    it doesn't have a dedicated gfx card it is one built into the cpu so not great for any modern games and so you would have to add an after market card also a windows operating system

    look here for what it can play

    they entice you with large amounts of memory but the rest of the system is then rubbish

    It's good as far as the graphics card, which sucks total ass.

    It's an AMD CPU and Intel is preferred too.

    Any chance of a self build? For a few euro extra (50 or so) you'd pull a real 'fierce' machine together

    It's not a good processor really, a 6600K is really not an optimal gaming processor. AMD APU's are great for someone who wants to play a bit of Minecraft, World of Warcraft, that sort of thing.

    When it comes to the latest modern games they're somewhat obsolete - too slow to run the latest games properly with the built in graphics, and the performance when matched with a strong dedicated card is very lacklustre.

    Realistically if you built yourself you'd get an i3, 8gb ram, and a 250x or similar for around the same money and it would be twice as fast.

    If you're not willing to build yourself you can also easily get a decent 2nd hand PC for that money. Like this one on Ebay is €300.

    i3-4150
    6GB Ram
    1TB Hard Drive

    Add a GTX750 and for just over €400 you have a very decent gaming PC that would be twice as fast as that ebay one in your original post.
