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.

In terms of raw performance the $270 build you posted later would be better.
August 2, 2014 8:21:51 PM

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

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.
August 2, 2014 9:39:25 PM

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

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

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?

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.

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 :)

It doesn't have a price,but if you would offer how much would you offer for this?
a c 280 4 Gaming
August 3, 2014 12:05:55 PM

Around $500. The $420 will still game better however.
August 3, 2014 6:54:20 PM

  • Oh and the seller of the 270$ build said its 775 watt psu , so yeah enough space for upgradability, definitely

    That's an amazing deal. I would get it right away if you can.


    I can't buy a pc until or near the end of the month... I'll just hope it won't get sold until then...

    I would ask him if he can hold on to it because I have a feeling it will sell fast.
