can you play with these? yes. games like bf4? no.

leeb2013 · Nov 19, 2013

the games you can play will be very limited or very limited quality/res/fps.

Are you in the US? How about a PS4 for $160 extra?

leeb2013 :

Yes but I plan in upgrading it what the first thing I'll need to upgrade
I'm dont want to play games like bd4 more like skyrim or world of war craft

Remove the graphics card (HD 6450) and swap the cpu to this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113281 (A8-5600K)

At that price I would recommend a PS3.

At $400, XB1 or PS4 are decent options.

At $500, you can build a great PC that can handle these games and more.

Ya, not gonna be able to play much, get a PS4. Or go up to 500 and we can build you a good one.

I recommend 1 4gb stick over 2 2gb sticks so you can easily just buy another 4 gig stick and have 8.
Actual price is about $495, you will get free shipping with amazon since your order is over $35, but it counts it in the price anyway.
