Should I buy this?

[Snaeb_aka_Beans]

I flip PC's quite often.  Usually older PC's that I can fix up and higher end units.  But I don't get to mess with AMD very much on the CPU side.  Guy is asking $485 for this PC:

 

AMD FX-8320

Hyper 212

ASrock Extreme 4 990

2x8GB DDR3 1600MHz

240GB Crucial M500

1TB HDD

NZXT Switch 810

HD 6870

Thermaltake 1200W PSU

Windows 8 digital COA.

 

I was thinking of getting an R9-290 and selling it for 900-1000.  Thoughts?

That looks like a pretty steep asking price for a used PC with a new GPU.

There are many ambiguous parts, that you didn't state the exact model, so I went with the cheapest one. The build probably costs more than that. This seems to me like too good of a deal to be true. Make sure all parts are working before you buy it.

 

**NOTE** - According to partpicker, there is an incompatibility with that SSD and mobo. I guess you could remove it and keep it for yourself, or just use it somewhere else.
