I'm curious to hear what you wound up doing?

Personally, this looked a little bit pricey for an AMD setup.  For this
price I would expect an Intel solution.  But you should be able to run a
nice desktop environment from here on AMD also.  

What desktop do you want to run?

PS.  I recently had Emperor build me a nice laptop.  It was expensive,
but it was nice.  If your goal is to save $$, I would say install
yourself.  Emperor is mainly about laptops I believe.
