Not bad, see if s/he can go to around $400.

I will ask him/her later.
Also I found this : http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/sys/4585081579.html
This is probably the weakest of all, but it got 10,000 on 3dmark06 so it seems promising, it also has a colorful led fans
, maybe I should get this one? What do you guys think? Is this deal actually good?-

This doesn't make sense ... It costs 270$ but has a intel Xeon http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/sys/4590174997.html
He probably ment 2700$, eh never mind

He means $270, which is a fair deal. Good rig for light gaming. The Xeon he has is now dated and isn't comparable to the latest generation of Xeons.

I also found this : http://longisland.craigslist.org/sys/4572203561.html
Which costs 250 and comes with a montior mouse and keyboard, that's a good deal but it's weaker than the 420$ one.
I might not buy a pc until the end of the month so this will be enough time to decide...

The $270 pc. Slightly weaker GPU, but it has a much better CPU.Can it play games like bf4 on ultra or high settings? I don't expect it to.. So the best choice right now is the 420$ build... I'm still searching though
But i find the 300$ build more valuable than the 270$ It has more space and it also has 620 psu which means good room for upgradability, oh I also need a DVD reader so il don't know if the 270$ build has one... I'll ask him what's the psu

The $300 pc is decent, but it has a terrible CPU and it only has 4GB of ram. Upgrading the CPU on it would also meaning upgrading the motherboard and that would add another $120 to the price. It should be able to play bf4 around medium settings.
The $270 pc includes a DVD drive, I can see it in the last picture.
