You should be able to find out what processor you have just by right clicking on my computer and clicking properties. It should be under the default tab (General).

Otherwise, I think it is far cheaper (and better) to build your own.

If for whatever reason you do not build your own, do yourself a favor, make sure it is one what comes with a disc that allows you to re-install windows.

Then, the SECOND you get your new, shiny computer home, reformat it and reload windows yourself and then get the latest drivers for all the components off the manufacturer website.

I did this for my laptop and it ran so much better than when I used it for 2 days with the factory installed "Special Dell Edition Driver."

Also, I'd definitely go with a Quad Core since, like other have said, it will extend the time before you'll need to upgrade your computer again.

zeropointbug definitely built you a solid computer above, and you'll more than likely never ever find a computer with comparable specs for even close to that price.

Everything there looks great, except I'd replace the Seagate with a Western Digital HD (albeit maybe more expensive, but Seagate is the same company as Maxtor, which are TERRIBLE). Rarely have I heard anything bad about WD.

I'd also probably swap out the video card for an Nvidia one, but I just happen to be an Nvidia guy - just me though.
