To be honest that sounds like a very good deal. Almost too good to be true. But if it's for real, that a very good price for it.

i5-2500k - used be like £30-£40

2TB HDD - used £15-25 depending on usage

corsair PSU - easily £25

64gb ssd - £15

corsair case - at least £30

HD 6870 - not a good card and I couldn't price it but let's say £10

 

So yeah, that's a very good starter gaming PC. I would totally add a 1050 Ti but considering the prices that even 1050 Ti reached I would wait or go for an older gen like 770, 780 as that PSU will easily take one and the case is spacious enough.

i was thinking for upgrade to a gtx750 

That's not really much of an upgrade from a 6870. You'll need to step up the game to a GTX1050 or a 760/770 at least to make it worthwhile for the money.

Just as I thought. I found your PC :)). This is an auction style listing. So it will sell to the highest bidder and reading the ad. it says that is collection or pay for postage if you want it posted.

 

Yep, when is too good to be true, 99% it's not.
