Good deal?

[Guiltyxz]

Hi, I was wondering is this a good deal as this seems to be a very powerful computer (especially the CPU) for the money, what are your thoughts?

For other countries:
600 GBP =

• 784.37 USD
• 1048.15 CAD
• 688.65 EUR

Seems maybe a bit much for 8GB of ram and a GTX 960. But not that bad, considering.

so, its basically a large die 7700k. 

 

motherboard is 230, cpu probs 200, ram, maybe 60, a 950 is maybe ehhh used 40? a copy of win 10 - 100... 

 

i guess its maybe worth it? but not really. i wouldnt find a use for a 7740x...

That's terrible, and the build was obviously put together by someone with the knowledge of the Verge (IE, basically nothing). And I would assume that the cable management would show that. 

You could get a better build with new parts for the same price. E.g.

Seems a bit high for what you are getting. I'd offer 450 and see if he bites? Then use the rest for upgrades.

Do you want to upgrade it for Workstation tasks? The build is worth the price tag and you can get a much better CPU like a 6 core that actually uses all the memory channels. 

 

If you want it for gaming it sucks. That graphics card is weak and the motherboard ate up too much of the budget for performance.
