New computer system specs

Hello:

My computer system was fried in a power surge recently so I am forced to look at a new system. Can you let me if this system would be sufficient?
I am the average user at home who runs a business out of my house and doesn't need anything fancy.

Brand: "Touch Athlon 64 3500+"

• AMD Athlon 64 3500 + (2000MHz HTB, S939)
• Microsoft Win XP Home Edition
• ATX Midtower (Silver/Black), 350 W P.S.
• 512 MB DDR400 + 160 GB SATA 8 MB HD
• Onboard graphics and 6-ch audio
• 2 piece multimedia speakers
• RAID/8 x USB
• 16 X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer (DL) Drive
• Floppy Drive, LAN
• PS2 Keyboard and Optical PS2 Mouse
  [*]Asking Price $799 plus monitor costs.....
  
  My printer is still good (HP Photosmart 7150) and scanner, plus I have a good speaker system, itellipoint keyboard and mouse.
  
  Your thoughts, suggestions? This system would work within my budget.
  
  Thanks

 

Seems fine
One thing, maybe another 512Mb RAM would be useful if your budget stretched to it, and you were using mulitple files/programs.

 

the specs look good but you could get a compaq like mine (sr1630NX) which has similar specs for around $500 or an hp with some extra RAM and a bigger hdd for $50-$100 more, just a suggestion, I haven't had many issues with hp.

 

which is too many for me

i agree with Halo and Steeev

 

the only prob i ever ahd was my dads 4 year old pavillion. the psu crapped out just a couple months ago, fan stopped.and a CD burner died on that same comp, last year.

 

I think it's pricey, at least compared to the local market here.

Make sure you get a proper copy of XP, and not an image or restore disc.

You will need it sooner or later, and check what the warranty covers.
