if it wasnt used that much, then yes, it is an ok deal.

Good for any setting of gaming?

 

[Danbuscus25]

it can run new games on low-medium settings.

This is how it looks from the inside https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1559290/PC_USED02.jpg

 

[Danbuscus25]

it looks fine.

It's an ok deal, nothing special.

What about this pc? http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/sys/4591086141.html

GPU- Gigabyte R9 270 OC 2 Gigs
CPU- i5 2400 @3.30 Ghz
Lian Li Case- All aluminum, very light
Gigabyte motherboard
8 Gigs Corsair Ram
2 TB HDD
500 Watt Corsair Power Supply
Windows 8.1 (or can install Windows 7 in preferred)
This seems like a great deal

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?

 

[Daniel Michael]

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.

In terms of raw performance the $270 build you posted later would be better.

 

[Daniel Michael]

So the 270$ build is the best ? The problem I have with it is the hard drive, even though it's ssd its not enough really

 

[Daniel Michael]

Also here is how the 420$ build looks from the inside : http://m.imgur.com/Md6pQlU

 

[RazerZ]

Out of all the options posted, the $420 will get you the best performance gaming wise. It is a noticeable step up from the other two builds. If you can afford it, go for it. It's a good deal.

 

[Daniel Michael]

I asked the person selling the 420$ build about the 3dmark06 score.
He said its 23659, very impressive!

 

[RazerZ]

Indeed, the R9 270 is much better compared to any of the GPUs in the other builds. Same goes for the i5 CPU.

 

[Daniel Michael]

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...

It's worse than any of the other builds you've posted so far.

Oh ok ...
Which build can run more games the 270$ one or the 300$ one?

 

[RazerZ]

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

 

[RazerZ]

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.

Hmm.. I might get it if you say it (270$ build)can run bf4 on medium settings.. Looks really promising,but the 420 build still is in the top also thank you for the fast response
