Hello,

I've run across an opportunity to purchase a used PC system for $450. Here are the specs that I was given:

Windows 7
8GB Ram
AMD PhenomIIx2 555 3,2Ghz
1TB HD
DVD-RW
ATI HD 5770
Silverstone case
Corsair CX500
Asus M4A88T_MLE Motherboard
Wireless Wifi Adaptor

Do you think this is worth $450?
 
hi,
Here is my estimation base on the info:

Windows 7 ==> 80 $
8GB Ram ==> 40$
AMD PhenomIIx2 555 3,2Ghz ==> 40$
1TB HD ==> 50 $
DVD-RW ==> 10 $
ATI HD 5770 ==> 30 $
Silverstone case ==> 50 $
Corsair CX500 ==> 50 $
Asus M4A88T_MLE Motherboard ==> 60 $
Wireless Wifi Adaptor ==> 30 $

This gives us 440 $ , keep in mind I didn't see the condition of the gear. Is windows a legit copy. Is the computer overclocked, overheating

The gear seems to be in very good shape. I am thinking of buying it from a retailer who bought it from one of his customers. He checked the system out and it is not overclocked.

I am not looking for a screamingly fast machine - I just want to replace the dinosaur that I have, which is this:

Windows XP
2GB Ram DDR2
Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz
1TB HD
DVD-RW
NVidia Geforce 7600GT
ECS P4M800Pro-M478

The above system is quite a bit above what I have, am I correct?

I don't game nearly as much as I used to - the only newish game i would want to play is Starcraft 2, and I don't care if it isn't running at the max settings. Other than that, its for basic internet and office use.

Could I expect to get something much better for around $500?
