The build is quite good and balanced!

That's what I thought and not a bad price either. My friend is going to take the HD 6950 and get his brother a GTX 650 Ti or something around there.

i think is very nice prized and also the components aren't too old, in fact are pretty decent

Looks good

That's a nice find! The 6950 ain't bad at all, I only recently switched over to 780 from that card and it could still pull off 50-60 fps on Bioshock Infinite which blew my mind.

I think we are just going to flash it to a 6970

Only $650??

 

Forgive my language but...(I suggest) BUY THE BANANAS OUT OF THAT!!

just keep in mind that not all can be flashed to 6970. Only the earlier reference cards can IIRC.

Even so, still looks like a good deal :P

Depends if it's the 1st gen card or the second where they physically cut it. So basically if it's a newer card, flashing it will most likely brick it so be careful!

No matter what the GPU that is an amazing price! Pretty similar specs to my machine but half the price...
