Advise me, im stoopid.

I AM NOT SELLING THIS PC, IM CONSIDERING BUYING IT FOR MYSELF!

How much would you pay for this kind of set up? im from England.
so could you put your price in both dollars and pounds or just pounds?
im doing this to get a more informed audiences opinion.

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Processor
512MB DDR RAM
160GB Hard Disk Drive
Multi-Format Dual Layer DVD-RW Drive
256MB ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 Graphics
9-in-1 Media Card Reader
7 USB connections
2 Firewire connections
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
15" TFT Flat Panel Monitor

(p.s im sorry if this thread is in the wrong place, this was the only place i thought it shared any relevence.)

Umm . . . that price sounds right . . .. but don't expect to get any serious gaming performance out of that(the ATIxpress 200 is okay, but not great).

$800 is a little much for a setup like that if you ask me...

It basically has no graphics card, which is the most important component if you want to game, all it has is the onboard graphics which are horrible.

It has a low end A64 CPU, small amount of RAM, and an average sized HDD, along with a very small TFT monitor, I wouldn't pay $800 for it...
