Need help in buying used gaming pc

[Rain87]

Hello. I need opinion please. Someone's selling this build for $470US. It has been used for about 6 months.
Specs are:

Core i5 2nd gen
250 GB HDD
2GB R9 270X graphis
8GB RAM
No SSD

Need same help pls. By now I am not clear about it's power supply and case. But suppose it had a mid-range case and a 500w psu, is the price worth it? Thanx in advance.

You could build one as cheap with new latest gen for that.

it's not a bad deal, though you should try lowering the price a bit. And there is no way that it's only been used for 6 months, since the CPU came out in 2011. Don't tell me that it's been sitting around somewhere for 5 years without being used.

This is a better deal unless it includes monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

I also doubt that it's just used for 6 months. Maybe he was just lying so that he can sell the pc.He just posted it on a buy and sell app here in the country where I'm staying. We only talked on whatsapp.

Dont forget the ~$100 Windows 10 OS.

 

[Rain87]

Yeah that's to be considered too. But I think it's already running windows 7.
