Hey there. I was looking around on Craigslist today, and came across a listing for a used Intel Core i7-950 and a EVGA X58 FTW3 mobo for only $100 each. From the looks of it, the guy was parting out a pretty decent computer, there was also two different power supplies and a EVGA GTX 470 video card (all of which I'm not really interested in, I'd rather find something newer/cheaper).
So I have a few questions: first off, are these parts worth the price? They seem a little dated so I'm already a bit unsure. If so, what parts would you recommend to complete the build? It should include a case, RAM, PSU, a graphics card and aftermarket CPU heatsink. For hard drive I'm thinking either a Seagate Barracuda or WD blue is good. May look into a SSD. I am on a pretty tight budget of around $550. If that isn't feasible, I suppose I could save up a bit longer too. I am looking to use this computer for gaming, schoolwork and possibly video editing.
Thank you all very much in advance. Sorry if I sound like a bit of a newbie, because I am lol.
