    New computer?

    Ok a friend of a friend is going to sell me a computer cheap. He says it's built for gaming. He says it has a 2 terabyte Harddrive. 8 gb of ram. i7 core Processor and a Guerrilla motherboard.
    If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.

    You forgot to mention the graphics card which is the most important part.
    Also the Guerrilla motherboard is a socket 1366 which is fairly old, how much is he asking for this?
    Intel i5-3570K @ 4.7GHz | MSI Z77 Mpower | Noctua NH-D14 | Corsair Vengeance LP White 1.35V 8GB 1600MHz
    Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Windforce 3X @ 1372/7604MHz | Corsair Force GT 120GB | Silverstone Fortress FT02 | Corsair VX450

    Like $70.

    I asked about the video card and thats when he told me about the guerrilla motherboard. He said it's a gaming motherboard.

    every component in your pc interacts with the motherboard, you dont buy a junk one, you still have to get one that isnt junk

    The gaming part is just a PR stunt, it will not give any increased performance in games.

    That is very cheap, I would take it even if it is old.

    Either way it will probably out perform my current computer that I bought from RAC 3 years ago.

    The CPU alone is worth more than $70 so whatever is in there, roll it.
