I know it's got an i5-4570 in it and that lines right up with my old GTX 970 I've held onto release date wise. Stick some DDR3, a new cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 for authenticity), and new thermal paste in there and you're pogging out in Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Assassin's Creed IV or whatever else we were playing in 2013
