you can get ALOT better components used

  • HD 6870 40$
  • mobo 20$
  • ram 4/8gb 10/20$
  • powersupply 30$

There's a really solid $350 PC in my signature that is more than capable of maxing out CS:GO.

idk at BEST you could use this for PFSense but dont bother with the GPU 

What do you mean I'm noob please speak English

That computer is garbage. Has literally no value at all . That wouldnt run anything and nothing can be upgrade. It will have issues with even chrome.

you can run a pentium d 945 on that, you may be able to get one cheap to eke more performance. get a cheap second hand gpu. 

CS:GO hits the CPU harder than the GPU. There's nothing on that socket that can keep up well enough.
