Advice on workstation

[tkuhns]

Good afternoon,

I need some advice. I'm looking for a gaming pc and came across this and have a few questions. What do I need to consider when looking at this for gaming? I noticed that the vid card doesn't have hdmi output. Is there anything weird or special about a workstation in which I couldn't play games?

Any advice is welcome, thank you.

Forgot to mention that this is on Craigslist for $350. I'm trying to get it for $250.

idk about the gfx card, but otherwise it seems like a fine computer, although the graphics card is made for professional editing and creating, not gaming, so the performance might not be good, but if it's on lower res and detail it should work fine i guess, you can just experiment with it and see what works.
