Hello, I've been looking to build a computer for quite a while, however after some events I've had to lower my budget. A friend just build a new system, and hes offering me his old one for 450$, these are the specs
*Intel i5 750 2.6ghz
*ATI Radeon 4890 1GB
*4 GB Ram 1333mhz
*mAtx Motherboard
*Blu-ray / Dvd / Cd Rom Drive (yes you can watch Blu-Ray movies
*500watt Power Supply
*500gb Hard drive space 7200 rpm
*4 Usb ports 2.1
*Windows 7 Ultimate,
Hes also including a
Samsung 22 inch LCD monitor
*2ms response time
*1680 x 1050 res
However I don't need it, but I could sell for 50$ I believe.
He says he buld it 2 years ago and that it runs battlefield in high settings. Is this a good buy or should I just make a new computer for 450$?
Approximate Purchase Date: The next couple of weeks.
Budget Range: 450-500$ before rebates.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, I would like to play new games and decent settings, and to use it for the next 1-2 years without problems.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, OS, CD drive.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon or tigerdirect, I live in California so tax is a big deal.
Country: USA.
Parts Preferences: Not looking for anything in specific, just the best build possible for this budget.
Overclocking: Maybe in a few years, not necessary tough.
SLI or Crossfire: Don't this its possible at this budget.
Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080, don't mind lowering the resolution for newer games.
Additional Comments: A relatively quiet PC would be ok.
Thank you.
