With this pc be able to play VR games like the ones available on steam on at least minimum settings. Would it be compatible?

I do intend on purchasing a decent graphics card for it too so it would not be using the built in graphics chipset.

No, the CPU (APU) doesn't meet the minimum specifications. You would at least need an FX 8350 or i5-4590 to hit official spec for something like the Vive. It's possible you could get VR games to run with a lower end CPU than that, but an A4 isn't close.

Ok so would it be at least an ok gaming system if I threw a decent graphics card into it? & is it worth buying it for $300 (CAD) Would it be able to run newer games like fallout 4 for example at least run them on min settings?

Thanks for the info & assistance.

No, unfortunately the A4 in there (AMD A4-6300, if the specs I'm reading are correct) is a low end APU that isn't ideal for gaming, except maybe for some older games at low settings. I don't think Fallout 4 would be playable on it even at low settings. Even if it could run games like Fallout 4, there are better PCs even in the budget range with an i3, i5, or A8 processor for $300-400 CAD on a site like Best Buy (obviously there's more choice elsewhere, but I looked there just for reference).

Fallout 4 in particular will dip in performance in certain areas without a decent CPU. If you can find a desktop in your budget that has at least a Haswell i5 ("4th generation" Intel Core processor) or newer, or an AMD FX processor (e.g. FX 8320 or higher) and 8GB of RAM, you'll be in better shape for gaming. AMD's Ryzen processor launch isn't too far off - supposedly next month, but perhaps March - so prices on older hardware could drop even if you aren't looking to buy a PC with a Ryzen CPU if you are willing to wait.

You can often get away with buying a non "gaming" PC and simply drop in a video card for far less money that an entry level gaming PC, provided it has the necessary requirements (adequate power from the PSU, enough room and cooling in the case, etc). There are a lot of low power video cards now that make this fairly practical. Gaming PCs often command a slight to heavy premium just for the tag "gaming", an aggressive name, and a flashy looking case, so if you don't care what the PC looks like, you can possibly save money by looking at general purpose PCs from the likes of Dell, HP, ASUS, etc.

Do you have a particular site/store you are looking to purchase a computer from? I (we) could probably make suggestions after looking what's available and on sale.
