Opinion needed on PC specifications
need it for home/gaming usage.
my concern is the processor.... as in it being a server-based XEON...but isn't it the same as an i5?
- Intel E3-1220 V2 quad core 3.1GHz (3.44GHz Turbo) processor
- 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
- 1TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
- DVD-RW and DVD-ROM
- Zotac GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming graphics (HDMI, DVI, Display Port)

Probably similar in performance to an i5-2500 since it's a SB Xeon.
How much are you paying for it?

Seems ok, although I never buy full towers used, especially older ones.

TBH... this will be a WoW box with maybe some RTS like sudden strike 4. nothing too cutting edge. I figured it was a good deal...with it including a 24" IPS LCD monitor.
I will eventually build a PC but need something for a few months to level up my WoW toons to 110 over christmas. My toshiba gaming laptop, QOSMIO, is not gonna cut it.
Also, that particular board allows the CPU to be swapped to an i5...
