worth it ?

[brebis123]

I found a computer in my local classified for 1000$ CAD. it only has no gpu but I was wondering if you guys think it would be worth it?

No.

No, not with the current GPU market.

in canada, we are not as affected as you guys for gpus, for example, a gtx 1070 is only 550$ cad wich is like 400 us

It's not terrible, but as @Theguywhobea pointed out you might be better off looking for a system that includes the GPU if those are still expensive in your area. If this was $750 or $800 it'd be a decent deal.

What are you trying to do with your system?

Is it worth $1000? No.

 

I don't know if you need 6 cores and 12 threads, but for that kind of money, you are close to building an new 8700k system without a GPU.

 

I agree with dizmo, that $750, it would be ok.

keep in mind that here in canada cpu prices are high af 8700k is 500$ before taxes

That is why I thought a lower price for that system, like $750 is better.

 

I was doing the quote based on Canadian partpicker.... so...
