$200 Gaming PC

I plan on starting PC gaming soon but instead of starting by building my own rig, i want to buy my own dirt cheap PC sothat i can buy right away, play right away, and upgrade later.

so, i found this PC, the cheapest on newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103228

from the reviews, they said that it works decently for gaming so i'm wondering if it will work well for PC games (i really don't care about high settings or whatever they are).

if it is decent, what parts should i upgrade in the future?

That pc will not do well with games and will not be upgradable you will need to spend atleast 600 for a decent gaming rig.

YO! Dat rig is t3h chizzznit dawg!!! I max crysis wit dat sheeeit.! Allz muh homiez owsz dat and dey agree!

.......is this a serious thread?

You couldn't even upgrade that.

It has to be. Wow.

Expect to pay at least $650+ for a new rig and $400 if you already have a good case, PSU, CD-drive, and possibly HDD. And that's for a budget build.

it is a netbook without the lcd screen.......ferret-gamer

Dude..............................

that wont even play painkiller let alone anything recent hahahaha

seriosuly though minimum for a gaming pc would be like 350.. 400

Well I bought a pc, for around 250$. e5300 g41 gigabyte motherboard 2 gigs of ram 350watt psu (didn't come with a hd) Some random case. Pretty good deal for 250$, just add a videocard to this for 100$ more 350$ + 50$ hd. And you can game pretty well. Though don't expect to upgrade this much, lga 775 is a dead socket, but it ocs to 4.0 ghz without an insane amount of hassle.

Also that thing you mentioned, I actually like it quite a bit. Looks decent for a htpc, though uh that won't game... at all. I have a netbook with similar specs, it can run games from 04 fine.

Here is basically what that cpu is: 1.2ghz pentium 4 celeron. Not a very fast thing.

$290 is the cheapest I could go, literally, on newegg, without choosing a product with really bad reviews, and allowing you to game!

Can't believe I did this lol:

This must be a joke, you need at least $500 to build a low end gaming rig. This little thing won't cut it.

ha ha, honestly (sadly), it wasn't a joke. (i went to a friends house last night so didn't come online tilhalf an hour ago to the guy who said i wasn't responding)

a good amount of reviews said it could game and me being a complete noob to PC's, thought that it would actually last for a while.

thanks to the guy came up with the 290 build, something ican actually afford.

no if you all will excuse me...
