Hello PG Members

I was teenager when I played PC games last time: Prince of Persia Warrior Within, NFS Underground, Call of Duty MW etc :) Now my kids have grown up and they are asking me for a gaming PC because they watched GTA V videos on YouTube. As a result, I searched a lot on internet and I found out workstations,Xeon based, are more powerful and still cheaper than desktop computers, i7 based. I am considering to purchase Lenovo S30 workstation.

Here are the specs I am getting for Rs.35,000/-

Lenovo S30 Thinkstatioin
Xeon E5 1620 v2 15MB
4 core 8 thread
8gb ddr3 ram
500gb hard drive
600Watt PSU 80 Plus Gold - builtin - Original from Lenovo
Rx 570 4gb 256bits ddr5

Please advise if I can purchase it or I am missing something important.

This is pretty good for the price. Just check it thoroughly before purchasing and try to get at least a week warranty. You can also install a used 120 gigs SSD for boot drive which will massively speed up your system.

Thanks for the feedback. Is there any credible supplier for used PCs/Workstations?

best value for money system, or search Dell 3600 or hp 420 with same specs as there will be 1-2K difference in price but you will be able to get parts easily available in future.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
