Good PC, Though if you could get Q8400 or Q9400 it would be even better..
Graphics card will need to be updated D:

Graphic cards are always update-able
updating your proccesor will be harder because your motherboard needs to be in the ability of using it, my motherboard can only have 5 different processors but luckily i got a good one.

Q9400 is atleast 50/100 bucks more...

I know, but if I upgrade my graphics card, can my processor handle that?

Just had a quick look at those specs they would be just about good enough for my needs.
What are you planning on using the computer for mainly ?
Oh that 300w power supply is kinda weak too

Gaming, watching movies, music, photo's..

You will need atleast 500w for what you are doing.

I don't know much about computers either but I'm sure you'd want to aim for a 1gb memory in the video card

Add 50W for the result and you'll be fine with PSU like it.

Thanks for the help guys, only have one question:
I know, but if I upgrade my graphics card, can my processor handle that?
-
graphic card sux and advice don't get foxcon really sux
-
Okay I know it sucks, but if I purchase this system, will I be able to replace the current graphics card with a heavier one? If yes, what's the limit?
-
Nice Sounding Machine...
How Much is It?
then We'll Know Whether Its Worth It or Not
But You Should Be Able To Play A Good Few Games on It.. COD4, Hereos Of Newerth
Yh just Update The Graphics And It Should Be Awsome
-
As said before: Get a better Grafic card...
What is the price? Because thats important too... if this is realy cheap, I suggest to buy it and 'tune' it with own style ;)
-
I will, but I need to know if the other hardware in that PC can handle a graphics card upgrade.
-
Don't buy it - The PSU won't last long if you put a proper video card on it. Also if you decide to buy it you'll need to buy a new PSU, graphics card and maybe a better processor. Just build yourself a PC mate.

It will handle it but it's not worth it. The whole setup is VERY outdated as it is.
-
TBH most pc's are "outdated" today! if i brought a computer today next month it would be.
as i said depending on the price its reasonably good set up that should handle games fine
i think the term "very outdae" isnt really fair

~500 euro.
-
I think you can get a better PC for 500 euro... I suggest to check furter :)
-
That PC simply sucks. I wouldn't touch it even with a long stick..
Processor - Only part I'd MAYBE buy..
Graphics Card - Total shit, get 5750, 5770, , 5830, 5850, 5870 / GTX 470 480
RAM: Atleast 4 Gb 800 MHz (if Vista/7) 2Gb is enough with XP.
PSU: -.-' It's enough, but I guess it'll last about a year.. Corsair cx400 is good and cheap
You'll get i5 750, P55 motherboard, 2gb-4Gb DDR3, HD 5750, cx400W PSU with ~500-600 euro.
