Hello Everyone,

So I've been thinking about getting into PC Gaming for a while now and I've been looking to get myself a good desktop in order to do so. I've been looking at the Alienware X51 R2s, but I haven't found one that seems just right. Someone that I know who's moving offered to sell my the following PC for $450.


"Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
MSI A88x-G45 Gaming motherboard
1 x Transcend SSD340 TS64GSSD340 2.5" 64GB
1 x WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB HDD
1 x PowerColor TurboDuo AXR9 270 2GBD5-TDHE/OC Radeon R9 270 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5
AMD 760K Richland Quad-Core 3.8GHz Socket FM2 100W AD760KWOHLBOX Desktop Processor
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
Rosewill Hive-550, Hive Series 550W Modular Power Supply
Cooler Master Seidon 120V -- Compact All-In-One CPU Liquid Water
6 x 120mm case fans
I also have a LG Internal 24x Super Multi with M-DISC(Disk Drive) that is not currently installed in the PC, but if you want it, its yours with purchase of PC."

Is this worth it, why or why not? If not, do you have any suggestions or ideas that might be better?

Thanks,

Red

well, open the case IN FRONT OF THE GUY(If you don't he will blame it you) and inspect for any water residue or something that raises a red flag for you.

Let him switch it on for you, or something dude, you cant buy it and just plug it in at home and its a broken system. what then....
If is already taken apart, if he wants your money bad he can rebuild it...

Then just let him switch it on.. watch the temps if you can of the cpu, listen to any ..... noises thats not suppose to be on the machine.. and then,,,, make a choice,

dude its a steal and maybe he needs the cash. but i almost got scammed once. i know that feeling.
