Gotta say, that seems really expensive for hardware that is between 10 to 13 years old and wasn’t even high-end when it was new.
I mean the GT730 was considered a low end GPU back in 2014 when it launched.
The supposed before price is utter bullshit at least, no way that system was ever worth £530 in 2024.

This pc is legit worse than a ps4
JoeThrilling
On the positive side, you didn’t pay for it.
Vlad_T
If the purpose of the PC is internet browsing, emails, watching Youtube, movies etc. then it’s overpayed since you could get some Dell Optiplex for way less money than that.
Runiat
That’s literal e-waste. I genuinely wouldn’t use it if someone gave it to me for free.
But that’s because I pay for my own electricity. Assuming the person that bought it for you also buys your electricity, there are plenty of emulators and older games that’ll run just fine on it… just maybe wait until winter when having it double as a space heater is a good thing.

If you buy a few more of those, you can open up a museum!
ApprehensiveAd6476
No.
picardo85
Someone over paid, imho.

My thoughts? Don’t ever let that person handle in money ever again
RaEyE01
Not to be ungrateful for a present(?), but given prices and alternative, this most likely is not a very good deal.
Depending on the situation in which you received this gift, you might want to speak with the gifter.
Current generations of miniPCs with AmD or Intel processors and an iGPU are potentially more powerful, energy efficient and are technically uptodate.
For ~265£ you can get a pretty decent Beelink minipc that outperforms this one in all categories. And is as big as 1/2 a shoebox.
This of course requires you to be in a region of this world where such offers are available.
This one for example is available for 329£ plus a 50£ voucher, so in total 279£:
That gt730 is literal dogwater . At least try to get a gtx1650 or rx 500 series at least . And that i7 is also not too good , consider ryzen processors
Jhawk163
It will probably have trouble with even watching youtube.
RevolutionaryCarry57
Man, I hate to say that this is a prime example of why people should do their fucking research. Like, obviously I don’t want to give you a bad impression of their gift. I mean, it was thoughtful of them. But they really wasted their money here by not knowing what they were doing.
ManIkWeet
Scam, a raspberry pi 5 is probably better than this
nailbunny2000
Who bought this for you and why?
faroukq
With that money you can build a proper modern PC. If they bought it then let them try to refund it. If this is just a similar spec then you can play light games on it
Wonderful_Boat_9155
E waste unfortunately. Try to return
Eggsegret
It’s basically e-waste at this point.
I mean it’s fine for general PC use like browsing the web but for gaming it’s pretty dated and low spec.
But at least you never paid for it
Hattix
I could have given you better than that for around £50-100.
Was working on an i5-3570K with the son as his first build at 10 years old. Has a GTX 680 in it.

EBay pre-builts are always shit, especially this one.
AK_4_Life
Terrible price
TorturedPoet03
Well… what to say. First of all, it’s heavily overpriced. And it would only be good for surfing and browsing.
Classic-Leek356
They bought e-waste for you. Im sorry
The_Crimson_Hawk
It is waste, hope you enjoyed getting ripped off

They got scammed
ComplexJoker
I’m so sorry
Accomplished_Tip3597
Wow that’s ancient hardware for way too much money. What are you planing to do with that? It can’t even run some recent applications
RelativeWrong4232
Plz retun or cancel this , you can get a ryzen 5 5500 with a rx 6600 for around 300£ used or a 12100f with a 2060 or 6600 something like that
Frosty_Replacement12
You can actually build better for the same price: used R5 3600 and RX 580. Someehat limiting, but it gets the job done way better than a more than a decade old GT 730 and a 2nd gen i7.
FatBrookie
10 years ago the CPU was lit.
The GPU was always worse than trash
ICastCats
Next time get a PC without a GPU for under 150 GBP and buy your own 120 GBP low profile GPU.
likeonions
oof
eI0k
Oh my, that price. It’s just a scam at this point.
FeetYeastForB12
uhhhhhhhhh..
Repulsive_Response99
I literally have spare parts collecting dust for the last 10 years in the closet that are on par or better… just checked it’s a 2600k and gtx660 so cpu same and gpu better.
HobbyistRPG
Why didn’t he post this before he bought this like he could have had such a better pc for the price…🫣Sorry bro but you got scammed 🫡
Tyr_Kukulkan
Basically an eBay scam. That is so old and not worth the price paid. I’ve sold higher spec systems through eBay for a lot less.
Edit: That reminds me, I should put my old 4790K system up for sale.
neremarine
This pc is not worth the data atorage that hoated this site, and not worth the bandwidth we all used to view this image.
forsayken
The person buying it doesn’t know anything about computers. Being a gift, I have no idea how you could politely tell them to cancel this as it’s literal e-waste at this point.

I‘m assuming UK, given the £.
Honestly this looks like glorified E-Waste
