Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

The graphics card is weak, you can play games, just not very well. But if you upgrade that, then its a pretty decent comp. Grats on it =D

What Tuanniez said... and upgrade your HD.. 320 is not enough for your p0rn needs... xD

That computer can't be upgraded - not with that PSU. If not for that terrible graphics card, I'd say it's a miracle that PSU even runs the PC as-is.

But otherwise it's pretty good - upgrade the PSU and the graphics card (first the PSU) and you'll have a gaming PC. 200$ max, unless you go really high-end. Right now it'll do very well as a basic computer. HDD isn't too big but it will easily do unless you really need some space.

Oh, and that monitor is pretty good. Seems pretty cheap, judging by its specs (mainly due to lack of HDMI), but it's still good. It's big, seems to have rather good contrast, and response time is good. Oh, and that resolution... It's slightly better than a FullHD TV (FullHD 1920x1080 versus 1920x1200 of this monitor).

Kirby!!!! I love PC of you.



Tease.

Processor is a little weak, is that a single core I suppose? I am jealous of the memory though. I need to upgrade my memory but not that big of deal since I don't play any new cpu games.

If it was a dual core would that make any difference?

Hmm one important thing that also is missing is sound..

I guess it wouldn't matter too much if it was dual. It is a nice free cpu.
