Hey guys, I'm a console gamer (I know) and I'm looking to purchase my first pc, I have some money and time so I'm not rushed into getting one, but I found one on facebook market place. It's $500, and here are the specs: Specs:
AMD FC 8320 Eight core processor; 3.50 GHz
16 GB ram

Realtek High Definition Audio Speakers

HP Pavilion 22cw IPS LED Backlit monitor

USB Gaming mouse and gaming keyboard

-okay, so after you guys saw that, I was wondering if I could get some reviews from experienced pc gamers, on whether or not this is a good build. Like I stated earlier, I'm a complete noob on pc specs and all of that. I do play first person shooters like rainbow six siege, which would probably be my main game. I would just like some opinions on whether or not this would be a good buy, and if it's able to run high quality graphics.

The FX line is dead and the FX cores are slow, not good for gaming.
There are no worthwhile upgrades available for that line.

The specs do not list the graphics card which is the most important component for fast action games.

I would pass.

If you want to play on high, these are the recommended requirements:


CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz or better, AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core @ 2.6Ghz or better
CPU SPEED: Info
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 64 bit, Windows 10 64 bit
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 / R9 280x (2GB VRAM)
SOUND CARD: Yes
FREE DISK SPACE: 47 GB



That system may be ok, but you'd need to buy a GPU for it(at least one listed above or better)

$500?
No, for a couple of reasons.

1. The FX-8320 is old old old.

2. No actual info on the rest of the parts

3. "I'm a complete noob on pc specs and all of that. " Do you know what to look for in a used system? Does it work properly? Do you know how to test it?
No, you don't.
