    It's a good entry level gaming build, it would be worth upgrading the HDD to a Caviar Green though.

    Nice, well balanced spec there. If you were to improve it in some way increase the CPU and GPU, assuming it's for playing games on.

    It would be a good idea to remove the soundcard(the onboard sound is pretty good) then upgrade the CPU to a Phenom II X4 965 and upgrade the graphics card to an Nvidia GTX460 (1GB).
