    Should I Buy this comp and upgrade?

    Someone is selling:

    Amd fx 6300 3.5ghz
    Gigabyte ga-78lmt
    Patriot 8gb ddr3
    Western didgital caviar blue 1tb
    Xion xon 310 case
    Evga GeForce gtx 750 ti
    Corsair 430 watt semi modular

    + peripherals for $800, is that worth it/able to be be upgraded well?

    No that is not worth $800 or worth upgrading.

    If you can get it for like $400 or $500 at most then maybe. That CPU is 4 years old.

    This for $800 destroys it.

    Don't do it! You could build something twice as fast for the same cash.

    Mite be able to swap out the GPU for a better GPU around the same price or cheaper. All I did was just change the region. But even for $800 CAD you can build a better PC.

    The CPU in ur build above is 4 years old and doesn't really have a upgrade path worth doing. So I say $500 at most for ur build above, just so u can replace the CPU/MOBO.

    NO!! do not buy these pc for 800$!!!
    its way to much money. i wont buy this pc for 400$!!

    like the guys posted abouve you can get a nicer and newer rig for your 800$.

    my advice, buy a good cpu! (i5 6600k) buy a very cheep gpu if you dont have enough money!
    then save your money for 1 or 2 month and get a very nice gpu. the other gpu can be selled or you keep it if your main gpu makes trouble.
