Is this setup powerful enough?

Well, I saw this deal:
The machine is about 650 USD
The specs are:
Intel Core i7-3770 (the seller says it'q an 8-core CPU, I thought i7's were only quads)
1000 GB HDD
4GB DDR3 RAM
S-1155 Asrock Mobo
Integrated graphics card

I know it's very weak, but I'm planning to have the video card replace and make it at least have an
8 GB of RAM.

I only would run games on an 1366 x 768 monitor, I'm not gonna use much AA (2x at most)
What video card should I have on it? I'm a little tight on Budget, my max would be around 200 $

Will it survive until until PS4 is replaced by PS5? Without upgrading that is.

Thanks :)

(My moms gonna buy the pre-built unit, I'll buy the Videocard and the RAM)

I would've thought the Philippines would be cheaper than even the US.

3770 is the same as 3770k with respect to cores. And these CPUs are 3rd generation. We're now using 4th generation CPUs eg 4770k,

So you'd need a Power Supply, Operating System (?) and DVD player. I don't think it's a bargain. Can you look at ads on the internet - eBay, Amazon, etc? I think you should try to compare prices from other sources.

Maybe if you're really desperate you could buy a PC from Australia lol. eBay has them from China. Check the satisfaction ratings though.

The 3770k is quad core with each core having two logical cores (threads). No-one knows the release date of PS5 - just guess 2 years. Depends how p***ed off you get with it.

For $650 you could do a lot better. Is there a DVD writer with it? How old is it? What Power Supply comes with it?

Have a look at some of the $650 builds here. Just Google '$650 build Tom's'

as far as I know i5-i7 all models have 4 cores. you can try build your own pc. $1=44 pesos so (650x44=28600). at that price you can build a better pc.
