Hi!

I'm considering buying a prebuild custom PC for gaming and was wondering if this card is still viable to play modern triple A game with decent graphic and fps.

Sorry if the question is stupid or if I've made a mistake in my post, I'm trying to get started :)

Thank you for your help!

 

P.-S.

Here's the full build:

Price asked: 1700$

Does it seems legit?

A 1070 or 1070ti will perform better.

Also that build is outdated and overpriced.

Is this still able to play good modern game or should I just build a new one from scrap? (Knowing that CAD is pretty bad at the moment)

A 980 Ti performs like a 1070, and a 6700k performs like an i5 8400. So those previous-generation high-end parts are equivalent to current-generation upper-midrange parts. It will play games fine, but that system might be a little overpriced, I don't know Canadian prices

Hey!

I know this as been a while since the last message, but the seller of the build above (that I have put here for your convenience) texted me back now asking 1400$ CAD for the build. Do you think this is getting more reasonable?

I'm also considering building one completely new with Black Friday incoming but I feel like the price of the canadian dollar is still pretty low which is why I was looking for prebuild computer.

 

Thank you!

Well you are a week away from black Friday why not wait and see what deals are out then.  If you can snag some good deals go forward with the new build.  If the deals aren't that great see if the system is still available.  Also don't be afraid to ask for a lower price, the worst thing he can tell you is no.  Sounds to me that he wants to get some black Friday deals also.  Probably why he lowered the price and texting you back now a week away.

Yeah, he told me he was selling it because he wasn't into gaming anymore, but I think I should consider your point of waiting for black friday at this time. Also, I've just noticed that he dropped the price 2 times in 20 days might look like he wants to get rid of it and be ready to re-negotiate.

I would low ball him now and see what he does if you can get it for a steal, jump on it if not it will make him think a little bit and give you time for Black Friday

I just put together a similar pc for my nephew, I wouldn't give him more than $1100. Just my two cents.

1400 in Canadian dollars, so around 1090 USD.

$1000 cad, the system i put together for my nephew cost $600 minus a gpu. So $100 cad is about right.

$200 for same cpu brand new, $100 for 8gb ram, $125 for z270 board, 800w psu $60, $90 for phanteks case. I threw in a 480gb sd but can be had for about $100. Roughly $600. Everything but the psu and ssd were brand new, not used.
