Where I live someone is selling desktops for 300 a piece or 2 for 550. Here are the specs. They are 300 CANADIAN DOLLARS. NOT USD

Intel i-5 2500
4gb ram
Intel Desktop Board DQ67SW
AMD FirePRO V5900 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E x16 2.1 Professional Video Card
Windows 7 Professional 64bit Microsift Office 2013 Professional

Also does this support 2 cards?

and i know the parts are worth more than 300, but im just wondering what kind of an fps they would get on some games and what settings

Yes, The AMD FirePRO V5900 alone is 620.85 Canadian Dollars on amazon.

EDIT: The motherboard is very low-end and there isn't much ram. The GPU might be refurbished or second-hand.

Fire Pro isn't a gaming card, it is for multimedia work etc

So it wouldn't handle games well? What do you mean by multimedia and work?

It is second hand. The guy said he got them all off a company. They have been used. There are some pics so when I get home I'll add them to the original post and maybe someone can tell me how used they are since it looks a bit dusty and old

it may run games, but isn't designed to
but being a Fire Pro it could be worth a fair bit so selling it and getting say a 380 and a new {SU would be the best option
