It's my birthday tomorrow, and I'm getting a new PC. Is this any good?
Parts list:
4 GB ddr3 huge-freaking-amount Mhz RAM
Club 3D GeForce GTX 460 1gb GDDR 5
Intel Core i5 3.2 Ghz quad-core
MSi P55 -GD55 Gaming Series 1 Sec Overclocking.
Is this a good gaming PC?
It's good, but it depends how much you're paying for it. If it's any more than $900 I'd build it yourself
It looks 'ok' for medium gaming. But naturally as Finley said, price is everything.
It's more than 'ok for medium gaming' the CPU is pretty much the best at gaming and the GPU is still decent
never heard of club 3d. i would get something from a reputable brand
I think they only sell in America
Nah, I'm from Holland. Anyway, it's custom built for around 400 euros.
400 euros, really? That's a fucking bargin
Yeah, that is quite insanely cheap. What case are you planning on putting this setup in?
An Ever case. It resembles this a little, although it doesn't have the lights on the fan:

well ok then.
Never heard about a 3.2 Ghz i5 Quad
probably this one, [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115220[/url]
or it's overclocked

That's a dual
then it's either overclocked or the OP thought it was a quad like I did.

A generic 400W PSU won't output 400W
If you get a reputable brand of PSU, I would recommend that you get one that outputs 100w more than you actually need to allow for future upgrading and incase the PSU's max power output degrades over time. Naturally if you go with a cheap generic brand you will most likely end up having to buy a new one within 5 months, or worse a new PSU alongside a new mobo, RAM and anything else it takes with it.

Doesn't mean if it's a good or a bad PSU
I bet it's a bad one.
Well sorry for not being a computer expert or an English expert. Tell me what you want to know about it.

Power supply brand, and the exact specifications (Run speccy on the PC if possible).

speccy doesnt get PSU info. try opening the case and checking it physically. also power supplies arent anywhere near 100% efficient, so a 400W might output in total 320W at optimum load
