No. You can build something better for that same amount.

Did you say Samsung 1TB SSD?

I think the other people overlooked how expensive those are.

Try and barter for 900, or 950. 1K is a good price though for it imo.

I mean, yeah, if that's even just an 850 EVO it's a $390 drive new.

 

And the rest of it is worth $650 all put together, but then you're talking about having a 1TB SSD you might not need (I dont really need more than 500GB of space) and then you're talking about a CPU that's two generations behind and a GPU that's essentially $120 of dead weight hardware unless you want to mine with it.

The GPU is the largest weakness since Intel's IPC hasn't necessarily sky rocketed over the last few years in AMD's absence. That said, the GTX 770 is nestled right between the GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1060 in raw performance, but at the cost of efficiency and Pascal's feature set (Ansel, SMP, etc). So it would be more than suitable for competitive gaming such as LoL, Overwatch, HotS, SC2, and such, but it's not quite a paper weight either.

 

I wouldn't spend anywhere near $1000 for that machine. Without itemizing current market value for all those used parts, my ballpark estimate would range around $700 for this to be a good value. The 1TB Samsung SSD alone inflates its value quite a bit though; I'd be happier with a smaller SSD + 1-2TB HDD + better GPU than the current mix of mid/low GPU + large SSD. Maybe the seller would entertain dropping the SSD from the rig to bring it down to a more reasonable price:performance ratio.
