As computer isn't bad, the case design is very nice for me, but the specifications aren't really good. But if it doesn't cost a lot, like less than 1000 Dollars, is a nice computed to do almost anything.
The CPU is a bit old now, I would prefer an Intel Core i7 860 or a Intel Core i5 750. With this CPU the RAM memory must be DDR3 type with 1600 MHz of working frequency; it has to be specified like this, 6 GB triple channel if is used that Intel Core i7 CPU, or 4 GB dual channel if is used the other CPU. The HDD has a pretty good size. The graphic card isn't good for most of the recent games, it's not so powerful and the 1 GB of VRAM for it is useless. Better choose the newer Windows 7 as OS, in Home Premium version.

Much better to use XP, unless you can somehow get Windows 7 to just use Directx 9 for all games.

In that picture there are no components inside the case.
