Default Good Buy?

I am considering buying this PC, but I don't really know much about pricing on PC's/Parts. So would this be a good buy for $1,651?

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.4Ghz 800Mhz FSB 2MB

RAM: 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM

System Drive: 160GB RAID0

Storage Drive: 250GB Serial ATA II 3GB

CD/DVD Drive: 16x Dual Layer CD/DVD RW+-

Motherboard: Alienware PCI express

Graphics Processor: 256Mb

Hope someone answers this Thread.

this isnt a good buy. you could build a much better pc for much less, or if you dont build get someone to do it for you, u'll be guaranteed better performance and bang for your buck!!

The only reason I'd buy Alienware computers would be for the case, and matching input devices and monitor. Other than that, they're bad deals. Just build your own.

Having built many gaming computers, I think you should follow the advise of all those answering this thread. Learn enough to build your own. MUCH cheaper!
