Would this PC be worth buying and then upgrading?

So I tried building this PC on PartPicker and the result was going to cost at least $120 more than just buying it. It comes with a totally crap GPU, but I can solve that problem for about $75-100. I don't demand bleeding edge performance, I just want something that will be powerful enough to play games for the next two years. For those on mobile, here are the specs: CyberPowerPC Gaming PC - AMD Quad-Core FX-4130 3.80GHz, 8GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, DVDRW, [u]1GB AMD Radeon HD 6450[/u], Windows 8 64-bit, Keyboard & Mouse, (GUA430) That graphics card is worse than what I have in the laptop I'm using right now haha.

    • No. You'll end up spending more money buying this then upgrading it. Just build your own. It really isn't that hard to do, and it's also a lot of fun. It's literally like putting together LEGOs. It's that easy. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2wOrR

      Threw this together really quickly (3 minutes) You're going to have to upgrade the psu right out of the box and that gpu wont do anything so I would just skip upgrading. Also there are tons of ways to get free Windows legally so look into that.

      • Doesn't seem like a bad deal. I would recommend upgrading the PSU along with the GPU, as 350W is uncomfortably low.

        • I would say yes it is. Get a newer R Series AMD video card and I would say you're set.
