I honestly have no idea about computers, but I know this is not an super amazing all out gaming rig. I just want to see if it is worth the buy since it is so cheap. Plus if I did buy this, would it be worth it to change out some of the parts? Nobody call me a PC noob or anything please lol. Thanks guys!

For $50 yes.
It's not a good gaming pc, but you can salvage the HDD/PSU/case.
And you could potentially build one 20x better for $400.

What games do you think it could run? (modern games)
and would it be able to handle editing software, adobe programs, etc?

Also what pieces do you recommend putting into it?

I mean it'd run Minecraft and stuff. But I don't think anything heavy.

In general it's a shit computer, but the PSU potentially could be good.

The case, and HDD could be salvaged, and that alone is worth $50.

I don't think it can edit.

I'd buy it and part it out and buy Ryzen.

I offered $30 to see if they'd take that lmao. And trust me I've been super cautious. It does seem like one of those pic situations lol.

Don't know much about PCs, but this doesn't look very safe to be honest. Price is very low and seller has 0 ratings. I would look somewhere else if I were you.
