Good value for sure. You will need a decent graphics card, and possible a new power supply (which requires a special Lenova adapter) if you want to use this for gaming. The CPU gave out only about 5 months after purchasing and I had to replace it with an i5-3570. Luckily I was able to find one on Ebay for around $35. I am still not too miffed about it, being a refurbished unit.
