Make a thread in PC Hardware Discussions, but a sound card is really useless with most new motherboards having 5.1 channel onboard sound.
Sound card come with it for free so i dont care.
Oh thats worthy :D
I don't know how good those specs are, but you ought to build it yourself. It'll be fun, you'll save money, and there's nothing like the sense of satisfaction you get by looking at something awesome and saying ''I built that!''  
i bought this computer last spring...I like it alot, but if you really want to get into pc gaming i would suggest upgrading to at least an 8800gt, which is what i'm gonna do this christams. I would not hesitate to purchase this if you really don't wanna build a desktop yourself.
Buy a HP with a good processor and like 3 gigs of ram for about $500, then buy a badass graphics card and phower supply and upgrade it yourself.
