Hello
So I got the offer from a friend, telling me i can have his old pc the one that i mentioned for 100 Euro's.
Now i'm struggling to make a descision because it looks like a good pc, but at the same time i think it will be too much of a pain.
I feel like if i get a better gpu the cpu will become a bottle nek for the gpu so i'm stuck at this point.
Do i buy it yes or no?
I want to use it for gaming, games like apex, gta, rocket lueageu, valorant, and many many more basicly games that need good hardware to be able to run good.
If i buy it what gpu should i buy?
Also will the cpu become a bottle nek for the gpu?
Howmuch will i hafto spend, so is it really worth it?
If i wanted to would I even be able to get a better cpu?
Also does it matter that the pc has ddr3 ram sticks?
(also i get a screen with it its not the best but ok) (current gpu is: geforce gtx 770)
It would be a great help if someone could give me a couple anwsers!
Thanks already!

Hello
Difficult to find the characteristics of this model
I advise you to simply test it
For 100 € it can be worth it
I found this info, and if it is, it is a good configuration there may be some negative points
but without modifying anything you should be able to use some games
As for replacing components, it may be limited
If you want a good configuration you will have to spend a good amount of money, but preferably in a completely different computer
Frankly if it works, for 100 € take it it can help you out
but to make it evolve, I don't think it's the best thing to do
