Would this Desktop be good for gaming ?

[universalgaming54]

Hey!

Im looking for a new computer to edit videos and maybe also play games on it , i found this Computer with a i5-7500 cpu , could i be able to use it for my daily use ?

Thanks!

Daily use, yes, gaming, not so much. With only 4gb of RAM and no dedicated GPU gaming is going to be pretty minimal such as FB games and some light app games.

 

[budgetgamer12345]

No i don´t even recommend this pc it is so low powered expensive *.
Build your own powerful PC and it is way more cheaper.

Thanks!

its not the best if i were you i would just build your own for what its worth because most desktops you buy from bestbuy are not the best for gaming that is just my opinion. you could game on it but you would need to upgrade the ram and if possible buy a gpu because intgrated gpus are not the best

What kind of gaming are we talking about, which games? Need specifics. Also, what is your monitor resolution and refresh rate?

 

[emileleboulch463]

If you were playing games like gmod or half life, that desktop would be ok, but for games that are gpu Relient i would not bother playing unless you upgrade your gpu

International, mismatched photos, and CPU generation and model number not specified? Refurbished?

USB dongle for WiFi suggests an older system without built-in wifi.

This is a terrible idea.

No a way more better idea, this seller has good rating.
And its way more cheaper that than crappy expensive * on BestBuy.
And EVEN if he is scammed he can do a claim and get his money back within 11 days.

Language, please. Thanks.

"BestBuy" suggests that the OP is in [strike]the US[/strike] Canada.
Your ebay links are from Europe.

Bad idea. In addition to many other issues with that particular system.

Thank you. I only want to help people.
But people like you only pay attention to language and then start to react stupidly instead of helping.
Now again with the problem:
Build your own gaming PC, it is really much cheaper.
If you do not know where to buy parts, ask me or search on YouTube or Google for more tips.
I hope that USAFret can understand me better now.

Edit:Lol i see now about the S word.
Sorry about my comment i thought about my bad grammar

 

[USAFRet]

I am "helping", by suggesting he not buy a "refurbished" desktop, with unknown cheesy parts, from an ebay seller in Europe.

There are dozens of people here who can whip up a viable parts list, from sources local to him in Canada.

As far as the language thing...that is part of my duties here as a Moderator.

[madmatt30]

The issue is canada

Tjat $650 cad prebuild only equates to around $420 US comparatively & that's not enough to build something capable of gaming.

Best I can do on a value level (tried to allow for tax if necessary) , doesn't include os

Well, I said sorry, I just want to help him, so please do not react to me again when it comes to this.

Then don't react badly when people point out the downsides and missing information to your suggestion.

Sorry, but no.
There is ZERO reason to buy into an old, poorly performing CPU line.

Because it has 8 cores? And it is still a beast in my opinion.

 

[USAFRet]

Yes, and everyone has an opinion. Doesn't make it right, though.

Number of cores is not the main factor.
Overall performance is.

madmatt30's Ryzen 3 build is much stronger, for the same price.
