The price is pretty much as the same as the new consoles
574.95$ + 9.99$ shipping.


Here's the computer in action playing minecraft:


Any thoughts if this a good gaming pc?

No, you could build a much better one for that price. GT 520 is severely outdated and not powerful at all. At this price, you can get a i3 3220 and a GTX 660 along with 8GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD.

Your better off building your own. It might be $100-200 more but it will be well worth it in the long run. The parts will last a bit longer with all the new games coming out and they're honestly not that hard to build. Anyone else on this website will more than likely agree with me but if you want to get that pc go for it! (you can also upgrade the one you built your self easier too!)

Like everyone above just said, you could build a much better PC for the same price. I just built my first PC yesterday with parts I paid around pretty much what that PC costs.

I'm guessing that the PC up there is a "CyberpowerPC GUA250" (according to the Youtube video)? Specs are Quad Core FX-4100, 8GB DDR3, & a GT 520. My PC consists of a 6 Core FX-6300, 8 GB DDR3, and a Radeon HD 7870 & I had enough for a SSD and like I said, I paid about 580-90 or so after rebates for it.

Never buy a pre-built system. Period.

After doing a quick search, each individual part on that Desktop you linked barely mark-up to $400... that's a joke right there.

The CPU is probably the only decent thing inside it.

No, I believe you should build your own computer. It will be cheaper and you can buy things according to your liking.

I basically did the same but used a FX-6100 with the ICEqx 7870 :p

I was looking at pc's prebuilt not long ago when i was wanting new pc, and every pc i thought oh, this seems good for the price, so i google the graphics card name and find out its worth like £20, worthless :p


I found out this guy is selling his gaming pc for 400$
Specs:
AMD HD 6670 graphics
6Core 3.3 GhZ processor
AMD Power Supply 700 Watts
8 gigs of ram

Is it good ? i searched for the graphics, and he said he could play BF3 and many other games.

Well it's probably worth around $400, but I think the 6670 will struggle with BF3 at 1080p, actually I know it will struggle.

Just save some money and build your own, a 7950 costs around $300 now, but it's well worth it.

Just build your own! What's so intimidating about that when you have a whole forum of knowledgeable PC builders ready to help you? Cool Man (aka Tustin)
