good price, but there aren`t any information about motherboard . Maybe this detail isn`t good enough for playing modern computer games.Also,the model of the video card isn`t mentioned.
Although,it is the best variant for such a low price but you certainly should ask about details,

 

i found out that you get this video card with the PC

512MB ATI Radeon HD4550 Dual-Head Graphics Card



I also found out this but i'm no good at understanding it, but will this PC run Kag and say old games from before 2004?

I guess that games like KAG,Terraria,Minecraft will run. But games like Crysis will run only with low graphic adjustment.

 

do you mean 5 years old as been used for 5 years or the parts themselves are from 5 years ago?

 

Ok thanks for your help and time :)
