I havent been that up to date with the latest from AMD but from what i read in your post it seems to be a good deal for $450USD.
That setup should run smooth for what you want to do with it. Im guessing gaming??

This machine should be good enough for what you want to do. It doesn't need to be really powerful for web browsing and dvd burning etc..

You were a lucky one dabig25! Craigslist can be such a pain sometimes! Mostly because there are scammers on there... But ya you got that for a decent price! Specially with a graphics card like that, you can do gaming if you wanted to... Just sayin...
