Hey Guys so I was thinking for quite a while now about building myself a cheap second hand PC and seeing for myself if there really is some good to it out there for those on an extremely tight budget. I stumbled across what might be an amazing deal but I first wanted to hear from you guys if I should go for it or not. The specs are Intel Core i7 2600(non K), 8GB ram most probably generic DIMMS, 500GB HDD, I'm not too sure about the PSU however I have that sorted, all this for $160 USD, do you guys think I should go for it.

No graphics card but I already found a GTX 580 for 40 bucks and I have an decent ANTEC PSU lying around.

so why not? a 200$ PC with this specs is not that bad
