You do realize thats a barebones kit, right? (and a crappy one)

It has no Operating System, No RAM, No Hard Drive.

You will have to buy all of those things, and assemble it.

You are buying an out-dated bare-bones system.  You better know how to build a computer.

What is your price range?  I might be able to find something.

What are you planning on using this for and what is the cost of this crap-tastic barebones kit? There isn't actually a limit to hard-drives, they make 1.5TB drives now, which is showing how dated already this barebones system you posted up is... but thats the least of your problems, you need to buy memory, that should be $50-$100, a hard-drive, $50-$200 depending how big you want to go, and Operating system, $90+ depending on what you get... Then we get into all the integrated stuff, if you want to play any modern games, all that integrated stuff is absoultly worthless to you and you should not even go for that combo, as a good system for games WILL require a decent graphics card ($200+).

If you don't mind playing game with mid-settings at 1024x768 a 8600GT 256mb is ok for Crysis, if you have at least 2GB DDR2 RAM and a C2D (or quad).
