Should I get this?

I am saving up for a new gaming PC, and then I found this, I think it's a great one, and the price isn't so bad either
Price : 429.99$
Specifications :
CPU Type: QuadCore AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 955, 3215 MHz
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P
Ram : 8 GB ... 4x 2 GB Kingston DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM
VGA : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
Monitor: ViewSonic VX2240w [22" LCD]
HDD WD 1 Tera Black edition
power supply HEC 500 Watt
Speakers : 4.1 Creative with Subwoofe
Should I get it ?

That GPU makes me want to skull-fuck a corpse in shame, but then again the whole rig is only $430, sooo not bad... I personally wouldn't if I could save up more, but if that's all you're gonna be able to get, might as well. Don't expect to run BF3 maxed or BF4 on medium...

I would say you would be better off with a next-gen console

What are your current PC specifications? I have a pretty crappy PC and I am saving up money for new parts for it which makes it cheaper.
At the moment I got:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 645
GPU: Radeon HD 7750 1GB
RAM: 4GB DDR3 10600
Power Supply: 450W
Monitor: 1280x1024 75Hz

I'm saving money for:
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: Radeon R9 280X 3GB
RAM: Additional 8GB to make it 12.
Power Supply: 600W
Monitor: 1920x1080 120Hz

And altogether It will cost me around $744. You could always get a bit cheaper graphics card because the one I want is one of the latest AMD and its around $300 which is 3/4 of your whole PC...

that looks alright except for the fact that i wouldn't mix and match your ram like that. i love to hang around and help out on /r/techsupport and i've seen my fair share of problems with people who have strange ram numbers like 6 and 12gb. i would scratch the ram you have now and just go with a fresh set of kingston 4x2 1600Mhz. if you really wanna keep your current stick then get a duplicate.

Why shouldn't I mix and match ram like that? I found on Amazon the exact same 4GB stick as the one I have and I wanted to buy two of those to add on to my already existing 4GB. I know getting a fresh set would be better but I wanna use up least amount of money plausible.

As long as the serial numbers match up you should be fine.

Should I get this?
