You can play 2 year old games at least. I’m not sure it could handle the newest games out there though.

You can run any game out, not at MAX settings… but you will get by. This rig should keep up for another year.
Not very good… buying parts yourself, putting some work into it, you can get a machine 20 times faster than this for only 3 or 400 bucks…
Go for an AMD motherboard with an AM3 socket, get a 3.4Ghz quad core (Overclock to potential 4.3Ghz) get a nice 4570 which will be cheaper but many times faster than that one, some DDR (3!) ram will speed things up a lot, lastly a 64 gig SSD if you want to squeeze every last bit out of it…
It would run Windows 7 quite easily, and Vista.
You would be able to play modern day games probably on medium graphic settings.
It would be good for work and some gaming.
If it’s under £400 I’d say a good price.
Hope that’s what you’re looking for.
That really would not be a great gaming pc…More of a general use pc for watching movies,videos and some gaming…The 4650 is a weak gaming card….You don’t say how much it cost,but I would not spend much because it needs to be upgraded if you are planning on playing very intensive games…If your playing WOW or some other game of that sort(older games) then it would do well……..

Update—–I dont believe its worth 300.00 bux as it is dated…Its running DDR ram, a 160gig HDD,you can get the 4650 off ebay for 30.00 to 40.00 bux plus what i mentioned before….You could do better because what your looking at is going to need upgrading…Save some money and buy somthing new….
