Right, start again.

What games are you wanting to run?


But no, it's old and terrible, the GTX 275 might play Solitaire, it might not. Play it on low settings O_O

Please save up and buy a PC you can be proud of.

Is it running a GTX 275 and 8800 in SLI? LOL

No, it's not going to ran any modern games at good FPS, maybe Call of Duty 4 on low.

The 275 was a relatively high-end card around four years ago and it will still play a lot of games very well. For reference, it runs Crysis Warhead reasonably well at gamer (high) settings.

You'd be getting a lot of performance for the money but it's all old hardware. Dust will be an issue, fans may be loud, the hard drive may be near failure, etc.
