Im not a computer expert, So is this a good deal for what im getting?

Btw I would be using it for a couple of games, E.g COD4 And editing ect

If you have any good sources to cheap sites selling a decent gaming pc let me know.

Much appreciated!

Well it's pretty cheap. The 8600gt is hardly enough to play any of the latest games. Games like BF3 will hardly be able to play on the lowest settings really. He's using DDR2 RAM and what not. Don't forget this was from 2010.

You could pick up a better rig for that money.

But can it run old games like, COD4, WAW? I can always upgrade, Can you suggest any decent graphics cards which are cheapish? I know but he has recently put it up for sale

I would advise against it, you can get better builds for that money.

But if you want to, after getting the PC, get a 6770. Or a 7770. Maybe a 560? They cost around 100.

And the CPU is from last or before last in generations.

Upgrading would be entirely pointless. To upgrade the CPU you need a new motherboard. You'll also need better RAM and a new GPU.

The GPU is weak. It probably could play those games on medium I guess.
