    Hello everyone, could you spare some time to look at the specifications of this PC? I'm not very computer minded and have been wow-ed by seemingly great price/quality copmputers,... but then I asked some more knowledgable people and they told me they were pretty crap computers even for their relatively low price.

    It's not meant to be used as a high performance gaming PC, more of a work (+ low performance gaming) PC.


    This is a 399€ PC (= 523.87 US Dollar)

    MEDION® AKOYA® E2220 D (MD 8382),
    Intel® Pentium® G3240 processor,
    NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX750 graphics card,
    1 TB (= 1000 GB) hard drive,
    4 GB DDR3 SDRAM-working memory,
    multistandaard dvd/cd-burner,
    fast wireless wifi (which I assumed was always wireless),
    Software package with Windows 8.1 Home Premium

    + USB keyboard (seems wireless) + optical mouse (seems wired)
    USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports
    Multicard reader


    Here's a link to the store's page (small amounts of Dutch though)

    And a link to the manufacturers site (larger amounts of Dutch though)

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    It's not a performance rig, and the CPU is rather lackluster. However it will handle most nominal tasks. I would put an SSD in it if you require speed, and use the original HDD for data storage an back up images.

    Seems like a lot of money for a "Pentium 5"...
