Found this barebones kit and was wondering if the parts it contains would make a decent gaming computer... If you could give me your opinion with a scale of 1 to 10 on how good it would be for a low budget gaming pc i would appreciate it. The only thing i can see that it is missing is a graphics card which ill buy at a later date and the on board graphics seems to be decent for low settings.

No they will not make a good gaming computer.

3/10.

The onboard graphics aren't good enough to run most AAA games at 1080p, at more than lowest settings at 30fps, and some games won't play period.
When you add a decent GPU, the CPU will be a bottleneck for sure.
The PSU is 100% trash and I would NOT use it under any condition. It can easily fry the computer.

On a scale from 1-10 and considering the price I'd put it at a 4 (since its a low end APU). If you list a price theres plenty of ppl on this website including myself that could help you build a system from scratch that will outperform this system. Also you could still add a video card to this build but just make sure the cpu doesn't bottleneck the graphics card or vice-versa. It really depends on the games your playing if this build would be right for your needs.
