Unless you are getting that for under $150 I would strongly recommend purchasing something else.

1. eMachines is a terrible brand
2. You can get newer and better machines for pretty cheap.

HP Pavilion p6-2310 PC - $365.25
2.8GHz AMD A4-3420 Accelerated Processor
6GB DDR3
500GB HDD
Windows 8
SuperMulti DVD Burner
AMD Radeon HD 6410D Graphics
Integrated 802.11 a/b/g/n

That PC isn't worth it.
A new motherboard is more expensive than the computer… that tells you how bad it is.

Just get a 100 - 150$ computer. eMachines is utterly terrible. It's a rip off to buy one.
