Is this computer a good deal?

[alfajr]

Hey, found this ad and got the guy down to 1.9k shipped. Let me know what you think about the price and if you see any red flags in the computer build. I priced it on newegg at around 2.4k, not including the screens\software.



-------------------------Well i have built the ultimate gaming computer that will run, play and do anything you want it to do. Now i have a little girl on the way and im not going to have to time game anymore... This rig is only 3 months old all parts were purchased NEW all from frys minus the Video cards cause i had to order them and the screens i ordered through dell. I'm a network engineer and been building systems along time and now that i can have my ultimate system i dont have time for it " Go Figure lol ONLY reason im selling is due to i dont have time to commit to wow, diablo3, SC3 etc so im selling it. All parts are CURRENTLY sold at frys, Radeon Video cards at Sapphire if you want the sapphire version and the screens from dell. I have specs, descriptions and pics below and i also have the current pricing for the items if you were to goto frys and build this today! After you see below you will see that 2100.00 is cheap...

Everything all together to buy if you were to goto the store or order is $7098.81 before tax.. So as you can see the price im listing for is a great deal!!

 

[deathlimited]

So many overpriced parts.

 

[alfajr]

So many overpriced parts.

Yup, but it still seems like a decent deal since its about half off newegg. no?

 

[PKSays]

not a bad deal especially IF he gives you the cdkeys for adobe you can always sell them if not then it's just okay of a deal, 1.9k is still a lot of money.

Thanks for the input. I think ill go for it. Its pretty close to what I wanted and anything new on newegg thats comparable would be quite a bit more. Especially since im stuck paying sales tax on newegg since I live in california.

Not really holding my breath on the keys though...

 

[r0sc0]

Thats really not a great deal pal! why the hell would you want to buy a amd system in the first place, i build systems for a living and i wouldnt touch that.
do your self a favour build your own and do a bit of research!

actually if he's gonna be doing an assload of botting AMD price/client ratio has been awesome, but that's for machines that are $600-800, an AMD with 8 cores (same price or cheaper then an i7) can bot more copies of the game.

it's his money, and if the cdkeys are legit he could literally sell them and make almost all his money back + keep the system.

Thanks for the input. I'm still going back and forth; but i really do think thats alot of hardware for 1.9k especially since it was bought new just a few months ago. Im not looking for a specific computer, im sure this one will do everything i need and it come with 3 screens/windows/office.

do you know how to tell if the keys are legit?

 

[PKSays]

well for things like Office he would have the CDs with them, and for Adobe he would either have the cds with cdkeys or like me he would have purchased it online and can show you a screenshot of them and shit, but if he got them illegally along withthe windows 7 I dont know why he lists that as "$3000 saved for software" when it takes a few minutes to torrent them all for free

Hmm... The thing is I asked for a lower priced without the keys for adobe and he didn't seem to care either way so I sort of assumed they weren't worth anything. But he might just want to get rid of everything....

 

[PKSays]

well if he's not giving you legit keys i don't really think it's that great of a deal, so many SSDs, theres no reason for that lol.

what will you be using the computer for?

 

[alfajr]

But lets assume I can't resell the adobe keys for whatever reason. This computer wouldn't be a "bad" deal right? This is my strongest computer right now http://news.cnet.com/8301-13845_3-10144225-58/get-a-loaded-hp-gaming-desktop-for-$619.99/

lol

 

[alfajr]

The price should include the keys, i'll try to get him to clarify whats going on with the software.

 

[declensionsone]

an intel 6 core would run more bots than this, and cost less. If you're using just for botting you don't need 2 GPUs, and I have no idea why anyone needs 4 SSDs.

this can run 20-30 bots and cost under $1500

i7 6 core, 670 gtx, 32gb ram


in the end it depends what you're using the computer for. Purely botting you can build a comp that runs 15+ bots for under $1000, and you can forget about using the comp for anything else.

If you're just going to be doing light botting 1-4 bots + gaming it can be done for $1000-1500, depending on what gpu you choose, ssd, and if you need a monitor.

 

[PKSays]

I saw your link, to be honest I did an inventory of buying those parts and building it yourself, and yeah the deal isn't bad for the parts, but it bugs me that he put such a high ass price on some of the parts that you can get for 1/3 of that.

monitors for example, look at this link: Dell Professional P2411H 24" Widescreen LED LCD Monitor - Black 0884116056553 | eBay

that's 1 monitor of the 3 for 30% of what he listed it, he says 3 monitors are over $1000? I can get the same ones for $330 (the link I showed you is EXACTLY those monitor).

the SSD's are half that price new, the first one that he lists at $300 you can get for $200 easy, and no point in 4 SSDs, not even sure why he has that many lol.

the graphics card costs at LEAST $250 though, so that's more then $500 in graphical power at least, which makes this deal a bit sweater.

your call man, it depends on what you wanna do with this shiz

i7 6 core, 670 gtx, 32gb ram

where can i get the drugs you're on? an i7 6 core costs 3x more then the 8 core amd, so no shit it outperforms it, the PC has a $200 CPU not a $600 one.

edit:
honestly if he parts out 3 SSDs, 1 GPU, and 2 monitors, he would still have a beastly computer and he could sell those 6 things for about $800-900 on eBay easily.

 

[alfajr]

what will you be using the computer for?

bots\productivity\games all at the same time

Yeah, I noticed that he over-estimated the price on quite a few items, but it still came out to a pretty solid discount after I priced it, and no tax. But a few things were discontinued, so I estimated, which I dont have alot of experience doing with computer components

 

[alfajr]

All this thing needs is a couple more SSD drives and ill be set!
