I've been wanting a new pc for over a year but every time I try to set something up it falls through so here I am again. I was looking for some good performance at a low cost and a friend recommended craigslist. I was looking and found this set up.

Cpu: i7-3770k
GPU: MSI 1070, 8GB Vram
Boot Drive: Samsung 850/ ssd 250GB (Main Boot Drive)
Storage: 1x hdd 500GB
PSU: Evega 500watt/ Platinum rated
Ram: kingston/2x8GB 1800Mghz
Cooler: Thermaltake Water3.0 (front mounted CPU cooler)
CaptureCard: Avermedia 1080p
Case: Corsair 540 (White)
Windows 10, 64bit version Included

Dell 4K S2817Q 28"

All for 900 , maybe even less if I can haggle a little. I was just wondering if this is too good to be true or should I try to go through on it?

i would say go get it, $900 for an i7 and gtx 1070 with a 4k monitor seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Good deal. I would try to haggle on the storage because used drives are usually a bad idea.

 

Doesn't seem "way too good to be true" but I would ask him to do the standard stress benchmarks to make sure everything's working.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

That's low enough to worry. If I were to buy something just like that new, just the PSU, graphics card, SSD, HDD, case, cooler and monitor costs $1449.92 according to pcpartpicker (these are the only things still in stock). Add in ram, CPU, mobo (all used), that can easily shoot to $1600.
