If your desperate it works. Quality control seems lacking. Because I found something's  stuck INSIDE the headphone Jack, all front end USBs are dead. The thermal paste is dry as all hell. aside from that the 1 tb hard drive is whatever. get an ssd to boot ithe os instead. 8 gigs of ram will get you around.But that's it. The i5 is ok for now. Overall it's worth it. You'll just have a bit of work to do on it. You should do fine slapping a low profile graphic card In there for a budget gaming pc. Just dont expect to be blown away.
