The power supply is very pathetic especially for something like that... 400W is the usual minimum, so before you plan on doing a core 2 duo or upgrading anything else get yourself a bigger PSU. Heck, you'll be damaging all of your hardware since it will be starving for power.

Ram Kingston DDR2 1GB (512 X 2) 667 [and a 1GB is also coming]
Sound built in
Power supply 350 watt
Sony dvd rom, Asus cd rom, the monitor is the same.
so what will u say about it
some rates plz
that would be a sick gaming rig if you got a better PSU, (power supply) i would recommend one that is sli enabled, then if you wanted sometime in the future you could get another 7600 GT XXX (the same video card im getting) and go pawn like the pros!

There are no differences between SLi Enabled PSUs and normal ones. SLi Enabled means that they are tested to work with SLi, which basically means that they can deliver enough power.

I believe graphics cards come with 4-pin molex -> 6-pin PCI-E connectors.

6010? Never heard of that model. But it doesn't sound too good.

i would spend the extra bucks and get the 6800 gt 256, plenty of power for every game out there and should be good for what the future holds for a while

Why a previous series high-end card and not a current series mid-range one?
Performs better and possibly cheaper too.

a 7600 costs less then a 6800 gt in some cases but not all when you search the web, i'd still take the 6800 it is one of the best IMO

Well, the graphics card alone requires a 400W PSU so it depends on wether hes going to add more things into his computer. I'd say no lower than a 450.
