Below is what I pulled from a local Craigslist ad. My motherboard blew and I'm dbating buying new components (8gm ram, 3570k, mobo, 7950 gpu) vs grabbing something someone put together. This has the CPU/mobo/ram and pretty close to the GPU I'd buy. The other parts are just a bonus.


I have a barely used gaming computer that I used for about 6 months, and its time to let it go. I spent around $1400 when I built this machine, and only looking to recoup some of my money. I will be more than happy to test out the machine for you, and also will run any games out right now on ultra. This system consists of the mid sized tower running windows 7 ultimate, a 24" LED monitor, Razer deathstalker keyboard, but no mouse.The complete list of specs are below.

See if you can get the price down by around $150. The case/cpu/gpu/psu/ram/mobo/fan are ~$950 alone, and with that you could get better components. And, because you are buying it used from a random person, before you get it make sure it is in working order, and you aren't gfetting scammed out of ~$1000.

Yeah, that's my biggest worry, really. I've already got a 750W psu, drives, case, monitor/kb/mouse from my old core duo setup. I was reminded as he just sent a text of "You still interested? My wife wants this computer gone lol, I marked my price down to $700. Which is a dang good deal for this comp"

I asked to shoot me some pics of whatever paperwork he has on the hardware, since he claims it's 6 months old he should be able to produce the majority for what I claimed were "warranty reasons".
