Would this PC be a good deal if i can talk him down to $50/$60? I would put some spare RAM and a better PSU and an older GPU i have laying around into it.

 

I want to use it at my dads in my room when i go over for weekends with the wireless internet to web browse, watch netflix or youtube, and do VERY light gaming on a 720p monitor i had laying around.

it'll do fine for light games (though your light games may differ from mine)

 

but i would maybe expand the storage if you wanna put games on it, 80gb isnt enough

so check if it's using SATA or PATA if you plan to upgrade storage

 

also, since it has a wifi card installed, does it still have slot for your gpu?

i looked up a pic of the mother board and it looks like it does. but i cant find specs of what speed or amount of ddr3 ram i can put in there, i do know it has two dims for it though.

well it's a prebuilt, does the motherboard take conventional power supply plugs? i know some company (censored) with their customers by using different power supply pins and thus limiting you to not being able to upgrade the psu

does the dual band wifi take pcie or pci?

u only have 1x pcie 16x

the rest are pcie 1x (or 2x, i cant really tell)

followed by 2x pci

 

and the psu plugs do seem like conventional ones, hopefully they are `-`
