I need to get a good PC

[JTBreslow]

Ok, so my 2 computers are crap so Im selling my laptop *cant sell my desktop* to a boat onto its way to BestBuy. So I found this magical PC but my only question is, Can it run TF2, CS:S, and Gmod *not all at once, just the games themselves*.

If it can, I'll lock, if it won't reccomend me a good PC that doesn't cost over 500$.

The Graphics card is not very good, and the Processor isn't one I would want to buy.

But honestly, it would probably run them fine at medium/high graphics.

I would Really look for a better computer.

My macbook probably outweighs that thing in performance, since my graphics card and processor are better.

For forget's sake, the vast majority of stuff you're going to do works fine on Windows and OSX (except games). I'm tired of "durp osx can do everything except play games better than windows." That's not true, at all.

mac runs games just fine through things like Rosetta (comes with OS X) and crossover games, I've run the entire hl/hl2 series, tf2, cs AND css, blockland (and 0002), GTA SA, GTA 3 at all medium/ high graphics (except crysis i ran it at low) i average about 80-120 fps on all including crysis. mac isn't a bad gaming system. (well its better than my PC with an amd 64 live :/ ) so stop trashing mac, its awesome and its an all in one PC (no heavy tower) and i did ALL this on mac OS X 10.4.11 with crossover, k so stop trashing mac.
