Hi, I found something similar: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Asus-D510MT-I74790080F-Intel-H81-I7-4790-8gb-Ddr3-1tb/44803677

With this spec.: i7-4790; H81; RAM: 4GB; HDD: 500GB.

It's worth to get it for ~450$ and lower price? Maybe there is something wrong? Another components quality?

I think it could be good starter pc, just need change some parts in future h81 ---> h97, or z97, better psu, ram, and add decent gpu...

Need any opinions, and thank you...

So let me just start off by saying that it is much better to build a PC than to buy one. It is cheaper, pretty easy, and much more fun

However, if this is not an option for any reason, although I do strongly recommend it, I can help you with these prebuilt PC struggles.
Second, what is your budget? There could be some much better options I could help you out with.

Without knowing if this is an new/refurbished off-the-shelf system or a used system you found on Craigslist/EBay, all I can say is it's either one heck of a find (unlikely), an extremely beat upon system (possible) or new/used using garbage components (most likely). That said, the cost of replacing these components would likely negate any potential savings you might get now.

Not recommended, I'd save up some more money, to be honest. Although this is a good suggestion, it is a better to save up around 800$. At that point, you have a build to last you years.

That wasn't a recommendation. It was only a price comparison using the components the OP identified and the cheapest components necessary to complete the build. That gave a price comparison so the OP would have a better idea of what to expect, component-wise in the system he found.

Ah, I see, sorry about that.

Main thing what I need is good cpu for longer time and motherboard. It's can be used, I saw comparison of i7, from 2600k to 6700k all runs about same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDo-j00vUtw What a difference if I grab old 2600k build pc for 200-300$, and add 970 gtx, or get just new i7 + board for 400 - 500$, but also needs money for other things. So I don't know what to do...

What is the most you're going to be willing to pay? If it's not 800$, I would recommend saving up the money to get there. At that point, you can get a nice pc to last you for a good 2-3 years or even longer.
