Hey guys,

I'm very new to PC gaming, and my current PC can't even run CS:GO... Recently I have been searching through my local Craigslist, and found this rig:

- Case
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 video card
- 4 GB DDR2 RAM
- Intel Core 2 Quad CPU - Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz
- Windows 7 - 64 bit
- 300 GB Hard drive
- 150 GB Hard drive

The person is asking for $450 or best offer

Is this a good deal?

You're starting to sacrifice things at that price... (I can't even get it to go down that far)

What exactly is the case he is used so ii could give you my opinion on a good price. And does it have an optical drive or come with any peripherals?
