What do you guys think about this PC?

[DeclanDornstauder]

I intend on making a cheap temporary build for my friend that can run older, and non graphic intensive games. I'm purchasing the parts locally, and I just wanted to see your guy's opinions on the parts.

GPU: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-desktop-computers/regina/evga-nvidia-geforce-gt-740-sc-2-gb-graphic-card/1162201110

I've managed to lower the price of the graphics card to $80.

It doesn't say, but the PC has a 300w PSU. I only got $10 off the PC.


Thanks for any feedback.

What generation of i3 is it?

The GPU is way overpriced, you won't have much luck gaming with that. A used 750Ti or R9 270X run at around that price. i3 will hinder a lot of the power, and you only have a 160GB HDD with no listed speed. Not much room for an OS, applications, games, ect. I would personally just have him save more, and buy used online. With the new line of Nvidia GPU's and Intel CPU's launching this Summer, the prices will definitely drop. I'll see if I can find some prices and come back to you.

Keep in mind that the prices are Canadian, so the GPU would normally sell for somewhere around $140-160 CAN. Im getting it for $80
