This system, despite its low price is a viable ticket to entry level gaming. It features a reasonable sized hard drive (250GB) sufficient for most users, and an 8600GT (capable of pulling reasonable frames for most of today's games I believe).

At a touch under $1000 the Core 2 Duo system is quite impressive. The RAM, CPU and Board will allow for some nice overclocking, whilst the 8600GT is a decent card. For $1000, this system would be very quick and well suited for demanding office applications.

This machine is similarly specced to the AM2 system, however with the aftermarket HSF, probably better suited to overclocking.
