Anything would be better than a computer from 2006

No kidding. It has 3GB ram and starts to lock up when u have more than 5 tabs open.
Its crashed multiple times and has problems streaming 720 videos on youtube.
But I cant complain, I got it for free from my dad when he built himself a new one.

Yes op do it lenovo desktops are tanks you'll end up bored of it and upgrading before it ever dies on you. I used to work in a large corp with hundreds of them. 3 years ha it'll last you 10+.

Seriously though, a Lenovo or Dell (Optiplex) would be fine. If you can afford it, whack an SSD in and you'll be flying.

how can you be this poor?

im living in north africa and I've a 800$ 2017 rig

Hmmm let's see:
> minimum wage job
> textbooks and other school supplies
> payment for 17 units (so full course load)
> groceries
> gas
> other supplies for cooking, cleaning, and living
> winter clothes
> other payments for insurance, rent and bills
> saving a little money for emergencies and future trips to other places I might want to visit with my friends

Ya gee I wonder why I cant drop $800 on a computer + all the other nice things you probably have.

Depends on what your budget is. There should be some 790's / 9010 / 9020's going cheaply by now. (9020's are newer than the 9010's. which are newer than 790's - good naming there, Dell)

I personally don't have any experience with the Lenovo so I can't comment on them, but, the Dell's stand up to the K-12 school environment I deploy them in, so I think they are relatively tough and with low failure rates. They put up with many forced power offs and tonnes of dust

They're okay and if buy the right form factor you can probably even drop in a gpu

Look for used workstations.
Companies are cleaning their stuff and sell them incredible cheap.
Got a Xeon e5-1650v2 workstation with 8gb ram and some amd firepro for 150€. Also one of these long durable 500gb business hdd's I don't rly care much about.
Buy used if you're poor.
Or not poor
Cuz I'd feel retarded paying three times as much for a worse build.

You have to start somewhere. Also some people have bad luck. Don't be an arrogant asshole.

>get a used c2d desktop
>put an used quad core xeon, add memory and a ssd if you want
>???
if you're not buying a pc for gaming you can have your job done with little money
