Why not post the URLs in their entirity? That would save us a lot of time... :S

This is a horrible deal, mainly because that's about the slowest PC money can buy. Never start with trying to upgrade a prebuilt PC, stuff isn't always compatible, and this isn't even a good prebuild. There are $150 CPUs that are more than triple the performance of that CPU.

My mistake, after seeing the first one I ignored the others, assuming they were extra parts to upgrade, not other choices. Either way they're refurbished, which is always a bad thing.

What are you using the PC for? That affects what specification it should have.

Why bad?
i bought a refurb. laptop gateway fx from them for 850 and its been working great.

I jut wanted a desktop that runs fast so i can give my laptop a break, etc. No need for playing games. My laptop has a 9800gtx

Refurbished PCs are repaired versions of faulty ones. Sometimes they work fine, but in general the reliability of refurbished PCs is substantially lower than new PCs.
For $500 you will not be able to build a PC that will outclass a $1500+ laptop.

Indeed it is generally best to stay away from refurbs.
