So I am looking at desktops since mine is starting to really run slow when running multiple applications. I do not game but I do run multiple applications quite a bit. I have an opportunity to buy a custom built rig that is 3 yrs old for $300 shipped.
Current specs on the used rig I am looking to buy are
AMD x4 960 overclocked It scores 14kish 3dmark 06
ECS A780GM-A Ultra AM2+/AM3 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
hec HP585D RETAIL 585W ATX12V Power Supply
Small harddrive I think 80-120gb
EVGA 640-P2-N829-AR GeForce 8800GTS SSC 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
Thermaltake CL-P0464 DuOrb 80mm CPU Cooler
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 - 3 sticks
RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WB Black/Silver 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case
Comes with windows 7 Utimate
I currently have have an Emachines T3266 pre-built computer
CPU: amd athlon XP3200 2.20Ghz
Motherboard- First international Computer
Memory- 1536 MB DDR RAM
Graphics-NVIDIA GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU 64 Mbytes
HDD- 75 GB Western Digital
What do you guys think? Should I buy this used computer or something brand new pre-built? Not really looking to spend more than $500 Any questions I should be asking about the used computer? I know the hard drive is kinda small but I'm sure I can upgrade to a 1 TB for around $70
