    is this gaming pc too good to be true for the price?

    The price is decent for the listed configuration and for a refurbished, I wouldn't advise paying more than $550 for an average consumer (not able or used or willing to build their own rig) as it's far from being a beast is about entry level gaming, it has graphic card in a fancy vertical...
