It's a bit old but still useful. I have no idea how much computers cost in Finland. What currency is that?

Do you have 20% VAT? So is that 900$ in Euros or USD?

If that is USD, that is a bad price. you can get better performance for less building brand new..

 

EDIT: @arcanesama ESPECIALLY if you have a 980ti laying around you want to throw in there. you can build a very high end system for 900 USD if you don't account for a high end GPU

almost 900 and much much better than your current selection (and it includes a GPU you don't need)

Recently I have seen ex-lease i7 2600 go for $100 NZD which is what I compare other hardware to

you could probably shuffle around specific parts for cheaper models and bring the cost down a tad. you also don't need a GPU. it was just a sample, as my assumption was 900 USD, which you said it was... either way, that used system is overpriced for its hardware.

it's good, need to bump up the RAM to 16GB i guess

[JoaoPRSousa]

The 780 is quite old already. I'd rather go with an i5 and a better/newer GPU.

Plus, you'd be wasting a bit of money by buying that motherboard and slapping a locked CPU to it.

UPDATE:

 

got much better rig for half the price
