Buying a pc..

Solved by Bombastinator,
“Used to have” being the operative here. What’s it got now? A 9700 is 8/8, so gigantically fast for an 8thread cpu, and will game like spit now (assuming it has a decent video card. The iGPU in that chip isn’t worth much for 3d stuff) as is it doesn’t have the GPU to run any of the things you mentioned. It will need some sort of gpu to do any of it. Another really big deal is win11 was just announced and if the thing doesn’t meet the requirements for that it’s EOL even as an office machine. The thing would take a 9800 which would give it 16 threads but you’d need both that and a gpu to make it run future stuff. Lot of legwork left on that one and the answer might still be “no”
