Realy good price !!!, everything is realy ok, except the graphics cards.
Maybe you can buy it for 250$ without the gpus. That would be a phenominal deal!!!

Thanks for the advice I am trying to justify it to myself I really want to jump on it, but I just bought all the parts for a $1200 build haha.

Would this be a good enough build to through in a better graphics card and get good performance for gaming, like if I through in a 7950 or 7970?

It's a pretty good deal. Not the latest and greatest but still pretty solid for most things. As said above you could always sell those old graphics cards and step up up to a single HD 7870 or even an HD 7950 and have a pretty solid 1920 x 1080 gaming machine.

My opinion is that the price is right on. Any more and you are almost better off building yourself. I don't like Thermaltake power supplies but that one is beefy enough to handle anything you would upgrade to. I love the case. It's the one I usually use when doing budget builds for people.

Thanks for the reply, as I said before, it is almost in brand new condition he hardly ever used it. I thought it was easily worth well over $300, thus I thought it was an uncanny deal. But if it is really only worth the 300 I am not really interested, I thought I just happened to come upon a great chance to get a nice solid build other than the graphics cards for a huge discount. If I bought it I would definitely buy a good gpu and throw it in their. So do you think I should jump on it or no?

 

[Marcopolo123]

Yes buy it !
Very good deal!

For gpu, this is a very good deal

I would grab it if you can use a second system.

1090T - $100
MB - $75
DVD Burner- $20
Zalman 9900 - $80
Thermaltake PSU - $135 ( overpriced but that's retail )
Antec 300 Illusion - $60
WD Black - ~$100
Plus the dual graphics cards. I would think you could even sell them on ebay. Not sure of the value.

So you have $570 + the GPUs. I think $300 is a very good deal.

 

[heyBG]

Thanks for the reply I think I am going to jump on it.
