The Heartbreak of Gen 7: so close, yet so unsupported.
One GPU away from glory!
Physical Condition: Good
This custom desktop was so close to being certified for Windows 11 that it hurts. But don’t let that Gen 7 snub fool you, this system was built for the power user! Under the hood is a rock-solid Intel i7-7700 and 16GB of RAM, almost ready to power through anything.
Drop in a graphics card, and you’ve got yourself a stealthy, affordable rig that punches far above its price tag. Perfect for the new-to-gaming crowd, a seasoned player’s backup build, or anyone who knows a good foundation when they see one.
Without a GPU, this system can handle light to moderate photo editing, media encoding, streaming, and even some light creative workloads. It’s the kind of build that turns heads in the right circles. Quietly capable, endlessly upgradeable, and criminally overlooked.
Upgradeable? Oh, absolutely.

❌ What It Won’t Do (Base Build):
In its current form (without a dedicated graphics card), this system isn’t ready for modern gaming, video editing, 3D rendering, or other GPU-heavy tasks. Integrated graphics are great for general use, but they won’t handle creative workloads or performance-demanding software.
However, pair it with the right GPU, and everything changes.
⚔️ What It Can Do (With a GPU Upgrade):
Add a graphics card, and this desktop becomes a powerful all-rounder. It can:
Run most modern games at medium to high settings, depending on the GPU
Support multitasking-heavy workflows like spreadsheets, browser-based tools, and light creative software
Serve as a strong base for a budget workstation or content creation setup
