That's pretty good. It might have some trouble in some newer games, but that's still great for a free PC.

Yeah my brother got a new one and gave me this one. Is there a certain part I should look to upgrade in the future first? I don't know a whole lot about computers.

Not bad at all for free. The CPU is extremely dated and might hold you back some, but hey free is free. The rest sounds great.

Maybe the processor, but it's possible that your brother might have overclocked the CPU to make it faster. The main issue is the motherboard night not accept newer CPU chips like Ryzen, so you need to look up the motherboard to see what is compatible.

I used to have that processor, and upgraded to a FX-8320. It's not the best CPU and probably not worth getting now since Ryzen is out. My FX-8320 and GTX 1060 6GB can mostly play games on high. I think the newest game I played was Nioh and it ran at 60fps.

I have this in Black. Or was it 995? I think it was 995.

Anyway, I bought it in 2010.

It is pretty good for a free system. The processor is dated and is on par with a Core 2 Quad.

Anyone know of a way to see what games I could run? I remember the can you run it website from a long time ago but I've always heard that it was unreliable. I guess the newest game I'd want to play would be Street Fighter 5.

This is one major reason I was never a big PC gamer.

Not only is it hard to determine if one brand's card is better than the one listed in the requirements, which is a different brand, but if you ask anybody about these sites they'll tell you they don't work.

So screw it. The funky upside-down red J with the other J's going off to the sides on the game box matches the one on the system. No homework or guesswork.

Well, it used to be that way anyway. Before they decided they needed a NEW 3DS specification so now Xenoblade whatever only works on some 3DS's and who even knows if the did the same thing with Pro/X. Now I just don't play any new games anymore. Easy.

maybe if this were 10 years ago, sure

but ive never run into a game i couldn't play. even if i have to play on low/medium. it all runs. games just aren't that demanding these days, and if they are, they are super efficient and run great on all systems.

unless you're blizzard and you stopped caring.

also ive noticed a lot of console games running like shit these days. lots of crashes too. but maybe thats just cuz of the early access / beta mentally the industry has these days.

Ended up getting Street Fighter 5 just to see and on medium settings I'm getting a consistent 60 fps so I'm satisfied with it.
