That's an old and low-end PC. Not intended for gaming.

It’s for my 14 year old. Only to play league of legends and maybe csgo. Would that be ok for him

dont buy that. calling that a gaming pc is a stretch at best. I dont believe that will run Minecraft at 30fps.
if youre looking for a very very cheap pc, I can help, but just a heads up, scratch this idea.

for a very cheap pc (under 300$ or so) buy a used pc with no graphics card, only a gen 4 or higher i5, slap a used 960 or 970, even a 1050. check that the powersupply on the used pc is atleast 450w or higher. I would suggest putting a 120gb ssd in there, even an 80gb one because hard drives are very very slow.

Do you have a budget and where are you located?

maybe. I would suggest getting what I recommended in the other comment. I can help you decide exact parts if you want. but I suggest not getting that

Just list your budget and someone will come up with a good system for you that will be upgradable. Sadly the one you said is End Of Line and will be difficult to upgrade.

 

[ozgirl31au]

I’m located on the central coast Australia

 

[ozgirl31au]

Sorry forgot to mention he only wants 280 for it..

 

[Wolfshadw]

The system you listed above would be enough to play CS:GO and League of Legends on low to medium settings. However, I probably wouldn't pay more than about $125AU for that system and ONLY if it included Windows.

If you have a budget in mind, we can see what we can do.

that is VERY over priced. go look somewhere else.

if about 300au is your budget, we can work with that and make a good pc.

 

[ozgirl31au]

Ok 300 is pretty much the budget.
Where are all u people located.
If you can let je know what to buy that would be so helpful
Thank you

I am not located in Australia thats for sure...
but I can help.

first question, do you have a problem buying used items?
and if you dont, do you know enough about computers to swap items inside?

 

[ozgirl31au]

Not at all, I built a pc with my older son so that wouldn’t be a problem

Australia have Amazon now and Newegg also ship here in Aus (prices included in Newegg.au site) if that makes it easier.

Also centrecom.com.au a local store i go to in the suburb of Sunshine. They have an online store as well and pretty good prices.

Msy.com.au is another and they have stores in NSW, not sure if they send online though, they might. Their prices are the same as centrecom's.

 

[boju]

Too ozgirl31au i was suggesting sites as options for those trying to help build you a pc or at least get prices.

 

[ozgirl31au]

Sorry I was pressing the arrows to give a like but I’m not familiar with this website, it wouldn’t let me change it, I’m sorry
Thank you very much for your response, it was very helpful
Do u know if u can change it..

 

[boju]
