So I recently found this pc ( you probably wont understand but there you go) :https://desktop.bg/grigs-siegfried-siegfried_2_rookie

And I am thinking to buy it but first I wanted to know if I can play modern games on it.

Specs:
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A68M-HD+
CPU: AMD Athlon 880K
GPU: XFX Radeon RX 460 Double Dissipation (4GB GDDR5)
RAM: 8GB - DDR3, 1600MHz
Hard Disk- 1TB 3.5" 7200 rpm
OS - Windows 10 64 bit

I looks like they also have an Intel version on that page that appears to have better specs for gaming at the same price...

Pentium G4560
GTX 1050 Ti (4GB GDDR5)
8GB DDR4 2400MHz

That Intel processor is on also on a current-generation socket, so it should have the potential to accept higher-end processors as well, if you ever decide to upgrade. It may only be dual core, but the G4560 has much more per-core performance, and also hyper-threading, allowing even its four-thread performance to outperform the 880k...

Likewise, the 1050 Ti is a higher performance, and usually higher-priced card than the RX 460...

Probably not. That CPU is fairly old, so CPU intensive games like GTA5 won't work terribly well. The graphics card isn't awful or anything, but it would have some trouble with games like Witcher III on medium.

It all really depends on the game though. What games are you looking to play?

CS:GO, Assassin's creed unity, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, For Honor, Minecraft ( just kidding xD ), Battlefield 4,3 and maybe 1 if you say it runs and pretty much that kind of games. Not really new games, I mostly want an upgrade cause I play games like cs:go with 20-25 fps on low 640x480.

The site has Kaby Lake Pentium builds, starting also at 999 leva with 1050/1050ti/1060 options. I'd much rather have a Kaby Lake budget build than one on an older platform with no upgrade path. With a Kaby Lake build, you could continue to upgrade build, as you'd have access to all the Kaby Lake CPUs and thus be able to justify a GPU upgrade in the future, as well.

This pc costs 500$ ( 1000 levas in my country (Bulgaria)). That's my budget. It's a bit low but that's the only money I could get because of FRICKIN school !

I don't really want to upgrade. I don't want to play games on ULTRA on 1080p. I just want to play like 1-2 hours every 2 days. Something like that, don't take me wrong, I'm a huge gamer but time is limited and the money that I get to collect will go for college. (maybe xD (probably))
But thanks for the advice :)

I can't see any deficiency in the Intel version of the computer, although I can't actually read the page, so I might be missing something. : D

Even if you don't upgrade, I'd rather have the 4560 build.

Thank you so much! I will the Intel one. I watched some benchmarks and i was amazed. When i saw that it was a dual core I just skipped it. Thank you guys!

The confusion probably stems from older Pentiums, which were strictly dual-cores. In the newest lines, the Pentiums now have hyperthreading, putting the new Pentiums in about the same class as the older i3s, so you see the new Pentiums recommended a lot more than any Pentiums made in the last decade.

One other thing I just noticed that might be worth pointing out... These systems might not come with Windows installed for the 999 price. Again, I don't speak the language, but using an online translator on the expanded specs further down the page, it looks like they have the option to add a copy of Windows, but I don't think that's included in the base price. I guess they might do that in case you already have a copy you can install, or if you want to pick up a key for Windows elsewhere or something.

As for whether this system can handle games, yes, it should handle most modern games reasonably well at medium settings, and many older or less-demanding games can probably be turned up on high, especially if you're playing at resolutions below 1080p.

Yes I do know about that. I have a windows 8.1 cd key. I will just use the non-activated version or i might buy a key from kinguin. But thank you for taking time to help. :)
