So im going to build a gaming PC but my friend is trying to sell me a PC with two Xeon X5450 and a GTX 570 and i asked him what kind of gaming performance does he get he said that he has not gamed on it, so is it a good pc for $156.55? And what kind of gaming performance would i get from the PC?

Thanks in advance!

The cpus are from 2007, but, are quad-core 3 Ghz processors....; if you double check that your MB supports PCI-Express graphics, and doubkle check that your price was not off by a power of ten ($156???), then , I'd go for it at that price regardless of it's gaming ability.

Uhhh for 159 bucks thats a good deal. You know at that price its decent if its dead tbh. If its 1500 now, its different. Its not gonna be a gaming optimised system but throw in a new graphics card and you should be fine. If you were going to build one cpu is the way to go but for this price go for it

Yes, he is offering it to me for 156$. But i care if i can game on it, i mean like really game on it not like that i get 2 FPS on minecraft and on low settings.
And if i buy it what would be the best GPU for it and because it has two 4 core CPU's would it mean that if some game supported 8 cores it would run like heaven on that PC?

Maybe, I don't know if games will like dual cpus but for 156 bucks its a good deal (if it works). A 570 is still a decent card but you could put a 970 or 980 in there and it should be good.

I dont know mate, not a lot of gaming benchmarks out there for dual xeon systems and they are not optimised for gaming. I dont know what you mean with the bottleneck but i doubt a dual core xeon system will bottleneck a 970 card. You should be fine and for $156 even if it plays games like its wading through molasses its not going to matter.
