A friend of mine wanted to buy this computer, but looking up the graphics card, the reviewer said it wasn't a good gaming card. I paid 695€ for my pc and this one seems cheap... i'm doubtfull

what do you think?

edit:
This one is also an option

And thanks again, i really appreciate your efforts :)

The GPU is a pretty low end card, definitely not what you'd want for gaming. Also, did you notice that it only comes with a trial of Windows 7? That means you're going to have to buy/use your own OS with it.

In general, I'd say stay away from eBay for new computers/parts. However this guy has some ridiculously good feedback, so you might be safe.

Have you priced out the parts individually? Odds are you can build it yourself cheaper if you're up to it.

Yes, the gpu was my main concern, looking up some reviews made clear that it's a budget one, not built for gaming.
And yes, the windows 7 trial, i already have a dvd here, so that ain't a problem ^^

Yes, I'm willing to assemble it for my friend, i'll look op the parts now

edit: you are right, i looked it up and found out if i did it myself, i'd spare 10€

But what would be a good pc for 350-400€?

Is it possible to assemble a good pc for 500€ or less? Being able to play the latest games on decent. I'm looking on this website: http://alternate.be

Is the Nvidia gtx 460 still a good choice for graphics card?
