Found a cheap used computer.......

[Erik4boss]

Case
Nexus Caterpillar silent 80$

 

Processor

Intel Core i5 2.67 Ghz Quad

 

idk, 230$

 

Motherboard

Gigabyte P55A USB3 SATA3

 

around 200$

 

RAM:

4 GB DDR3 (I don't know mhz, probably 1333)

 

around 80$

 

Harddrive:

250 GB SATA (needs a cheap 60$ upgrade, maybe a 60 gb SSD instead)

 

40$

 

Graphic card:

ASUS EAH 5750 HDMI VGA DVI

 

Around 150$

 

520 watt power supply.

 

70$

 

Just the computer, no OS, keyboard, monitor, you get it.

 

Shipping 30-50$.

 

So is this the best deal EVER for 500-550$? (Shipping included in this price)

And yes I know it is not THE best, but it is very good.

 

The price to build this new is about 900$ of what I just calculated.

Suggest you look into Swedish prices. The graphic card is 120$ The motherboard is 120$ and 1 TB costs 100$ so your stats are really wrong. (The first stats was maybe a little wrong)

convert this part list into your currency but even if it will be more that $550 it has some "special" things:

 

the parts are new(the other parts are about 4 years old)--> this means no warranty

and it's more powerful than that build

You are getting far ahead of yourself. Just looking at your i5 sandy bridge OLD cpu evaluation of 230$ is insane.

 

Yea, gpu is probably more like 70, comparing it to a 7770(old an new).  But everything else is pretty much good.

200$ for an old sandy motherboard? Yea sure... retailers sell it high because they sell 1 per year lol. I doubt it was 200$ even at launch.

Old hard drive may be worthless. 5 year old harddrive lost value and lifetime. donnt compare it to new. its 5 bucks and thats only if its working without errors and bad sectors.

Ok, there is a price difference in Sweden vs US.

Take the Core i7 4770k for example.

US: 339$

Sweden: 390$

The prices I calculated was how much they costed new. The new price is 900$ so if this now costs 500$ I'm thinking that all the parts are 40% off.

1. new price is not 900$ you would get 3570k, 8gb or ram, 7850 for that kind of money, even in sweden, 1tb etc... NEW

2. you dont evaluate system / parts like that

3. release prices and prices listed right now have nothing to do with evaluation. for example, ddr2 costs more than ddr3 right now. it doesnt make sence does it? Well it does, it doesnt sell well, its old technology, so they keep prices high. If you buy it, you only buy it because your system failed, you never buy half a decade old technology.

4. old hardware fails. hdd, memory, gpu, psu, mobo are all critical points. its not cheap to repair old harware, unless you buy used one.

5. we live on the same continent mate, but not on the same planet. i say its worth max 450 including higher prices in sweden/shipping, even that is a bit high and i did calculations in 10 seconds.

6. goodbye.
