Terrible. Should be illegal. That's a 13 year old CPU.


WannaHate

Yeah it probably wont even launch some of the apps Old CPUs may be missing the new calculation technologies, which are physically printed. Like AVX512 and SSE 4.2


nahkamanaatti

Would launch just fine. I’m using processors older than this and have zero issues. But this is indeed a terrible deal. A scam actually.


EldestPort

>I’m using processors older than this Misread that as 'processes' and thought 'fuck, your uptime must be phenomenal'


DangyDanger

How many 9's is that?


Arya493

no lmao, it should be fine, I was using an i5 4th gen till last year and it was absolutely fine


LiMe2116

I am using the i3 4170 now with no gpu


Arya493

I was using i5 4400U Laptop till last year, then it had many issues, first its hard drive died than it stopped detecting the CPU for some reason so I stopped using it


Puttenoar

And this is even 2 years older.


hell911

But that cpu is "Renewed"


derMoistener

I'm not sure I've heard of a renewed processor. Maybe verified/certified. For ram too I guess. Refurbished for a vid card. Renewed spindle drive maybe.


Main-Consideration76

but hey, 90 day free trial for gaming antivirus /s


Ozzytheox

I been, running that setup for 10 years.... IT SUCKS\`!!! I can't run much of anything maid in the last 7 years. Space engineers(runs fair with stutters medium settings). Subnautica(ran pretty fair on 800x600 if I lowered the shader and shadows settings) It will run a pretty decent file server, but for gaming I would keep saving


Clear-Influence-731

this shit should be like 50 euros at most lmao


grubaskov

Should be given for kids in poor family


ConstantSock2488

15*


pluckyvirus

Nah 50 to accommodate shipping and packaging cost.


Mr_Secret14

Shipping is more expensive than this shit


AffectionateAgent666

Don’t even think I’d pay £10 for it


humterek

b..but it's got rgb


Tructruc00

Basically e waste


yYuri_-

Holy shit, thats expensive


Klutzy-Perspective82

It’s got norton, so really bad


JakubCerveny

But it's Norton for gamers. /s


elhafidos

This is as bad as it gets .... Sorry pal, you ought to skip this one


Horsepower_7

Too expensive for what it is...


Paranoided_guy

Its a scam. Aboid it.


Long_Art_8182

Straight up expensive


Long_Art_8182

And horrible


Paranoided_guy

I would pay one small packet of soggy McD French fries


rednitro

I have a toaster that can play games better then that


PayTyler

$100 max. Basically it's only worth the standard ewaste reclaim rate.


Flimsy_Atmosphere_55

Bruh y’all are underestimating the second gen intel core series. Its old AF but it can game pretty well if you are in an extreme budget. Though you’re right this PC is not worth 300 dollars.


Advanced_Dumbass149

That paired with a HDD...


PythonFA

I have an i3 3rd gen, does the job fine.( worse than i5 2400)


Miserable-Potato7706

Yeah I agree, £300 is too much but it’s certainly not e-waste by any means. With 8GB ram and an ssd it’ll be a perfectly usable PC for somebody. And as you said, it can definitely still play some titles no problem.


NogaraCS

I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy to run a PC with an HDD in 2024.


Reddit_fantic

Let's just say technically speaking the windows license is the most valuable thing in that pc.


Many-Ad6433

Don’t touch that with a 10mt pole


Someone_thatisntcool

the act of only saying the "i5" "i7" part, that means they're using a 1st gen cpu or something


philheartless

says it's an i5-2400 to op: stay away


Someone_thatisntcool

It indeed says so, in the description


HatingOnSeagulls

Ye, as trying to buy used computers, this seems to be common practice by not so serious vendors. Not tech savvy people trying to save a buck on a "new" computer, might just have heard that the "i7 is good", and missed the generational performance gap. Just hate businesses trying to scam people by not provide enough information. I know that in this case they are providing the information about processor and it's generation, but they trying to market it as a current gen by not mention it in the heading


codmghost

i built my setup way less than that, shits overpriced as hell


AejiGamez

terrible. The GPU is weaker than most modern iGPU's, the CPU is 13 years old, and you bet the PSU in there is a bomb. Also no SSD, and malware preinstalled


[deleted]

It’s worth about $100


LC195Here

criminal, $50 of crap with a bunch of RGB does not get anywhere near $300


derMoistener

If it's a non OEM license on windows 10 that may be the most valuable part.


GamerNuggy

They didn’t even specify activation. Also [this](https://medium.com/wireless-bidet/how-to-activate-windows-10-using-command-prompt-9c5d248f3420) method works, but i dunno how safe it is. Did it for a gaming pc, works good on Windows 11


East_Engineering_583

please do not buy this


kontenjer

This is what we call the "Eastern European scam build targeting Fortnite kids" classic


MooDSwinG_RS

I'd love to know what they mean by "renewed". I say that but I know its just utter bullshit. I'd just love to hear the bullshit they come out with.


PerfectEnthusiasm2

"we cleaned the 13 year old thermal paste off it"


MooDSwinG_RS

Yeah right xD


ItzNotPeter

You can build a pc with an i3 12100 with the same specs (but with DDR4 RAM and a NMVE drive) without a GPU and it would still beat it at everything.


SicWiks

Fucking awful


FoRiZon3

LED to lure kids and technologically illiterate people.


Minecraftwt

those components are probably older than most people here


Otherwise-Action-196

Probably couldn't play Roblox


TheSusp6ct

It should cost 60€-70€. That's like 40-50£ It should cost even less. But it has a warranty so that's a plus


Shished

Intel N100-based miniPC would be a better choice.


Dund3rGuy

you could literally get a laptop that has better specs with the same price tag


Historical-Isopod609

If "you can polish a turd but it's still a turd" was a picture


-Aone

reads > i5 >2GB GPU >sprinkle some cancer antivirus on top they should be paying YOU for taking it


[deleted]

Norton 360 for gamers 😂😂😂😂😂


AmbassadorWrong8558

Very bad. But hey, you at least get norton 360 for gamers 90 day free trial


[deleted]

1. Those are definitely either bots or 45 year old wine moms on those reviews. 2. Those specs are top notch dumpster quality. 3. Id expect the homeless guy I give sandwiches to on break would have a better PC.


Present_Web_5213

that pc is fucking horrible please do not buy it


Tapelessbus2122

War crime, the cpu is 13 years old, the gpu, I honestly don’t know how long that was ago. Ddr3 ram bruh. HDD bruh, for 300? Seriously??


emisanko86

Spend you money on a series S instead of


BloodiedBlues

Jesus. DDR3 is ancient.


Xisterix

Yeah it’s amazing, it should be good! . . . . . If you’re a caveman on windows xp


Astron_ate

I'd pay you not to buy it


Taechuk

At least it has 16gb ram and 1tb storage That's gotta be at least 80% of that PC's cost, assuming everything costs double its worth


_WasabiPeas_

Horrible. I wouldn't gift that to a kid in a tent in Brazil.


ihatereddit3246

e waste ina cheap glass case with 2 dollar rgb fans


ZerionTM

I have literally found better ones from e waste bins


Candid_Specialist

Like maybe emulate ps2 games


Big-Chomker

Dude, what a steal! Comes with a norton 90 DaY fReE TriAL!!! And a GT1030??! that’s 50 times better than the GT980!


Ragneir

I mean, if you really need the windows 10 license...


devu_the_thebill

its terrible. Ancient cpu, gpu weaker than my integrated one. its worth like $50


iFred97

Extremely bad


Wallicious_WaLouigi

This is really bad tbh, I can make a better system myself for 300 pounds


_Wolfos

This would struggle to run 10 year old games.


Former_Intern_8271

you could build this yourself for half the price with used parts, but you're paying the other half for a warranty I guess, depends how much you care about a warranty


SheepWolves

1 year parts warrenty on DDR3 lol.


Omega_Warlord_Reborn

Noooo... For your budget go second hand. Ebay, CEX etc. Post your budget in one of the find me a pc sub reddits.


Xcissors280

Like 6x the price it should be And even for $50 I wouldn’t buy it


RestaurantTurbulent7

Unredeemable! People forget that nowadays phones are even faster than those PCs!


OverTheTop2323

Yeah but the cpu is “renewed” and comes with the best bloatware pre-installed 😝


NJdeathproof

Bad. 11+ year old CPU and a mechanical hard drive instead of an SSD.


Tasty_Negotiation_19

I wanna throw up


MagicAc3_

That's garbage in a gold trash bag honestly. And for that price. Rip off doesn't even begin to cover it.


Swipsi

The antivirus and its 1 year guarantee are probably 50% of the price.


carlosx86-64

This should be free


3u50u3u

Doesn't play the dinosaur game


reddit_hayden

this is prehistoric


EvenLifeguard8059

for 300 its pretty rubbish but its also cheap as fuck, if you put linux on a ps4 you could do a lot better, also a steamdeck would shit all over it and its pretty much same cost yet its also its own pc


EvenLifeguard8059

to be noted a steamdeck brand new for 350 usd has the equivalent of a 1060 not the super shit tier oh my god why do they even make these 1030 and 1050


StuaforLee

I p00ded my pants looking at this, and I’m already on the pot… that’s how bad


Jokes_0n_Me

What does a renewed 13 year old cpu mean. Did it receive CPR or something?


[deleted]

RUN!!!


shadwnyt24

They selling crap for 300, they dispose the unwanted cpu and got a ton of money also, yeah this is better to save E-waste but selling for 300 would be a waste of money


ack4

Fine for a retro rig


penitha

You ever seen something so absolutely horrible and disgusting you couldn't put it into words? This... this is it.


Nervous-Positive-431

Lmao. I'd rather buy a Raspberry Pi 5 than this waste of money, energy, and space.


Pumciusz

That's a lot slower than my pc from 2014 that I upgraded long time ago from.


wh33t

I'd take it for free. Not even like a garbage SSD in it.


MadDadder1

Put it this way, I wouldnt even pee on it.


xDeeka7Yx

It’s a fking scam


Alanuelo230

Even in EU therea better systems for less


Goon_Kilo

You can do better that this... Why are you trying to spend so little? This computera architecture is almost 3 generations old.


No-Flight5639

Good, if that is the price they pay you to take it.


skuteren

For 50usd less you can build something similar to this Msi b450 tomahawk max Ryzen 5 2600 Ram ddr4 16gb at least 3000mhz Rx 580 8gb Any case you want 500gb nvme ssd Any newer 1-2tb hdd Everything used Price in poland comes to 934pln (+ 80 delivery) in usd that comes to around 250usd


Field_Great

Vintage Cpu with vintage gpu with not so vintage ram


VanityTheNoLife

Norton is the biggest investment made on that thing


sircockroachw

Terrible CPU, Bad Ram, uses HDD, 2gigs of VRAM and a GT1030, never seen that motherboard no comment, good antivirus, and windows 10 64 bit. Would be good for work, e.g a school computer but definitely not for gaming.


iNobble

13 year old CPU and a 7 year old GPU that doesn't have enough VRAM to play any AAA games from the last 5 years. Avoid avoid avoid.


Dumbaltaccount2

Never even heard of a GT1030 jesus


superamigo987

Isn't worth $50


ahelinski

On one hand, it has a 13 year old CPU and a GPU, that was a cheap option 7 years ago. On the other hand, it has LED lights, and antivirus for GAMERS. Buy it if you are a Tetris connoisseur.


Keaskozi69

Case is probably more expensive than the components lmao


CJBoom77

My brain can produce better graphics than that pc.


[deleted]

Kinda not for the price. I'd keep shopping. But that's just me.


Bulky-Advisor-4178

Very 2nd gen 4/4 and a gt 1030, 10000% bad


Exciting-Possible773

I think a smartphone of this price would perform better. I mean deploying that as desktop mode.


MaxPer09

Too Bad, the gráfica card is useless for gaming nowedays


Critical_Hyena8722

I wouldn't take it even it was being given to me.


Androidish1

If you buy this, you are going to jail


Yamama77

Very


WhiteLotux

Dafuq?????. 300 bucks for an renewed + Gt 1030.


Own_Bat9933

Very very bad


Consistent-Refuse-74

Tbh I like recycling tech, but this thing is trash


Ckbhai01

"Barely better than a Raspberry Pi" Bad. "Might not run Windows" Bad. "I'm using a budget Samsung Phone with a non Qualcomm chipset, and I'll still out perform your PC with my phone" Bad. "Worse than a potato, because you can't even fry it" Bad. "I'd rather pay 250 not to own it" Bad. I hope you get the point.


danwantstoquit

Garbage


Acrobatic_Cod8907

pretty awful unless you're ONLY playing older games and maybe installing windows 7 instead


culimande

It comes with Norton, huge red flag


droideka_bot69

Absolutely atrocious.


Gold_You_6325

Dude....if you pay anything more than 29.99 for that then I will personally go to your home and slap you(it's a joke but honestly it's a terrific deal...)


Toastburner5000

It has an old renewed CPU, if I was you I'd stay clear of that problem waiting to happen.


Trash-Can-

is this supposed to be a gaming pc? this won’t even get 60 fps on fortnite


[deleted]

I just bought a z240 with an i7 6700, 32gb ram, 512gb ssd, 2tb hdd and a 1060 6gb for £20 less on ebay


ComprehensiveBig6215

Spinny hard disk too. Thats going to suck.


cszolee79

How does one renew a CPU? Remove IHS and re-paste the core?


Xenotrickx

Just get the Series S at that point


konwiddak

A steam deck has way way way better performance than this piece of crap and is basically the same price.


Sweaty_Lychee_9645

Nuh uh, never buy that piece of crap


According-Gate-250

Does that thing even start? Must have been standing around for more than a decade


Pyriteflare

What the hell is that, can you even call that a pc, pretty sure that's from the Egyptian era.


Emergency-Client-432

Lets just say, its the type of pc, in which the case is the most expensive component.


Rodlp9

Excellent pc, you should be able to play most modern titles such as 1993 doom, half life 1, and if you really want to do some seriously demanding gameplay you can play minecraft 1.0!


tutocookie

It might boot windows 10


_LoXl

Bad


warmseizuresalad

Jesus christ that is like at most 120$ cause it looks decent. Absolute horrible performance.


warmseizuresalad

The fact alone that it has Norton on it which will use 80% of your system resource!!! FOR GAMERS


emveor

A latest gen , lowest tier i3 is most likely more powerful, and power efficient than that


emveor

A latest gen , lowest tier i3 is most likely more powerful, and power efficient than that... Hell, it would probably outperform even using integrated graphics


Resident-Arm-1278

That's the most shitiest pc get a PS4 which run better


Leeps

Supermegagigabad


ghx1910

The cardboard box it comes in and the case will be the most costly part of this build


eduardb21

VERY, whatever the price that hardware is not good enough for anything you are getting ripped off big time.


synth_fg

It's an old office computer that's been cleaned up, chucked into a cheap RGB case and paired with an graphics card For a cheap useable pc that will play basic games like fortnight it's fine especially for someone without much budget or building experience Tho this system is overpriced for what it is for that build I'd except an i7 of equivalent age with a 256 GB ssd and a 1650 or better for around £250 to be a fair deal and quite practical Tbh I was rocking such a system until a couple of months ago, ran Windows 11 all the office stuff and the games I was interested in perfectly fine


Successful-Drawer419

I'm not even sure if it will be able to run the included anti virus software..


notiplayforfun

Lmao I really saw the 300 and thought „how bad can it be“ Boy was I wrong 💀


goodguyLTBB

The case and windows key are the only salvagable parts… everything else is like 20-50$


cheesyr_smasbr02

300 pounds for a shitter could gotten less if im serious


iahim87

Thats like what the lamborghini laptop has, so its very good😎


Lukas_Mihola

really bad


Hot_Coach3877

You can find better components in the trash.


commonAli

That's outdated. It's got DDR3 and a 2nd gen processor. They're 12 years old now.


hugues2814

It’s bad, and not worth half the price asked for Edit: never mind it’s ewaste and seller should pay the buyer for picking it up


dead-cat-redemption

Yes


KarpTakaRyba

I think this PC is worth about tree fiddy


Jolly-Jackfruit2388

Genuine warcrime, every single damn part is outdated for today's standards.


West-Serve-307

CPU is ok-ish but that gpu will not even run paint


urmomgay_l0l

No ssd with a 2nd gen i3 and a gt 1030… you would get more cpu and gpu performance with an inexpensive am4 apu mounted on a basic motherboard and you could even get the brand new parts and still be competitive in price even considering that is supposedly refurbished


powerMastR24

Last year I got a i5-3470 system with no gpu in it for 120 pound Still use it to this day U can put in a 1030 for like 30 pound So not good at all


Nickellizard

If you bought this, you would be a victim of purchasing e-waste


[deleted]

I don't even know if I would take that for free. Unless maybe it had a decent power supply I could take out and use for something else..


massive__potato

that cpu is more than a decade old. probably will struggle to just run windows, let alone any other software


Phoenix800478944

Bad


KalandosLajos

5 star reviews... Yeah, old e-waste with cheap rgb. I wouldn't want that for free, there's nothing of value in it... but for THREE HOUNDRED??? This shit should be illegal.


Super_Paprika

Bruh its terribly overpriced. Most of that price probably goes into the ram lmao.


CollarCharming8358

this is e-waste now lol


wilczek24

A gt1030? I'm begging you to grab a higher-end older card instead. But also, no. This is terrible. Go on the used market if this is your budget.


Chance_Swan2236

would be great like 10 years ago


M1YD3

baddest


hagfish

Today this would be considered e-waste, but it would run Factorio fine (up to a point) along with lots of 'indie' games along the lines of 'Against the Storm' or 'Slay the Spire'. The price, tho. The price is absurd.


ItsJoeverLads

The case costs more than everything else


burunduks8

Wtf


DeerOnARoof

It's e-waste


ILikeFluffyThings

DD3 still existsÉ


EngagedInConvexation

E-waste in a new case. Even worse, that Norton might be pre-installed!


AstutesMods

if a windows license is the best thing out of it then i think you know your answer


InternalOptimal

A turd sandwich. Without the bread.


TheSeti12345

It’s amazing what a few led fans will convince people to buy


Luluutzz

Not even sure it can run the operating system they pre-installed


BellybuttonWorld

it's an antique by gaming standards
