Answer
Depends on how much the person is asking... computers are becoming very cheap.
(for example, you could buy a brand new Dell with all those specs and more with an awesome video card for $800-$900 and that would be brand new)...
That said ... lets take a look at the specs on the advertised machine ...
AMD AM2 CPU -- no mention of speed ...
AMD is hurting right now compared to Intel. I have been a faitfhul AMD fan for the past 10 years but have switched over to Intel because the new Core2Duos are simply fantastic/amazing processors -- until AMD pulls a magic trick, I'm sticking with Intel.
1GB of RAM -- well... you will probably want at least 2GB of RAM to play some of the games. While adding 1GB of RAM isn't difficult - on this machine it will probably cost you about $40 (versus $10 on the newer machines).
8600GT is a decent video card but roughly a year old (in computer age - thats old). Figure the 9600GT would be its replacement - costs $180 and is twice as fast.
All the installed games is nice -- do they come with the original KEYS? Anyone can download games, install them and play them - but you really need to be careful about using illegal software. Aside from the legalities - what happens if you ever have to reformat/reload your computer? Are all the disks available to reload them? Is the Operating System legit?
I'd give this a little research - again, compare the prices. New systems are getting pretty cheap and a lot of the newer systems will give you better performance for a great price. The 8600GT is the best thing listed above but even that is only a $80 video card right now. (and again, I would verify the legalities of the software just to be on the safe side).
