Hello community,
I'm new to this forum and to PC gaming in general. I do game on the mac from time to time but it just got to the point where I needed something better. So I searched on craigslist for a cheap local gaming PC (poor college student here). The one that caught my eye was "$1000 PC for only 400! SUPER DEAL". He told me he spent around $1000 to make it a year ago. I talked him down to $350 and this what I got:
CPU: Intel core i7-4770K @ 3.5GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR3
MOBO: MSI Z97 PC Mate
PSU: Some cheap 600W power supply unit
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB (dedicated) 4GB (shared)
Storage: A 50GB SSD (for OS and various apps) and a 1TB HDD (for main storage)
Case: Cpberpowerpc case with a giant fan on the side with a see thru part lit up with blue LEDs, 2 fans on top (one is not working) liquid cooled cpu system, and has 3 gauges on it that measure fan speed, internal temp, and one is a VU meter (none of which seem to be working correctly but I am not 100% sure on it).Oh and the front audio jack has some static when I plug in headphones.
The deal also came with a 24 inch 1080p LED 60Hz monitor by Insignia model # NS-24E730A1.
So what I want to know is, did I get ripped off? Thank you for your expert advice! If I forgot something or said something wrong just let me know.
