Hi All,

First time posting here (or any forum for that matter..). I've read several threads here and found a lot of useful information so thanks! Hoping to find some help regarding buying a used PC.

The system components are as follows:
Nzxt h440 case
Asrock Fatat1ty h97 atx motherboard
Intel i7 4790 with stock heat sync
Hyperx fury ram 8gb (4gb + 4gb)
Gigabyte g1 windforce gtx 970 4gb
600w? psu (not sure about exact model here)
With additional
Wifi + Bluetooth adapters
Xbox 360 wireless adaptor + 2 authentic Xbox 360 controllers
and the option of adding a Samsung EVO 250gb SSD and 1tb hybrid drive.

The seller is willing to take 650 AUD for the system with no SSD/HDD, or adding the drives for 150 AUD. Does anybody have any thoughts on whether this is a decent deal? It will be my first gaming PC and I'm on a bit of a budget so I'm wary of diving into anything quickly. Also, I'm not looking for a mindblowing, insanely powerful PC, just hoping to get decent 1080p performance.

Thanks for any help! It's much appreciated.

Depending on the how many years old I guess. CPU worth a bunch and gtx 970 also as long as it is not used for mining :) Only real worry will be PSU, but not that expensive to replace. If 150 AUD for a new samsung ssd+ 1tb hdd, do it. Depending on the condition, I would say a good deal to me.

Thanks! Seller says it's only seen about 50hrs use, solely gaming. Sounds like it might be worth a go then.
