This PC was designed to be a turnkey vintage gaming rig for old CD and DVD-based Windows games from the 90's through the late 2000's, excelling at titles like UT99, Quake, Morrowind, Runescape, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, etc. The 1GB GTX650 is massive overkill for nearly every game up until Custom-Built ATX tower
