basic gaming machine and upgradable question

[sonicdude]

hi
i am thinking of buying a pc to get me started was looking at this one on ebay New Gaming Graphics Tower Quad Xeon HT Core Desktop PC | eBay was just wondering if it would be any good for playing games and was wondering if or what graphics card i would be able to upgrade to?

any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance

Errrm that's not a bad computer actually.

MY only concern is it's a little dated.

I'm not entirely sure how games can utilize dual processors.

In fact re-reading that, i'm not sure I would bother, I mean they are hyperthreadding processors which means they are actually only single core, granted there are two of them but i'd still stay away.

Instead look at something like this: Zoostorm Desktop PC - Desktops | Ebuyer.com

You would need an operating system and an upgraded graphics card, but it would be a lot better than the outdated ebay link.

Mmmmm Xeon (around 2007 - 2009 I think) ... its getting a bit old honey , the comp ssc456 gave you a link to is a much better option.

You need to find out what the Motherboard is first as to a Graphics Card, (Chipset AMD A55 & PSU is 300w)
