While I wouldn't suggest getting that computer, you could definitely run Gmod and OCRP2. You wouldn't be able to run it on the highest settings because the city lags like a bitch, but I can run Gmod maxed out and get 20~ish frames with an Intel integrated card, which is among the worst of video cards out there.Can i run OCRP2 with this computer? and what game is probably the max i can run with it, also got a Geforce 8600 GT g-card.

In short you will not be able to run ocrp2 with that computer. To give you an idea your graphics card, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150229 only has 256 MB of memory.
While mine is a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696 which has 2GB 192-bit GDDR5, I only get 10 to 15 frames in the city which is the most populated section of OCRP2 when it is a full server with maxed settings.
If you have yet to buy this computer I highly suggest not getting it since it's extremely outdated and not worth your time. If your budget can take it you should really build your own computer or at least get in touch with someone with the know how of being able to assemble/ tell you what to buy.Too me it seems fine, Garrys mod is not that high demanding, It when you get into big shooter games and are running multiple video games at once is where you need to get a solid computer. Only thing that could concern me is the processor, do you know how many Ghz it has?
AMD Athlon II X2 processor. 3.0GHz
The problem with Gmod right now is that multicore rendering is not working and is forced off even if you select to use it in the settings. This means that having a powerful computer will barely increase your fps by about say 5 when playing OCRP in the city at max players.Is the multicore render being looked at and getting fixed?
Budget is not good, and gmod will be the only game i'll be running, i still need a new computer?I'm assuming your budget is $250ish. Are you willing to build a computer? If so, what do you already have(Monitor, keyboard, operating system, etc)?

That's why I asked what he already has. You can probably salvage the power supply, possibly the case, maybe even the GPU. You can do well with an i3-3220 and a $100 motherboard for now. But if he prefers prebuilt, then that's a whole different story.Budget is not good, and gmod will be the only game i'll be running, i still need a new computer?I'm assuming your budget is $250ish.

$250 is way too low
