Hey guys - first time here - I thought I would do a tiny bit of asking around before buying something this expensive 2nd hand...
I'm not a hardcore gamer, but definitely moderate to higher end on the time i spend playing. I had been getting by on my XPS laptop until I could afford a decent desktop - and this computer popped up on craigslist locally...
Computer Specs:
Case: Cooler Master Stacker 830 Evo (Black with Blue LED fans. It has a total of 7 120mm fans for excellant cooling)
Power: CM Real Power Pro 1000watt Power Supply
Motherboard: NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI
Processor: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 3.0GHZ Quad Core
RAM: 4GB of Corsair Dominator series (PC2 8500)
Hard Drive(s) (3 total): TWO 150GB 10,000 RPM Raptor SATA drives (currently in Raid-0) + an additional 750GB 7200 RPM Sata drive (for storage)
Video: GeFroce 8800GTX 768mb
Sound: Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Platinum Champion Series (7.1)
DVD Drive: CD/DVD R/RW Drive (with Lightscribe technology)
He said he will take 1750 for the tower, a 20 or 21" lcd (dont remember off the top of my head) - and the eclipse keyboard.. some kinda mouse.. (dont remember either)..
I was trying to figure out if this was worth the money... or if its even a good build (want one with potential to upgrade) - as some of the parts are pretty high end.. but I don't know enough myself to sink the money into it without asking people who know more than I do...
Is it worth it? given she's in good shape and clean and all... I don't think I could duplicate the build for under 2500 new?
Any ideas/suggestions welcome.. Thanks in advance...
