My Gateway DX4831-01e with Intel® Core™ i3 Processor

I'm looking for a cheap desktop computer for almost a week and I'm really interested for an ASUS, but I won't spend for more than $600. I've used and tested ASUStek computers and its one of the best computers out there. When I went to bestbuy, I found a couple of nice computers but I spotted this Gateway DX4831-01e with Intel® Core™ i3 Processor for $549.00, I thought it's really cheap, I believed this one has the latest i3 processors. So I checked the product detail carefully and found out that this one is far better than my ASUS (Asus Essentio CM5571-BR003) desktop prospect. One thing I don't like about this bundle is the video card, anyway it's shared and I can always buy a high end video card separately. Anyway here are the specs:
