Yes, but they sure aren't what I'd recommend.

Hey xhoboinab0xx,

Give us your budget and what the computer will be used for and we can recommend a much better system setup than that. When buying, it truly is you get what you pay for. Most of those brands you ordered are cheaper, but are less reliable/dont perform up to great standards.

Hope this helps,

Hippo

That's not enough for a gaming computer.

Good CPU, everything else needs revising, you need to save up some money and get better hardware.

$680 is where I am at if you want a mid range AMD quad core gaming rig:
Newegg.com - AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor ADX640WFGMBOX
Newegg.com - ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS - CD / DVD Burners
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Elite 330 RC-330-KKN1-GP Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Newegg.com - ASUS VW193DR Black 19" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000 :1 (ASCR)
Newegg.com - ASUS M4A87T AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard
Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-1370-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Newegg.com - ENERMAX NAXN ENP550AWT 550W ATX12V Active PFC Power Supply
Newegg.com - Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT25664BA1339

This will not give you max gaming performance and you cant excpect it to go on Ultra in gmaes like Crysis 2 and such. You will be able to game with it but not top notch!

You can also go Intel by swapping the motherboard and CPU for these
Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-2300 Sandy Bridge 2.8GHz (3.1GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52300
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
This will cost you another $120 or so but you get a faster CPU from Intel, it will still be a mid range gaming rig because of the video card!
