I'm really interested in buying a gaming pc, but however I have no clue about the best specs.
Heres the link to the pc I'm looking at buying, I would like to know if this would run gta 5. And what settings would I have to run on gta 5.

Buying PC related items from eBay is always sketchy. The page doesn't say what kind of i5 and the gt 710 wouldn't be good enough for GTA V. I would suggest building your own as it tends to be less expensive with better performance. It's really not that hard and we can suggest parts for you. All you would have to do is find a YouTube on how to build a PC. If you are interested in this just reply with a budget, what monitor/tv your using, and any other games and/or uses you may have for a PC.

Thank you, what about this one?


For sale is this RGB gaming computer thats targeted at 1080p 60FPS gameplay with mainly high settings (depending on title).
RGB is not controlled with software but with an IR controller with presets. Despite the RX570 in my previous build being the better GPU the 1050ti produced much higher quality gameplay recordings and also ran Fortnite A LOT smoother than the AMD card.


Specifications;
Intel i5 2400
Zotac Nvidia GTX 1050ti
Intel DQ67SW LGA 1155
8GB DDR3 1333MHz Crucial RAM
1TB Seagate ST1000DM003
CiT Illusion
Coolermaster Hyper TX3
Xigmatek CY120 3-Pack 120mm RGB Fans with Controller

It's far better than the original system you were looking at, but still really quite low end, and old. You lose some RAM, and the CPU is slightly slower(unnoticeably so), but the 1050Ti is a far superior GPU to the GT 710. In fact, you might actually be better off using integrated graphics rather than the GT 710 at all.

If the GTX 1050Ti system is 300 quid, it's not terrible, but you could still do better. For £300, you'd struggle a little with brand new parts but the systems you're looking at are using pre-owned components, so you'd be better off looking for deals on used parts yourself and building a system. You'd be able to get a better GPU most likely, and/or a newer/better CPU.

As 21 suggested, buying used parts and building your own PC is a great option. Another option would be saving up about 400-500 quid for a decent build that could be up-gradable in the future.
