Does this PC seem like a good value?

[crazysteve240]

I want to build a PC that can game, handle video editing, and multi-tasking. My strategy tackling this is buying a barebones PC and upgrading it from there, which leaves me pondering, does this PC seem like a good value? (link below)

If you plan to upgrade and this is really costs only 20 w/o scam then looks good

This PC can not do anything except run windows XP era software.  It will struggle with modern websites.  Gaming is out of the question unless you do it at 320p, low settings.

welp im sorry that amd is I think is not a dual core and 90% of flagship/simulator games need a dual core. 2 gigs is going to give you framrates slower than satellite tv in a hurricane and that radeon is proboaly not working very well because From my knowing 96% of gpu's need more thn 4 gigs of ram and a dual core but asus sells a few titans that don't so if you want to buy it and upgrade i would buy everything but keep the radeon and see how it does.

Yeah, I mainly just want the case, I feel like that itself is worth $20. I'll probably just sell the other components except the hard drive.

I purchased the PC today, and I asked the question - But can it run CS: GO? It came with Windows XP, and I couldn't download Steam at that moment, so I copied game files from my laptop, in the original Counter-Strike, the gameplay was very smooth at a widescreen 1440 x 900 resolution (I couldn't get exact framerates). In Counter-Strike: Source, it was pretty laggy on high settings (e.g., AA, shader detail, shadows), but with low settings, it actually ran decent. I think the main components I am going to scrap are: motherboard, CPU, and GPU. I think I am going to keep the HDD, the power supply since it is 500W, the optical disk drive even though it is obsolete, and the case.

 

Thanks for your help, my man.
