That's a crappy system. Seriously. Build your own, get the parts from reputable dealers on eBay. Do some research so you don't get burned.
And don't listen to KingofGnG. AMD is not garbage. AMD created the 64 bit CPU. Which is running on my ASUS Crosshair I motherboard (Republic of Gamers)
So seriously stick with an ASUS or Gigabye motherboard, they make the best and use the best parts in the manufacturing. Especially the capacitors (yeah it DOES matter).
Use EVGA or XFX for videocards (RIP BFG). Use Corsair or OCZ for memory. Use Thermaltake or Corsair for power supplies (though do some research). And it's up to you if you go with an Intel setup (READ limited upgradability) or Advanced Micro Devices (extended upgradability on existing parts).
I've built well over 17 computers since 1994 and through trial and error realized buying cheap costs more in the end.
