I am going to be straight up: That is a terrable PC it uses obsolite, 10 year old components. You are not going to play anything on that machine.

Here you go, get this instead:

And no XD, you don't have 132gb RAM.

^This.

There's hundreds of guides on how to build a PC, it's not hard to do at all children can do this, old people can do this, people that never build before can do this as well, it's just like putting together Ikea furniture, or lego play sets with a straight forward guide on how to build things.

320 GB RAM is good.

You should always use dual channel whenever possible. Omega's build is good and slightly over 500$ but for under 500$ get this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g7wNbj
OP was planning on spending 550$ but it's up to him how much he spends.

Difference betweel dual- and single-channel FPS is small.

Yet it's worth it because it doesn't cost a single cent more.

You need new friends. That guy is scamming you for an ancient PC.

You should be his new best friend. I'm kidding.

I agree if someone wants to dumb their outdated junk unto you for something you can get way better for the same price, isn't a really good friend.

From link you've posted, it's got 4gb ram, not 320.

current standard is 64bit OS 8GB or 16GB RAM and at least 4 threads (2c/4t or 4c/4t or betetr ofc) and 4GB GDDR5 VRAM or better.
That PC he is trying to sell you doesnt fullfill any of those standards. As extended standard now is DDR4 and a GTX 10 series GPU or AMD equivalent (which is currently non existing as they all are to expensive because of miners). Those standards arent fullfilled either. You could have cutdowns as older stuff is not necessarily obsolete even if outdated but then the price has to be redicilous low if you want to consider it over a new build where all those standards should be fullfilled.

GTX 1060 3Gb is mighty fine, and will happily slap GTX 1050 Ti 4Gb in any 4k benchmark. You don't need 4Gb VRAM GPU.

and both cards are soooooo good in 4K...Well a 1060 3GB is stronger then a 1050 Ti but you could profit in many of the modern games from more VRAM.

Actually no, name me a game that uses more than 3Gb VRAM in 1080p. That would be a limited list.
