Great Pc Buy?

[Techinoob]

This guy ended up selling me a Pc and well these are the parts it comes with. ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9t4sCJ) 

 

Should i upgrade any of this? or should i just resell it for a higher price and get something better?

 

Thinking of buying one from Digital Storm's page.

What did you pay for it in the first place?

[Techinoob]

I ended up lowering it to 500 due to the fact that i traveled 2 hours to go pick it up.

[Brandon Cassie]

Isn't worth more than $500 or so

As long as you paid that much, it's decent

Also what are you planning to use it for

[Techinoob]

This

Also what are you planning to use it for

For gaming (If Possible) he said it runs games at High to Ultra Settings. I did a 3d Mark Demo test on it scored 5504

[NannerBeans]

Yeah personally I wouldn't have driven 2 hours to pick that up. It's not that great of a deal. If I had to upgrade something in it, it would probably be the graphics but it's not required.

What graphics card do you recommend me getting?

Budget?

[Techinoob]

Budget?

$280-$320

[NannerBeans]

What graphics card do you recommend me getting?

I usually recommend buying used. With that budget you could get a used R9 290 for probably just over $200 or if you want to spend more, you would probably be able to get a gtx 780. If you want new then a gtx 970 would be in your range.

But do you recommend me staying with this setup or resell for a higher price and buy one from DigitalStorm (The Apollo) Pc.

Selling the entire set-up is tough. I don't recommend Digital Storm though because it's overpriced. If you want to sell, I suggest selling the cpu, mobo, and gpu and then getting an intel setup with a better gpu. That might cost more than your budget though. You won't be able to sell it for more than you got it for though.

Don't buy prebuilt PCs, they are ridiculously overpriced, I would recommend you getting GTX970, it should handle new games maxed out at 1080p 60+FPS

Howcome? People don't buy Complete builds?

I really do plan on upgrading my CPU to a Intel but doing so would i have to upgrade my Mobo as well?

[NannerBeans]

Howcome? People don't buy Complete builds?

Yeah. Usually you need to discount it by a lot to sell a full system. For your system, I doubt anyone would pay more than $500 for it and after you pay for shipping and fees, you'll probably be left with a bit over $400.

Yes. They have different sockets and are not compatible.

This PC should cost half the money (I build my pc [specs below] for less!!), just keep current PC and get GTX970, FX 8320 is almost as good as i5, you don't really need any upgrade expect GPU

I plan on selling it locally around my area. and i have a few friends who might be interested but im just not sure because i don't know if i should just go for the Upgrade GPU and call it a day.

Does my motherboard support DUAL GPU's? if so can i leave my current one with the GTX? or would i need to buy 2 of the same brand?

It's harder to sell locally but I guess if you have a few friends that want it that would be good. It's still not worth any more than $500 though.
