So I'm starting pc gaming and I have a tight budget so I wonderd if this was any good?

AMD fx_series_quad_core_fx_4100 Processor 3.6GHz (4MB Cache) 8 GB DDR3 RAM. 1024gb 7200rpm Hard Drive. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
 
CPU is kinda old, and Windows 7 is already half-a-decade old.

What's your budget and did you already buy these parts?
 
That CPU sucked when it came out 3 years ago so I definitely wouldn't recommend it!

Look instead at the FX-4300 (it was an improvement) or better still an FX-6300 or an Intel Core i3.
