Hello razz83;
CPU and 8GB RAM are very good.
1600x900 LCD and 2x 500GB HDD is also good.
Mobility Radeon HD 5650 is just 'OK' for gaming. It's at the low end of mid-range gaming cards.

Thank You WR2

It's a fair price.
But you might find a President's Day sale or a coupon code to shave a bit off the price.

Dealigg Check the HP Store too.
