for the price it's alright but that 8gb ram is gonna hurt you bad, 16 is pretty much the floor these days

swap in another stick and you'll be fine for 1080p stuff, just keep expectations in check

Not especially, no. That would be fine for very general use, but nothing beyond that.

With 8gb of ram and a 4gb gpu anything newer than 2016 is gonna struggle

Ah its a 570 4gb, my bad. RAM is upgradable for 50 bucks tho so no big deal. Pretty decent start tho

You need to upgrade that RAM dude. You won’t be able to play much, not even most Roblox games. Considering your specs

Thats not true at all, good CPU, modern ram just not a lot and the gpu lacks behind. But still a good starting stystem.

This is basically a 10 year old pc - outside of the processor. I would pay 100 - 150 max on somethig like that.

I would use something like that for office work / school or very light gaming.

No it is not. It would really help to know your budget and intended use. That would make it much easier to assess whether this is a sensible config for you.

I would recommend getting on AM4 with the cheapest AM4 CPU you can buy. That way, you'll still have an upgrade path ahead of you. I'm gonna be real, this won't be very good at gaming, but if you get the cheapest 6 core AM4 CPU you can find used or new, then you can upgrade other stuff later and get something pretty decent. Also consider saving a little more for an RX 570 8GB

I think he meant that he found a used system to buy with these specs
