Looking at buying this 2nd Hand, Opinions?

ZakkWylde · Oct 26, 2011

Hey I was browsing around Kijiji the other day and found this in my home town, emailed the guy and he was asking $900 for it. Now I don't think I would pay that but I figure I can talk him down to maybe $600/700. Let me know what you think (take into consideration the peripherals)

Actually, that's not bad. Worth the asking price IMO.

$250 for a new 6970.. The rest is all old stuff so say $200 for the 6970.
and 750W corsair used PSU is not worth buying IMHO

Its good, but I can trip mine with a sandy bridge CPU and single 580. So does not really live up to its 750W rating.

So.. $100 cpu, M4 board is worth what $80 used maybe

8GB ram no mention of speed or timings. $35-60
$50 for PSU since its used.

Blue series HDD, what 40 bucks maybe?

DVDRW goes for $20 new

so $10 without knowing the place it has been in.

$400 plus case.

+canada cost.. whats that 13%?

EDIT Oh I missed the monitor and stuff thanks for pointing that out

If new ish $80 for monitor, no idea about KB/M and phones.

Yeah 600 would be accurate

Windows adds another 60-100 bucks

Case- Cooler Master HAF932 - $80
CPU- AMD Phenom II 965BE - $90
CPU Cooler- Cooler Master V6GT - $35
Graphics Card- AMD Radeon HD 6970 - $250
Ram- Four 2GB G.Skill DDR3 - $50
Power Supply- Corsair TX750 - $60
Hard Drive- Western Digital 1TB 7200RPM Blue - $40
MotherBoard- Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 - $40
DVD-RW Combo Drive - $15
Monitor- Acer S211HL LED 21.5" - $80
Mouse- Logitech G500 - $30
Keyboard- Logitech G510 - $40
Headset- Creative Fatality Professional Series Gaming Headset MKII - $30

The total, according to my pricing, is $840. I guess if you throw in Windows and the labor, $900 is a more than fair price. $800 would be a deal for you, any less and it's a steal.

Let someone ghetto buy them.

Headphones aside, $900 is still a fair price if legitimate Windows 7 is included.

ZakkWylde · Oct 26, 2011

I will ask if it comes with the os, as for the headphones, meh give em wipe with one of those clorox wipes or whatever and they're good as new

. Im going to see what I can bargin this down to

ZakkWylde · Oct 27, 2011

Apparently no OS provided, thats cool tho, discussing $$ atm

eidairaman1 · Oct 27, 2011

im assumin thats gonna be 900 CAD, current exchange rate puts the USD stronger by 1 cent lmao.

ZakkWylde · Oct 27, 2011

yes CAD, hey we had like 6 or 7 cents on you guys just over a month ago

eidairaman1 · Oct 27, 2011

ya n i recall the CAD only being worth 42 US cents at one time too

ZakkWylde · Oct 27, 2011

Its actually better for our economy when our dollar is lower, better for exporting our bountiful natural resources lol

stargazer7 · Oct 27, 2011

its worth it. that's a reference card, those are hard to find now. the PSU is the new TX, it can't be used for more than a few months. cpu cooler is good too... there's not one part i can instantly dislike aside of the monitor or headset... the whole package is good, you know what i mean. :laugh:
