Question:

What rating and price would you give this gaming pc?

These are the specs:Gigabyte 78LMT USB 3.0 Motherboard TechnologyAMD Bulldozer FX 4100 3.6ghz 8mb Cache1tb Sata Hard Drive8gb DDR3 1600mhz MemoryNvidia GT640 2gb Graphic Card With HDMIGalaxy 3 Gamers Style Case24x Dual Layer Sata DVD Writer500 Watt Branded Power SupplyI want to know what you would rate this and if there's anything in it that you recommend replacing. Right now it cost $407(310 euros) so I might buy it but I want to make sure its good and the price is reasonable.

Answer:

I'd give it about 430$. If it had a basic 250GB HDD, then bump it up to 480$.
The price is reasonable, but the computer is really lousy for gaming. Be prepared to pay $700 if you want to play anything new on high. The AMD Bulldozer series are alright, but they do not compete well with their Intel counterparts. They may operate at around the same speeds, but the Bulldozers eat power, and often perform slightly worse on games. If you want an AMD, go with something from the Vishera series, which is the series after Bulldozer, and is far superior. The GT640 will not get you far. You won't be playing high on many 2013 games, if any at all, and you will likely be playing any new games on low-mid settings. Look for a 650TI, bare minimum.
