Hi,
Actually, you appear to have purchased a computer with an AMD APU that is 3.9GHz. We just don't know the model.

An APU has both the CPU and GPU in the same package. The best APU's can do some medium gaming, but usually a $100 graphics card is much better than the GPU inside the APU.

You appear to have either the:
a) A6-6400K, or
b) A8-6800K

The A6 is a very weak APU for gaming, and the A8 is adequate for light/medium gaming depending.

4GB DDR3 should be adequate for you, though in your case with an APU you share that with the GPU. Also, if the frequency of the DDR3 memory is too low the GPU may be throttled. For example, if it was 1333MHz memory you might get 60% of the performance you SHOULD be getting.

I assume you can change...

I don't understand what you are saying about Ebay (it shows shipping methods/fees and you clicked "commit to buy" without knowing if you wanted it), were the shipping charges higher than expected?

There is too little information in the description to know what you have bought. No CPU or GPU model. RAM is low, HDD is tiny by today's standards, CPU could be one of several 4 core AMD processors, I'm suspecting FX-4300 possibly, no idea of mobo, but I expect very low end.

It's a bit like asking; "I've bought a white car with an engine, is it any good?"

sorry but that is all it specifies the rest is in the description which comes with a lot of other crap and I don't want to put that useless information. but I was trying to see what the tax fee would be and around how long it would take for it to be shipped. It had standard shipping but i thought you could choose different shipment methods.

I assume you can change the amount of shared memory so I recommend no more than 1024MB (1GB).

*So you just need to find out what APU you have (try CPU-Z, or GPU-Z, or Google how to find the APU model) then you Google benchmarks.

My advice is grab a Torchlight 2 demo and see how it works for starters.

My advice if you want a little better gaming is buy a Graphics Card. This is the one I recommend: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx750tioc2gd5

It would be a MASSIVE improvement over what you have now. If you have a 6-pin PCIe adapter on the Power Supply you can handle this card. If it's not overclocked it may work fine with your PSU if it's at least 300W but I can't guarantee that.
