Hi a friend is selling a custom built desktop just wanted your opinions before I buy today,

CiT Vantage Case
Intel i5 3570K
4 GB RAM
500GB Hardrive
Intel Graphics ATM

I look to slowly add to this overtime adding SSD, RAM, Stand alone GPU

The price is 340

What do you think? I know I could save building my own but I reckon this aint a bad price for the specs. Let me know guys be honest but fair im not a millionaire!

Cheers Greig

Or here's a better and more practical idea. Save up money by not buying this machine and buy all new brand new more reputable parts yourself so you know what you're getting.

By the way, you listed like half of the specifications.

If your set on buying this pc then I can't argue that, but if you do buy it, I'd say the first thing you need to upgrade is to a gfx card. If you could come up with another $100, you can get a pretty decent card that will run the basics of games. Save up another $40 and get you some new RAM. 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3. If you get those 2 things, you should be set, IF everything else you didn't list on the computer is good.
