So I'm one of those people that wants good parts for a sweet PC build yet lack the funds to buy those parts new, I have to compromise so I chose to go used. Everyone told me that this was a good way to do things with my situation, that is until someone who's opinion is not one I'd disregard told me to never buy used. This brought up questions: Is buying used a valid option? Does the quality of New Parts outweigh the price/performance of Used? I'm on the side of buying used, but now's the chance to convince me otherwise.

I'm looking to upgrade my tower from an Intel HD 2000, for obvious reasons, but I currently only have a budget of around $200 CAD so what would be my best option? It would also help to know what would be the next worthwhile upgrade so I don't waste money on a card that isn't really an upgrade (See profile for specs. because I'm too lazy to write them out)

This has a great combination of laptop portability and desktop performance. It's also a great help in a situation where you're building a gaming capable pc with a very limited budget.
