Some of these parts came out 14 years ago. I guess it’s the bare possible minimum to run Win11, but calling it a „Gaming PC“ is just … no. Even using it as an office PC would be a waste of money in my opinion. For that money I’ll build you a way better one.
Am I tripping here or is that a blatant ripoff? Customer was looking for a entry-level gaming pc for his grandchild. Sent me the link to this.

Anything from the FX era should not be considered at all. That Athlon is so sad.
Amazon. The new scambay.
Illegal that’s basically a windows key with a free bit of waste 🤣🤣🤣
Gaming pc for like games from what 2007
” should I buy this it’s only 400″
Me “no”
“Why not”
Me “I would save up and not buy garbage”
“I will buy it it’s all the money I have and I need a PC tomorrow”
Me “enjoy’
Better than I thought, I saw X4 950 and thought they were selling a Phenom II LOL.
Funny enough, the althlon x4 950 was released on socket am4 in 2017. That being said, selling this for more than $100 is a rip off.
basically 250 for a case and a windows key
Well even if the GPU is awful for gaming and the CPU is unheard of they atleast gave 16GB DDR4 RAM which is better than the usual 8GB DDR3
Considering if you know where to get to go, you can get a Windows key for 20 bucks. This is mostly worthless.
It clearly is a fine gaming pc. I mean look at all that RGB. /s
They had to mention MS Office in the title because that’s all it can run.
Chinese ewaste computer.
old computer put in a new case.
gt 730 is not for gaming. its just to get you video to monitor for web browsing
[https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-002N-00085?Item=3D5-002N-00085&SoldByNewegg=1](https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-002N-00085?Item=3D5-002N-00085&SoldByNewegg=1) buy something like this. and then save up for a graphic card. the igpu can game on low settings in most games 1080p or 720p.
For $250, if it can play Stardew Valley and a YouTube video at the same time, I’d consider that a win. Gaming? No, but for $250 what do you expect?
I’m surprised that thing can run Windows 11
Dont think it even supports Win11.
The CPU isn’t on the list at least – [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors)
If it comes with Win11, my guess is that it would be circumventing ***a lot*** of the requirements, probably wont be very stable and probably wont be able to update either.
Well… it has lights and fans and rgb and fans and lights with rainbow rgb lights with fans 🤩
Gaming PC if your game is The Oregon Trail.
And 50 people bought one in the last month, damn.
You can play Minesweeper, can’t you??!!!
It has RGB gaming, that puts you at the top of all gamers. It’s a fair price.
Lol, the word ‘amazon’ should be the huge red flag on that one.
Careful out there, shady sellers on amazon are getting crazy. So much so, I have cancelled my subscription. It’s just horrible.
Those specs cant even be right. GDDR4 would never be system RAM, with that CPU it would be DDR3, the GT 730 uses GDDR5 though. Win11 wouldnt even run on this machine, though I could see some sorcery being possible to make it work.
But I dont think those are mistakes. They just filter out the potential customers with half a brain, so the ones who buy it are too stupid to know anything is wrong with it and wont complain or demand refunds.
I kinda wondered how this chip has DDR4 memory.
But that thing is a Bristol Ridge so basically Piledriver FX
If you want a 10 minute youtube buffer pos be my guess
It has RGB? Gaming PC.
I’d love to know how they got 16 GB of GDDR in their pc.
And a DDR5 gpu…
Gaming laptops can be far better spec wise for that price, even slightly old/used ones. Amazon is such a back alley market
At least you can play Doom on it…then again you can play Doom on a calculator which would be cheaper.
This is definitely not a gaming PC.
But OTOH what do you expect, you get what you pay for, it’s only 250 euros.
And I run Windows 11 on two mini PCs with worse specs and it’s actually fine for anything except games. We pretty much plateued hardware-wise for general desktop use a decade ago at least.
Dude, it come with G Data internet security? What a steal!
Anything that has “gaming” in the name is a massive red flag.
With 2GB of DDR5 RAM. Yeah, ok. If you say so.
Pac-Man is a game
If it has RGB lighting, it’s obviously a gaming pc
The place I used to work used to sell “Fortnite” machines.
They thought they were great because they were i3s. With some of the cheapest GPUs I’ve ever seen
3rd gen’s in 2018/9. Like sure, they could play Fortnite, but Fortnite wasn’t playable
The LED lights probably cost 50% of the price tag
“16GB GDDR4”
thats seller is ironically selling it
Add 3 cheap as fuck RGB fans in a glass sided case and call it a gaming pc haha
Read it, chuckled, almost clicked away and then I realised something….
I don’t believe there is a single Athlon CPU that supports Windows 11.
