500 dollars for a used computer

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here at the forum and I am currently looking for a cheap used computer. I found this PC with 2 x 240 GB SSD, Intel i5 4460 with 32 gb of ddr3 ram and a gtx 760 (may upgrade) and it also includes a 27" Monitor from Samsung and everything costs 500 bucks. Is it worth it or not? Please motivate as I want to make a good deal.

 

If I would upgrade the graphics card, I found this used 780 Ti for 120$ and wanted to ask if that is a good deal aswell?

 

Thanks in advance,

Fhroozt.

If you would sell the individual parts, you might even get moar money. And that 32 gb of ddr3 is also "expencive". Would be worth it, if everything checks out.

I currently use a 32-bit work laptop hooked up to a monitor with that said, I would use this pc as my daily one.

The computer is a yes.  It for an upgraded gpu go with an rx 480 or 1060 6gb. You will have a very nice 1080p gaming rig then. I'm using that same cpu with less ram and the 480.

The other day newegg had an rx 480 4gb for 150 USD with 30 USD rebate. Takes it to 120 USD with free shipping. Also the 470 gets even better deals.

@Himommies His respons to me doesn't make any sence. It's not related to anything I said. He asked if it was worth it. I said yes. I also said that the individual parts would be worth that money, and even moar. (thus refering to the used computer itself) Talking about his 32-bit craptop... Can't see the link here.

Misclick as it seems. :) All is good. (and I am happy I asked politely, and not just troll/bash him too hard)
