Those are horrible specs for the price, worth maybe $250. Such an old CPU with a nearly worthless graphics card.

Looks like you get DDR3 memory no matter what so guaranteed older components no matter what. Pass on this. It is a gamble and the "best" possible option still isn't worth $500.

Not sure how much RX550 with "...serviceable 1080p performance..." (C) Tom's hardware) may cost nowadays, wouldn't surprised me if it's worth something, but the rest of specs... Recently Acer i5 11th gen, 8gb, 512ssd m2, DVD drive was listed for $290. So I would say in $100-150 range at best? If anyone need 2nd gen at all...

since 16GB DDR3 is a locked spec, this means the latest CPU you can get is around 5th-6th gen Intel CPU. Current Intel CPU is 12th gen. I think that pretty much sum it all. You are looking at 6-10 years old PC. Even if it's 6 yrs old gaming PC, it is not worth $450.

WARNING: Do not buy. Do not share. This is as close to a scam as you can get, preying on the ignorant.

Someone, please take this post down.

Who in their right mind actually purchases a "random" gaming pc. These are probably dell optiplex workstations that just so happen to have a gpu in them... hardly "gaming" level.

That must be a typo. Core -7 2600? That's over 10 years old.
