that's kind of a lot for a used machine

It's not a terrible price, but if you're not in a hurry if you wait a bit we might see price drops on video cards with the crash of Bitcoin.

It's a computer shop so he can probably swap out the case for you.

Personally I'd build something with a 1700, and slightly different components for that money.

I'd avoid it then , they're trying to make a buck , just build it yourself for less.

not to mention if you take parts out of all their boxes and assemble a machine then try to sell it like that , i'd consider it used. 

I consider new to be unopened boxes. untouched by other peoples gross fingers..... lol

considering prices right now it does look like a pretty decent deal

Yeah that's what I'd do. See how much he'd discount it if you got 16GB of RAM, the case you want, and maybe up the SSD. The MX500 is very reasonable.

Not really. If you can make a better build for that price, by all means.

Considering they're a business, that's a poor way to look at it.

then buy it if it's such a great deal.....

and are now arguing that you SHOULD buy it.

if you don't want our opinion then just go blindly buy it. Doesn't affect me in the slightest.

Considering they're a business , that's exactly how you look at it. All they want is your money. Same as any other company.

You're kidding! That's shocking I meant more of your view on it being used if they've assembled it.
