old sticks, and besides, i don't think i need that much =P
