Ouch! That's a pretty penny for low to mid range system.

It has a decent processor, good amount of memory and a nice drive, but the video card is an entry level card at best. It will struggle with any of the high level games out there. But if you're a light gamer and are mostly surfing, chatting and running iTunes, you should be OK with that system.

Yah.
Skip the intel.
Get a Phenom 2. Then with the money you save, get a 4850x2.
I highly recommend the ECS black series boards for budget AMD builds.
If u can afford it, get DDR3 and a DDR3 supported mobo. If not, then use an AM2+ mobo with DDR2.

Sorry, i spelt the graphics card wrong, look at it now.
Is it worth it now?
and why skip the intel?

because intel is highly overpriced compared to AMD.

Naw. 4850x2 still pwns it.

The 9800GT is much better. It can run games like Crysis on med settings. I'd say that system would be a very nice performer that is capable of doing what you need it to.

It must be rough to live in Australia. The computer prices are nuts.

4850x2 will run on high.

So will this be a worthwhile and good machine?

IMO, no.
If u went with an AMD build, you will get a much better system for cheaper.
