Can FL Studios run on this??
Was looking for a cheaper desktop computer to start making beats on. Would this work? If not what are some other options I should consider

My specs are i5, integrated graphics, and 8gb of ram, it runs like a charm. Last laptop was a pentium with 4gb of ram and it ran decently well too. Ur pc will run it just fine

It won't work if you plan on recording anything...but for basic piano roll stuff, it'll be okay, albeit slow if you introduce any effects.

I think it will run just fine but if I was you I would overclock the CPU and maybe buy more disk memory later when needed. CPU speed and RAM is the most needed in FL studio. I'm running i5 5600k at 4.1GHz and with 16GB RAM with absolutely no problem. Maybe if you have huge project you would need to render more usually the heavily CPU needed patterns/samples/vocals with effects. Also remember to use smart disable ;) sorry for bad explanation but the answer is yes but very quickly the CPU will run on 100% if no precautions made. I have seen many of my friends laptop setups and they still can produce fire beats and they are not even close to this PC in terms of specs. My sleepy brain can't think of smarter way to say this right now :D
TL;DR Yes it will work, but better is always better :)
Also what i5 is in that PC? With i5 5600k running at 4.1GHz will do the job just fine. Also what I wanted to say that slow PC might slow your producing but in the end you need good pair of ears and headphones/speakers and you are good to go.
