Hey Dustin, welcome to PC Help Forum, this looks a good system to by, although as i stated in the PM that i sent you, i would advise putting another 512MB of RAM in there. You will see an improvement on the speed of the system amongst other things!
Yes I would suggest another 512 eventually. 512 megs will play all games now, but soon will not.
Power Supply (Standard Case Power Supply) As long as the power supply is a raidmax should be OK
other than that looks pretty descent for a gaming PC for 657 bucks. You could build it probably for about 100.00 less, but if ya don't know how to build em I'd buy it.
And also notice it does not have a cd-burner or dvd-rom. games are going to be coming out on dvd-rom soon (again) so think ahead with that.
