Those are pretty crappy specs for a gaming computer. I've found tons of problems with their build.

CPU: The Q6600 is offered with the B3 stepping specifications (105W TDP), which was succeeded by the G0 stepping (meaning this computer is using outdated hardware). False information, speed is only an effective 9.6GHz when the application is multi-threaded.
CPU Fan: "Genuine Intel Heavy Duty" fans aren't awesome, contrary to their false advertising. It isn't uber-effective, but it should work.
Motherboard: P965 chipset is old, but it still works.
RAM: Budget RAM don't need heat spreaders. 8GB of RAM is useless, you're just paying over $100 extra for a small performance increase.
Hard drive: SATA II (3GB/s) is the standard, nothing special with that.
Optical drive: Just pointing out that dual layer and lightscribe technology isn't new.
Graphics card: Extremely weak and underpowered, 1GB is a complete waste on that graphics card (256MB should be the most offered on that graphics card). If you want to SLi (which you'll need to buy an SLi motherboard), single card solutions look better and cheaper.
Sound card and Network card: They're just repeating info on the motherboard.
Power supply: Too much wattage, never heard a lot about the brand, missing info.
Mouse: Low dpi

I'm done ranting about that computer build.

You can build your own computer, right? If not, you'll be stuck with a build similar to the one you found on eBay.

So i learned that the computer i linked could be better and not to trust ebay. Does anyone have any other pre-made computers i can take a look at that are around the range of 700-900 bucks?

I think with a few more bucks, it will be way way better. Just my opinion. But it's pretty good for a bought computer instead of a built.

9.6GHz hahaha. This seller either has no idea how computers work, or is just lying out his ass.
