That PC wouldn't do you any favors. It'd be a waste since you'd really just have to upgrade every single component to play anything vaguely new.

Thanks a lot! Do you know anywhere to buy parts or a chassis that would do me some favors?

You'll end up spending $450+ to start to play AAA titles on low/medium settings.

We use PCpartpicker.com to compile parts lists.

Something like an AMD A10 would probably get you by until you get a better graphics card.

Don't waste your money, you can find those at your local dump.
