Save your money and buy something a little better. If you do you'll feel a lot better when you don't have to go out to purchase ram or another HDD. 80gb isn't that big for HDD space. Yes $170 is cheap but it's not that great of a computer. Eventually you'll probably want to play newer games other than what it can run.
It'll run twitch streams, call of duty and dayZ but it'll probably be on fairly low graphics, with slow frames per second.

Slightly better, but you probably should stay away from Dell computers, they have tendency to break down after 2 years as well as become overly slow.

charlieboy, you'd be better off building your own computer with such a small budget. It is very simply and after watching maybe a 5 minute video tutorial you'd know how to do it. If you post your full budget with currency, we could direct you to what parts you'd want to order to get an optimal experience and the best bang for your buck. Trust me, you save money and gain performance if you custom build, 100% of the time.

Im sorry, but I laughed a bit on the first one and second one. The third one is alot better than the first two but you wont be able to anything really because of intels HD graphics. If you have $250, i suggest you save about $200-$250 more to get yourself some decent parts. My build cost me about $480, but thats because i bought a bunch of refurbished items and also it was a black friday sale. I say without the sale it would have cost like $530. It can play Skyrim without mega graphic mods on ultra and the same with BFBC2. Sorry about rambling about mine, you get the basic idea that you should save up and you can get something really good.
