Does this computer suck or is it worth it? I mean, are refurbished computers okay to buy or does it depend on what the computers is?

Refurbs are awesome!!!!!

You can install a gpu in refurbs, you can upgrade ram. Their PSU's are sometimes proprietory but there is info all over the web on how to install a regular store bought psu in them. I viewed one yesterday it was done quite well.

You could get a 4th gen pc for a few dollars more.

Take a look at Newegg!
