[SOLVED] Was this a good deal?

[Daddy4Traps]

I just purchased a gaming PC at my local pawn shoppe for $427 and I wanted to know if I got a good deal or not. Plus I need a little help with some of the specs lol.

It has.

250GB SSD

3-4TB HDD

AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.3GHz

AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series.

Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8190MB RAM - Does this mean that I have 16GB RAM?

Also it shows the AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series with
Display Memory: 4851 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1011 MB
Shared Memory: 3840 MB

How many GB is this graphics card? I looked it up and I keep seeing that it's a 1GB graphics but it looks like it has more then 1GB.

Thank you in advance.

If you have the opportunity to say no or take it back, do so.

Why did you say that? I already bought the PC and I don't know if they do returns.

That is a 200-250 dollar pc. You paid way too much.

It's a pretty bad deal, though just how bad depends on what the GPU actually is. It's a 1 GB card since only the dedicated memory is what counts. Even with a 1 GB 6870, the best option here, this is at most a $300 PC and that's if it has legitimate Windows, an OKish motherboard from the time, and a decent power supply.

I just downloaded CPU-Z and it says that it has a GA-880GM-D2H mainboard also It came with Windows 10 Pro they gave me a key code for a fresh install.

But I didn't just get the PC it also came with a 24" FHD monitor and a CORSAIR - K55 keyboard and mouse.

Honestly if I can play SIms 4, GTA V and Postal 4 then I'm good. If I canI'll end up upgrading the graphics card later on.

Oh and it has 2 Blu-ray burners.

Not the worst deal ever, though still hardly good (and I'd be skeptical of a Windows key a pawn shop just happened to have, 99% of the time that's a cheapo once they downloaded that might get blacklisted in 6 months). Still don't know your exact GPU or power supply.

Honestly, you could've found a $125 refurbished i5-2400, slapped in a new 1650 Super with a full warranty for $160, and it would run have run rings around this build.

Only you know if you actually have a use for a couple of used Blu-Ray burners.
