Hi guys,

I'm trying to get into PC gaming and don't want to shell out too much for a beginner gaming PC, the guy at the store recommended the 'HP 500-141ea'.

Does anyone know if its a decent PC or if he was trying to rip me off?

Would it play indie games like Outlast, Gone home maybe even a little Battlefield4?

I need some serious help on this.

Can't say if he's ripping you off as you didn't include a price.

The system only includes a Radeon HD8470 graphics card; which no gamer here would consider even close to being a decent card.
The system only includes a 300 watt power supply, so adding a better card would likely also require adding a new power supply.
The system is a Socket FM2/AMD APU A8-6500 which has it's own graphics capabilities. If HP is selling the system with a discrete graphics card installed, then why in the world would they use an AMD APU for a processor? It makes no sense.

Too many things are wrong with this system and while I cannot confirm this, I'd say the salesman is just trying to get rid of these types of systems.
