^ the bundles aren't really worth much - you can do better buying seperate.

For another $250 you could build a Ryzen system complete with case and psu... you will not have great gaming performance on the old FX series chip. I had an fx8350 and bottlenecked almost every game.

If you plan on gaming. I wouldn't purchase this. However, if you plan on using it as a workstation. That isn't a terrible price for those specs.

Andro, I dont have another $250 to work with unleas I save for a few more weeks. I plan on gaming but I dont need to play on max settings, was hoping it could handle newer games on mid settings. I would imagine I could always upgrade cpu and gpu later on correct?

You'd only be able to upgrade to another FX chip and it wouldn't be much of an upgrade and you would still bottleneck. You would have to replace everything to get a real upgrade such as mobo, ram and cpu as FX chipped boards do not support newer gen processors\components.

It's just not worth it. If I were you'd I'd save for another few weeks and get a Ryzen system.

The used PC you're looking at IS a fair price - after all there's around $150 worth of ram there alone.

That said you don't need 24gb ram , a 120gb ssd & a 500gb hard drive are bare minimums & its a very old platform to buy nowadays.

You're far far better off with a modern ryzen based build


You 'can' cut that down cheaper & still get decent performance but if you can afford it the 1600 is the best price/performance CPU currently available.

Cheaper option anyway for you to ponder
