I want to upgrade, but i'm not building my own, just want something quick. this is what i found on craigslist:
Windows System Rating 5.9
XFX Nvidia 680I SLI motherbord
6 GB DDR2 800 (fully overclockable) RAM
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 Ghz
500 GB HARD DRIVE (May have more for more money!)
DVD Burner with LightScribe(TM)
64 Bit OS - Windows 7 (Pre-Installed only!)
Dual SLI NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 Video 512 MB VRam each (1 GB combined and fully overclockable)
Samsung SyncMaster P2370 23.5" monitor
NVIDIA 1000/Mbps LAN
D-Link range booster Wireless A/B/G network adapter
Razer(TM) Death Adder(C) White Glow Mouse
Razer(TM) Lycosa(C) Blue Back-lit Keyboard
I should add that this is for $550 CDN.

looks kinda good dawg
just with the 23+ inches monitor lol
i think its pretty nice
|
I would say yes, it seems like a pretty sick computer, especially for 550. I would expect a computer like that to cost 1k~. I'm just not sure how the gts250 performs in SLI, that would be my only concern (It should be pretty good though)
|
Looks a little toooooooooo cheap...
|
pretty good. the Q6600 is a bit dated, but it can still work. Especially with the added keyboard and mouse. I would go for it.

Seems fine, but make sure it's legit...
|
This is too good to be true.
If the comp was heavily used, maybe. But the graphics, OS, etc. are too new to be that cheap.
Why would they offer Razer mouse + keyboard along with it?
This is like a huge nerdbait... be careful.
|
as an used system, what do you think the price range for this system should be?
|
This rings alot of alarm bells man... with all that stuff he should be selling it for 1000 and still I'd say you would consider buying it (depending on the condition). If he knows that much about computers to build that thing, there's no way he would sell it that cheap.
|
The price is a bit fishy.
|
Did this guy win this at a contest and wants to sell it quickly, but doesnt know the value?

Used or no, its pretty high quality... 800 would be a deal for you, I think

With the monitor, yes. Ask him to open up the case and make sure everything is there though lol.

800 wouldn't be a good deal at all. 650-700 is probably average for this rig (in can dollars)

$550 Canadian?!?!
That deal seems crazy good, I would definitely buy if it was legit. Check up on it for sure.
|
He could not sell that computer for $1000. At max it is worth around $900 by today's standards. $800 if you don't count the OS. Of course, you're going to have to go there to check up on it. Then again, it's used, so I would stay away unless he let you run Prime95 + other stuff to test out all the components.
|
Yea, the used bit scares me away. But if it were all new, the Deathadder/Lycosa and the 23.4 inch moniter is are like $300 on their own. If you can prime 95 the components and they check out, you should definitely try to pick it up.

I'd look into whether or not Starcraft 2 will support SLI. I was under the impression that it doesn't and won't (my CrossFire 2nd card is sitting idle when I play), but I've heard some people say they have it working, and admittedly I haven't spent too much time researching it because my FPS is fine. Anyways, it's something to look into.
EDIT: As for the hardware in general, it looks like a pretty nice deal. I'd go for it if you don't want to build your own and save even more.

Holy shit yeah thats a good deal. Even one of those gpu's are enough to run SC2 let alone both of them SLI'd. That's a really good deal for an already built and working computer and monitor for $550, you would have to spend almost double that just to build the same thing.

you don't think 800 wouldn't be a good deal?
I've seen core 2s with 7 or 8 series geforce cards, less ram, generic mice/keyboard and no monitor selling for 600+.
