Did I get a good deal?

ajpbusiness3 · Jun 5, 2018

Recently purchased a custom gaming pc with all the parts in flawless condition. I worked on the price and we agreed on $500 for the PC AND a brand new Nintendo Switch which still retails for $299.

Both items do actually work and are in near perfect condition.

Here are the cpu specs...Did I get a good deal? Can it really play most games, even if only on low settings? Is it upgradeable? Pros/Cons? Thanks for any info!!!

MSI k9a2 platinum motherboard

AMD Phenom x4 9850 2.5 Ghz black edition 4 core cpu

8gb ddr2-8500 OCZ ram

500gb ECO WD hdd

Gigabyte GTX 960 windforce 4gb

750w kentec psu SLI

Fractual Design focus G case

6 led fans

triband wifi adapter 450mbs

Not really.

The CPU is a decade old and obsolete.

RAM is not worth enough to even mention.

The 960 is still pretty decent card but they can be had for under 150 dollars used, sometimes under 100.

And the PSU is aweful.

case is pretty nice still though.

Focus G is @$50. The gpu is @$100. The rest (DDR2 seriously?) is not worth more than $75-$100 total.

Basically you got a toy + decent case, possibly a usable gpu, but the rest is garbage

Sorry to sound like harsh but your CPU is way too old to handle current generation games, technology is old, it has a big die which will produce more heat and consume more power and even if you upgrade your GPU to the new one it will still not perform as the processor will bottleneck current generation CPU's.
