Although I've been pretty tech savvy & have built several PC's from the MOBO up, I'm an old guy & I have recently had some financial & health related issues which have compromised my abilities. I'm considering replacing my current build with a used PC from a Seattle dealer (I live in WA) which specializes in used machines for those in need. If someone could help me select the best buy/best machine for the $$$, I would appreciate it very very much. Looking for faster than my existing PC.
My current build is this CPU:http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core i7-950 AT80601002112AA (BX80601950 - BXC80601950).html
Running on this MOBO: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813121362?cm_re=BLKDX58SO_Core_I7_Intel_X58-_-13-121-362-_-Product
I'm running 12 gig of DDR3 triple channel memory w/a clock speed of 540.5 MHZ.
Running win7 64 bit, dual boot, pro on one SSD, home on another SSD. I have 2 x 2TB HDD's for storage. All drives are SATA III.
I would like to be able to install at least the two storage HDD's into the PC I buy. I use the PC mostly for word processing, general Internet, as well as playing DL'd videos from binary newsgoups (in other words, it's also my "TV") . I am finding my current machine is getting quite SLOOOOOWWWW...
These are the used machines I'm considering https://interconnection.org/retailstore/desktops.html?limit=all Probably have to go with a tower form factor. I'd really like to be able to do this for around $350 or less.
I know this question is a PITA. My apologies. If anyone has any suggestions from the above, that would be great. I'm open to doing another build, but I would need to reuse my PSU, vid card, memory, etc. Probably would end up being more than used PC price.
Thank you again
Dan
