It all depends on the way you are going to use it. Will be good enough for some things, bad for other. What about RAM ? if less than 8GB I would ad some. An SSD would perk it up a lot too. Check requirements for games you plan to play and it will tell you what to expect.

Sounds good, take it, use it and see what may be needed to change. That MB can take more serious CPU with right BIOS.

My advice is never get any computer used unless you have a lot of knowledge about computers. You never know if it had problems in its past life irs probably past warrenty and virus protection is probably no good on it. and you don't know whats all on it.

well I finally bought the PC and I am very satisfied with the games that I am capable of playing (Dying Light/Far Cry 4/PES 2015/Payday 2/Mordor).
But I want to play GTA V when it comes out. Will it run smooth?
Any additions to it?

Congrats, GTA5 is still moot point as it's not out yet and if they fix problems they had with V4 you should be able to run 5 at decent settings.

I know you already bought it.
To buy a used computer I would need to test it before buying it.
Check temps etc.
I would require a full retail version of the os.
& a set of factory recovery disks.

My suggestion is upgrading that GTX 650 to something like at least a GTX 660 or GTX 750 Ti. Or, you can go AMD with a R7 260X or R9 270.

Judging from GTA V's system requirements, and Max Payne 3 PC version, I'd bet V will be decently optimized. I know for sure that it's not a port.
