I know a fair amount about computers BUT i am not big on specs. Meaning i don’t exactley know which processor is the best etc. So here are the specs just wondering if this is good.

Yeah it is, how much are you paying for it?
Yes it is .

yes, I think it is
This is a very impressive computer. Here are some tips to deciding computers in the future:
Look at four things (mainly), CPU, GPU (Grahpics Card), RAM, and Hard Drive.
CPU (Central Processing Unit): GHz are the main thing you want to look at, 1 GHz range is low, 2 GHz range is average, 3 GHz range is high. If you are trying to compare processors with different core counts (such as a dual-core versus a quad-core), you could multiply the GHz by the number of cores and compare the numbers you get. Also look at brands and models, AMD is better at multimedia than Intel, but Intel is better at everything else. I personally try and avoid AMD’s due to the lack of temperature control (they get really hot really fast therefore reducing the life of the CPU and the computer) and they aren’t very good unless you are doing heavy multimedia stuff (video editting, picture editting, video uploading, etc. GAMES NOT INCLUDED). The desktop models, from worst to best for Intel, is Celeron, Pentium (this is about the average), i3, i5, i7. For AMD, I only get ones with Athlons or Turions, I don’t deal with them much.
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit/Graphics Cards): For GPU’s, to keep it simple, I look at it’s memory. The average is around 512 MB, and really is the bare minimum for today’s computer world.
RAM (Random Access Memory/also reffered to as just “memory”): This one is simple, get DDR3, anything less (DDR2 etc.) means that the motherboard is probably out of date and won’t be able to handle future models of RAM. The more the better. 4GB is about average, 2GB is bare minimum, 8 GB is pretty good, anything more is awesome!
Hard Drive (HDD/SSD): First of all you want to figure out if the drive is an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive). If it says anything about rpm (rotations per minute) then it is a HDD, otherwise it will usually say SSD. SSD is a lot faster than an HDD and no matter what the rpm is, SSD will always beat an HDD in speed (because an SSD is like a giant USB/Flash/Thumb Drive). For an HDD, the faster the rpm the better. Always get an SSD over an HDD if you plan on gaming (unless there is a 250 GB difference in size and the HDD is 7200 rpm). Then the more storage the better, 250 GB is about minimum (although you could survive on lower), 500 GB is about average, and 1 TB is a lot, any more is awesome!
Hope this helps!
