Offer for this PC

[s1lent]

Hey,

1) Need a little advice. I have been offered $450 for this PC below! I wanted around $550 or $500. Can you tell me if you think I should go for it!

2) Also, with this money I am looking to buy a Laptop for Movies (Blu-ray and DVD's), work and for internet! I am looking to spend about $1000 or less! Can anyone suggest a good laptop?



Here is what is inside! Take a look!

ASUS Corsair I 941 pin motherboard (Nvidia chipset board)----
AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 5600+ 2.91 ghz--
DVD ROM------

Thanks for your help!

$450 is a decent offer and I would probably suggest taking it. The issue you are going to run into is, AMD chipsets are just not as fast as their newer cousins from Intel and the Sandy Bridge set ups and making them faster and cheaper. AMD is just not going to be able to keep up and, with that, it will be harder to sell systems based on the amd chipsets (also the athlon 64 x2 is getting old by comparison to many of the newer builds you will see) so I would take what you can get from it and move on.

It's worth maybe $350-$400 (mostly because of the GPU and monitor). If you got a $450 offer, you found yourself a sucker.
