That would do just fine. But how much are you paying for it? How used is it?

 

[speed_ga]

he said he built it in march this year. and the price is 600. But i'm trying to get him down to 550.

i have seen pics of case and components. All look new.

 

[b1gapl]

hmmm....Not bad I suppose.

Those specs are pretty cheap for $600. And yes, it's a good build for decent gaming. By decent, I mean it might be able to/might not be able to play future games. If you plan on playing these upcoming games that is about to be released, look into a new GPU.

sorry for being such a newb....but what is a GPU?

and I see you have the westinghouse 19" I was thinking of buying one at best buy for 150.00 do you like it?

Graphics Processing Unit, also known as Graphics Card/VGA/GPU/GFX/etc.

I love it! The Westinghouse looks great and it works wonderfully. Thing is, a week after I got it, I saw a pixel that I was thought was a dead one, but a few days later, it just disappeared.
