http://www.ebay.com/itm/281765731253?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT : Definitely a good workstation computer. i7-4790k and 16gb of RAM, but shit GPU EDIT: Refurb.. of course. Don't buy

http://www.ebay.com/itm/301559367586?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT : Don't buy, same as above except more expensive for whatever reason

Do you want a workstation or gaming computer? What is your budget

If workstation for $1000, which I assume it is based on the computers you were looking at, buy this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Q8yJ99 it's like the ones you listed but better. Balanced heavily toward CPU-intensive work, and has a weak graphics card

Hey guys so when i was looking on ebay and i found a bunch of HP desktops and when i tried to make a custom build it was more expensive even when i used places like pcpartspicker.com and stuff so here are a few of the desktops.

 

 

Please Comment with if i should buy one of these or if there is a better option.

DONT USE ANY OF THOSE BUILDS ASK FOR BUILD SUGGESTIONS HERE

My i5 6500 is bad and can't even maintain 4.5ghz, and 4.4ghz causes it to slowly become unstable over weeks with a vcore of 1.395. FML

Those PCs have less superior SSDs that break easily and are very small

The PSUs are usually made cheaper and less efficient than PSUs you buy when it's custom built

And those PSUs leave you with no room to SLI or Crossfire (or even a stronger card)

The Motherboards are also hard to determine and might not support overclocking as well as motherboards on custom builts

 

 

In other words all the key components look good on the spec sheet  (except GPU), but they won't last you a long time
