Hey there guys, i am between a decision that confuses me which way to go.

So i am interested in X79 Platform and i listed myself some used and new parts. But then i came along an ad selling X79 PC for cheap (considered). These are the specs:

1. The X79 PC ($575.19)

i7-3820 | MSI X79 Extreme Gaming | 8GB DDR3 RAM | 4200RPM LED 12CM Air Cooling (CPU) | GTX 670 2GB | 500GB 7200RPM HDD | Venom Case | 700W PSU 80+ Pure

 

2. My own list

1. Intel Xeon E5-2630 v2 + 8GB ECC DDR3 RAM : $183.11
2. Asus Rampage IV Gene : $153.87
3. Sapphire Nitro+ ‎RX 480 8GB : $259.48
4. Corsair HX650i + Razer Kraken Pro : $120.90
5. Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 : $109.91
6. Seagate 1TB HDD ST1000DM010 : ‎$51.45
7. ‎Samsung 850 Evo 250GB : $85.13
8. ‎Corsair Carbide 330r : $51.45
Total : $1015.3

 

Which is more worth guys? Thank you for your opinions!

What country do you live in? In general, $600 for such an old and mediocre system is way too much. The 3820K is a quad core, you can't reuse DDR3 in modern platforms, and Kepler has aged like milk. 

6 core Ivy Bridge at 3.1 GHz doesn't really perform too well, compared to the $200 Ryzen 1600.

Unless you really love X79 and need ECC, something like this build will be better (assuming prices don't include tax, and that you live in the US)

Generally speaking a self built machine is always better than a pre-built (upgradeability and so on) but sometimes there are deals worth sacrificing those advantages. But I definitely agree with @seon123, your pricing is pretty weird. So check all prices where you live and choose the best price-to-performance.

@seon123 well i live in Indonesia where people are ridiculous at pricing old and new motherboards. I will find cheap parts for Ryzen
