My friend is selling his budget rig for around $400.
Its specs include:
CPU: AMD A10-5800k
GPU: R7 260x
RAM: One 8 Gb stick @ 1866 MHz
Other Information:
1 Terabyte hard drive (7200 RPM), and a legitimate copy of Windows. I'm unsure of the motherboard or power supply but the rig has been running great for the few months he has had it.
My question is this: Is it a better option to buy the rig from him, knowing all the components match up and the system has been well put together and organized, or build one myself? He has been gaming at 720p on an older monitor. Would this system perform decently at 1080p? Regardless of whether I build or buy, I will be purchasing a 1080p monitor. I'm looking at this one for a little over $100 in specific.

If i were to build the computer myself I wouldn't want to spend much more than $400 (the price he is offering).
Is his budget rig a good deal? Is it adaquate for 1080p gaming, even on medium settings? Or could I build a better PC for around the same cost, not incluiding the price of Windows?
All comments and advice are appreciated.
