PortzJ PC Finds

Hey guys,

I picked up this computer bundle and this is what I got for 100 Dollars.... (I don't much about computers)

Can you guys tell me whats good and whats not. I'll include a picture. All the ram not mentioned is DDR2 1gb ram.

 

Memory (DDR3)

-OCZ 2gb (2)

-G.Skill RipJawsX 2gb (3)

-Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2)

 

Graphics Card

-Vapor-x Radeon HD 5770

 

Hard Drive

-Seagate barracuda 1500 gb

 

Mother Boards

-Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P

-ASUS M5A 78L-M

 

Also got a evga 6 pin power cable..

I personally wouldn't use much more than the RAM, HDD, and GPU these days. Those could be reused for a lower end gaming rig.

 

I guess the motherboards could be as well, but all the CPUs compatible with those boards aren't really good for much so I would probably sell those.

 

If I could give my address out online, I would love to take that 1Gb DDR2 off your hands haha...

I've got a couple systems that could make use of it(check signature). I've got one system running for retro gaming and another one I might use for the same purpose and see which one is better. Both of which take DDR2 memory.

Advice from me would be sell the ddr2 memory and the motherboards. Keep the 8gb corsair memory and its your choice to whatever you want to do with the rest of the memory (probably keeping it is a good idea for later builds or something) You can use the Hard drive for storing games on and get an ssd if you make a gaming build to put your operating system on. The graphics card isnt that optimized for anything these days but you could try and use it on low settings or other games.

DDR2 is basically pointless, but for people like me it's brilliant. DDR3 is a bit too new for Windows XP which is the best for a dedicated retro gaming machine.

probably 5$ for each gb of memory. So like a 4gb stick 20$. Thats a little overpriced (like 3 dollars) but im just saying for estimate and also your gain
