Well, how much is a 4790k+z97 board + ssd where you live? (if you're in the US, then it would be like $500~, in which case I say you have to ask yourself if having an extra computer would be useful for the extra $200)

 

/your ram will work with the new parts anyway.

Do it... That's a great deal, and if you want, keep that computer in one piece and spend the money you saved on a new GPU and voila brand new nice computer and an old one for any other uses you might have

Assuming you trust the person you're buying from!

Does it work?  Deal then.

I'm curious: why is he selling a PC he built 3 weeks ago ?

[max785]

Everything is working fine.

i would rather buy new. The cost would not change much if you just bought new parts. also, the warranty will still be valid on new parts.

i don't believe they are 3 weeks old. and you can get the parts that you need for an upgrade for far cheaper then 650 or 700

Prove it.

[Ptopman]

If it works, get it.

[crispfact]

Prove it.

well i f just built a pc that was worth around that price, if not more expenisve at the time, why would i sell it? and i am speaking from experience here, a friend of mine bought a pc that was uses, similarly claimed to be a month old, take a look inside and its got a nice layer of dust. again.. just wouldn't trust it to be ONLY 3 weeks old...

I don't understand how you read that wrong.  You can't prove whether the seller is telling the truth, that was not the subject to address.  What I was referring to was proving that you could find parts of similar (or better) performance for less than $700.  Are you avoiding the obvious challenge?
