It's a dual core at 2.8GHz with 4GB's of RAM and a 1TB HDD? That's a pretty good deal. I'd replace the PSU and pick up a GPU.

ya, its loaded with viruses so he wants to get rid of it, so fresh install of windows and it should be fine, oh and its running windows 7 so i can either do windows 7 or 10

 

and i might sell it, and use the money to make a better one, not sure yet this is the second pc ill be doing this too :P got the money for this pc by getting a pc with a failed hdd for 15$ throwing in a spare one and selling it for 60$ xD

I've wanted to build my girlfriend a pc, but didn't think I had the money for it. This inspires me to try again. Thanks!

Hey guys I recently upgraded to a GTX 760 without changing the price at all! I traded the GT 640 to a friend and go the 760 :)
