Someone is selling a 2nd hand gaming PC, for 520$. These are the specs:
Core i7-3770k 3.5Ghz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Asus
Corsair Dominator Platinum (2x8) 16gb DDR3 1600Mhz
1TB HDD
Asus Sabertooth z77 Motherboard
SEASONIC 860W 80+ PLATINUM
COOLER MASTER STORM STRYKER

it also comes with a razer keyboard and samsung monitor.
Seems to me like a huge catch, i just wanted to ask for your opinion before buying it.
My main use is gaming, Fallout 4, BF 1 (holding my fingers), etc.

1 more thing: This PC is SLI ready? will i be able to plug in another GTX 780 in the future?
Thanks in advance! :D

That is a savage deal really savage after identifying that it works well GET it :) , Anyways no Sli isnt worthit speaking interms of heat output and the amount of power you will have to provide.

Also why I don't like the idea of SLIing the 780 is because Nvidia is Gimping it what that means is that the 780 is powerfull enough but For people to be forced to upgrade to newer hardware Nvidia is "Unoptimising" their drivers to perform comparatively poorly. Selling that 780 and upgrading to an RX 480 or a 1070 is the best choice if the performance isnt enough for you.

Like can you believe this ? a card that once was king of its kind blew everything away now is just left off struggling next to a Gtx a 4GB 960.

That pc will run @$700-$800 in parts on ebay. I run a 3770k build with a gtx970. No worries on anything in 1080p.

As mentioned, get a decent cooler, noctua nh-d14, phanteks ph-tc14pe, corsair h90 or better, nzxt Kraken x41 or x61. Worth the investment.
