Used PC consideration.

[JustAddMilk]

I recently found a PC for sale. I'm trying to replace components on my current rig. 

 

I have found a PC listed at 250. The parts I'm concerned about is the Intel i7 3820 processor and the DX79TO X97 mobo. I've read some good reviews about this processor. Heard nothing about the mobo. Current rig a FX6300, 16gb ram, and a Asus m5a99X evo r2.0. 

 

Would this be a decent deal for a used PC. I know the dangers of used computer parts. 

 

The reason why I want this PC is because of the other parts I could hold for building another PC.

I'd rather switch to something more recent something like ryzen...
