That's not bad at all for $549. It has a decent AMD quad core, a nice amount of memory, a 500GB drive and an HD 2400 XT video card. It's no screamer, but should do well with daily tasks and light gaming.

For that price, he can get a nice Core 2 Duo setup.

If you are not considering financing disregard the following. If you are, please consider this:

Be sure to check the fine print. Quite often you will see very high interest rates on some computer finance offers. Another thing to consider is that while you are paying off a computer it's value drops over time and faster components become available for the same price. In simple English you are much better off saving up your money until you have enough to get what you want than financing, when it comes to computers.
