I'd say no, it's not a good deal. For $800 you can get really nice PC if you build it yourself.

First whats up with all the exclamation points?!!!!!!!!


Second, that computer is nowhere near worth $800. I'd say $250 tops. You could build a much nicer computer for $800. Definitely do not buy. If your friend knows a lot about computers then he's trying to rip you off (not a very good friend..), but if he's a noob, then its fine since he thinks computer parts INCREASE in value after a few months... Even excluding the case, the computer is still not worth $650. Good luck.

mmhmm im not sure what to do. I want a comp that can run any game close to high graphics! his comp is able to run Crysis...

The thing is. is that i go to www.tigerdirect.ca and i cant find anything that meets his comp specs that are cheaper or the same price! everything is over $800

expert, would you be willing to build your own computer? You can do very well with $800. The link slaymate gave you will show you how easy it is to build your own computer. We can help you pick out parts.

And if you're not willing to build your own, here's one for around $800 that would destroy your friend's computer:

Newegg.ca - CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2024 Phenom II X4 955(3.2GHz) 4GB DDR3 500GB NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - Desktop PCs

weaker, but still good:
Newegg.ca - CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme 1060 Intel Core i3 530(2.93GHz) 4GB DDR3 500GB NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - Desktop PCs

If that PC can run Crysis it's going to be at low settings and low resolution.
