Will it play GTA IV, minecraft and similar games?
And is Gateway a good company that lasts for a long period of time with fairly heavy use, (YouTUbe, Face book, Internet browsing and gaming and turned on all day)

Is $489 too much, just right or am i getting a good deal here?

It has 10GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD, AMD A6 2.0GHz Quad (not sure on exact model) DVD drive, Integrated speakers, AMD Raedon 8400, a card reader, Windows 8, USB 3.0's, with wifi, Gateway, and a 1 year warranty, and is re certified. (basically a used computer)

The actual computer model itself is Gateway DX4375-EW20

I would say it is not worth $500

this would be a worthy $500 computer, even has a OS
