Hey everyone, and merry christmas!

I'm wanting to know if this desktop is worth its price http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&l angid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10069574&catid= It's in Canadian dollars, but about $428 American. I know theres no graphics card, but I can easily upgrade that. Another question is will it run todays games well? (considering I add a decent graphics card)

You'll have to upgrade a bit on RAM too, I think. Count for 150-200 $ for a video card and I think it'll be ok. Donno fro prices, it seems quite allright for me Wink.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

The spec's don't look that bad. When your going for gaming make sure and look for PCI express which I noticed that system has. Another thing to look for is max ram. That system max's at 2 gb which is plenty. So as far as system spec's go its a good machine.


Word of advice. If you buy the machine totally wipe it when first get it. Install a downloaded copy of Windows from the internet(or a boxed version of windows). Make sure and use the same version as the computer comes with so you can use your key. That way you don't get all the extra manufactuer's crap.

I did that to my computer and it runs WAY faster now.

Cheap and good.


It's one or the other, never both.
