I know the system's chip is from 2005, but the rest of the gear seems pretty good for a gaming system. I'm hoping a system guru might give me some pro's and con's to buying this system to use on current games and applicatons like Adobe Photoshop etc.. Thanks!

Answer 1

if it were me...i would never buy a computer system for less than 2500

Answer 2

Well unfortunately i am no guru, but I can tell you what that is a pretty good buy. I wish I had it. If the price is right I would say its good.

Answer 3

Well, that is a fairly low-end computer set-up for todays standards and games. I wouldn't think it would go for much more than about 250.00 or less. The graphics card is brand new though, and the sound card is pretty good. You can definitely find a whole lot better if you have the money though, believe me.
