Do you want suggestions on what software to use to check if you got ripped off (i.e. test CPU/GPU/RAM/etc. performance) or do you want a new build list recommendation?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

Type "dxdiag" in the Windows menu (I'm assuming your OS here), save the text file and post it here, it'll give us all the specs if you don't know them yourself.

i dont really know it was my mother who paid him 

 

Anything much above 200 USD would be a total ripoff, but even anything about 100-150 USD wouldn't be a great price either.

But if you throw in a decent GPU you can probably still play some games on lower details (at least the ones that do not require more than 2 cores).

 

But without knowing all the details, I cannot tell you if you got ripped off or not.

It's a business tower from 2012, prebuilt, can't tell you if it was a "ripoff" without knowing how much it cost.

It's a prebuilt, that HDD is a decade old, the Mobo is 8 years old and belongs in a Lenovo prebuilt Thinkcentre Edge 72, processor is 7 years old, and the whole thing is worth ~$100 in its current condition (Minus your upgrades). You got ripped off for $600 CAN

It has the specs of what DxDiag says, and it says its a prebuilt, it may be in a new case but that's it.

 

ThinkCentre Edge 72

 

LENOVO 3484HPU mobo

i3-3220

16 GB of RAM

1tb WD HDD

 

>>> These are also the specs of your PC.
