Man that thing is worst than my outdated PC. My PC is weaker than a PS4 or X1.

No it not worth it at all. Delete that web page.

Sure, if this was 2008.

do you know that you can build a better PC for around $500. Don't buy until it has at least a quad-Core CPU and 8GB RAM with 500GB HDD minimum if you want to game. And its over priced judging by the specs of this pc in your link.

no, it s terrible and old ( also 10y ago was not good)

 

[RadicalMind]

In one word: No.

 

[Stringjam]

Ugh. Definitely not.

 

[Chocu1a]

yikes...that is ancient.

This pc is probably lower performing than an iPhone.

 

[escrow4]

That is roughly $230 USD, HA! its worth $50. That is it. Poor buyer.

Just lol.... What a mean seller to do that to a person. Even new pcs are faster at that price lol.

Crikey. That takes me back. As the others said, that computer is quite dated. The CPU dates back to 2006 and the GPU dates from 2008. It's not very useful for playing modern games.

Not sure what your budget is, or how component pricing is in the land of Kiwis, sheep and atheist star gazers. Though I think I could probably slap together something that will outperform that for a reasonable amount of money.

Intel Pentium G3250 3.2ghz - $55
nVidia GeForce GTX 750 2GB - $110
ASRock H81M-DGS R2.0 motherboard - $46
G.SKILL NS Series 8GB DDR3-1600 (2x 4GB) $41
Rosewill I5-397-BK - ATX Mid Tower case with included 450w power supply $50
Windows 8.1 Home 64-bit $100

Prices in US Dollars. Works out to be twice the price of the one you linked, but it's at least four times the computer. If you want to go lower, check out some used systems that date from around 2012 to present.
