Depends on your budget, monitor your playing on (1080p 60hz etc) and games you want to play (Minecraft easy if not running ray tracing , with Assassin's creeds being extremely taxing )

It could be classed as a gaming PC but it's very low down the pecking order. It won't play a lot (if anything) to a "good" standard.

Is it something you already have or are looking to buy? If you haven't bought yet then what is your rough budget? People on here may be able to put you a spec together to try and get as much for your money as possible.

No. If you're trying to sell it and call it a "gaming pc", any buyer would be disappointed with it's performance in most newer games. Call it an internet or office PC and mention it can play games on reduced settings, then the buyer knows what to expect.

IMO it's not a gaming PC. The 1030 is a Media PC GPU. If you're gonna make junk and say it can game u may as well call yourself pcworld.

If you were reselling you'd be lucky to get 60% of the RRP on the parts you used to put it together. Expensive lesson on how to build a PC lol.

You could probably sell it as a HTPC though.
