No. For a gaming computer, you want at least an Intel Haswell i5 or AMD Ryzen.

SORRY the price is $1800

It's not a great system, but it is an okay system. Whether it is worth it depends on the price, and whether you can or want to spend more for better.

You could build a system that is better for less, but it probably won't look as flashy.

I'm sure the seller thinks it's worth that or he's wishing on a star to find someone who does. For $1800 you can build one nice kick butt system that will run circles around that completely outdated system.

 

[USAFRet]

$1800 for that used system?
No.

The only special part in there is the monitor. Everything is merely average at best.

 

[superninja12]

that whole setup is worth 700 dollars tops.

The monitor and water loop is probably more than that alone. Not that it's worth the $1800 asked.

 

[USAFRet]

^^^^^^^ That parts list.
Better performance, $200 cheaper, and all new with your very own warranty.

 

[bystander]

The biggest issue with the system he's selling you a water loop, expensive peripherals, and a wide screen monitor. These things are expensive, yet do not amount to much in the way of performance.

(btw, you did miss the costs of the keyboard, mouse and headset in that price list, but he probably doesn't need it either).

 

[madmatt30]

What you're looking at there mate is a Ferrari with a volkswagon engine under the bonnet.

That sums it up completely.

Pretty much. Perhaps it's like a Dalorean or maybe a kit car. It looks flashy, but the performance is sub par.

Do you think you'll get any different answers than you got yesterday?

$1,800? No.
$1,000? maybe.

LOOL I knew I'd get called out for that. No but last post I completely forgot about the price. I felt like people didn't take in to consider everything. Honest reason

As said yesterday, no, none of it is worth it, especially at that price.

The $1,800 was mentioned in the previous post.
And if you remember....a parts list was linked there, whereby an equivalent system (all new parts), incl the monitor, was a little under $1600.

But, you seem to be latched onto this particular used system.

that cpu isnt the greatest....lately [last few weeks] weve been getting questions about the 8320 regarding fps and benchmarks. not the best compared to new ryzen's and skylake. id pay 800$ for all and have to upgrade it anyway.
