So I'm looking to get back into PC gaming a little bit. I found this computer which seemed like a good deal, but not really sure. I know if i want to play games I would have to buy extra parts for it probably. I'm not looking to play games at max setting, just be able to play without lag. Steam games, CS:GO, maybe WoW and Diablo.




Core2 Duo Desktop w/ Windows 7 & Office 2013 4GB Ram - $75

This is a CTL GS10 Desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate, and Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus Edition.
Intel Core2 Duo Processor running at 3.00GHz speed
4GB's DDR2 Dual Channel Ram Memory
80GB Sata Hard Drive
DVD-CD/RW Disc Drive
6 USB Ports in the back, and 2 more in the front
2 different video options, standard VGA and DVI if you want to run a dual monitor system.



Would it be worth it? Can't really afford to build a comp from scratch right now, and if i could turn this into something that can run games decent, I'll probably get it.

Let me know, thanks!

Well unfortunately I owe money on my taxes which would have been used for a rig. Don't have much to be able to spend on a comp, especially with no monitor, windows, etc.

Guess I'll have to put it off for now :(

If you have $350-$400 to spare, it's possible.

As an example, something like this could work.

~$600 is a good budget to aim for, sweet spot of price/performance
