Hi I am trying to get a decently cheap computer to play both guild wars 2 and dota 2 on. I do not know that much about computer stats, and I was hoping you could help me by telling me if this computer has any real value, or if I would be able to play these two games on it.

Update
I also found this ad which looks nice too, but I am unsure.

The first uses a 1st gen Phenom quad, which wasn’t all that great. It’s coupled with a HD 6450 which you might optimistically call a gaming card, if you were out of your mind. Also being an HP it has a tiny barely powerful enough power supply which limits any okay video card upgrade.

2nd system simply doesn’t have enough info to go on.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

Well, I really wouldn’t want to use either of those, not from the information provided in the adds. The first one would probably struggle to run guild wars 2 on its lowest settings, not to mention it looks old and beat to hell, who knows if its been maintained and cared for properly, could be any number of problems.

While the second has “Apparently” better specs, however “Quad Core” gives us nothing and “2 GB video card” also gives us nothing, you would do well to find out exactly what the graphics card/processor and all of the other intricate details are, some pictures would also have helped.

Really though, if you are wanting to play at max settings, you would be spending 4k+ and building a sexy beast yourself.

You really should see what else is around, However, between the two of them, the second one would “Apparently” handle running Guild Wars 2 better.
