This was my first PC that I used for home studio and light gaming. It was a great starter PC as it taught me the basics of PC building and a upgrading. I upgraded by inserting an MSI 1050ti low profile GPU, which worked great, but there was definitely some bottlenecking going on, but the CPU is still quite efficient especially for it's age.Overall, if you're looking for an efficient starter PC for home use and light gaming, this is an excellent entry point.
