    Is $800 a good deal for below

    Specs:
    Processor - i7 3930k 3.2GHz (3.8GHz turbo) Six-Core 12MB L3 Cache
    CPU Cooling - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO Continuous Direct Contact 120mm
    Mother Board - ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011
    Memory - 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) [ 1600 works best with the i7s built in memory management ]
    SSD - OCZ Solid 3 SLD3-25SAT3-60G 2.5" 60GB SATA III MLC [ Very fast read and write speeds ]
    HDD - SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
    Video Card - GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
    Power Supply - COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series 1000W Modular
    Case - Antec Lanboy air Black / Yellow Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower -> Modular <- Case

    Have someone looking to sell a computer with the above specs for $800. Is this a good deal?

    What's wrong with it? That CPU brand new is $570...

    The entire PC brand new would be something like $1200+... So yes, assuming there's nothing wrong with it, $800 is a heck of a deal. Keep in mind: that CPU is entirely overkill for gaming, and the GPU is just "middle of the road" nowadays, so you may end up replacing the GPU in the next year or two depending on the games you play.

    ^ confirmed to be truth.

    This is a total steal right here
    Still wondering why I play this game.
    I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.

    the power suppley seems like huge overkill unless it's two 560s. but that case is amazing looking imo

    Smells like stolen (lan case...)

    It's worth lot more than that.
    Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
    Trolling should be.

    That guy must be desperate to get it off cause that's a total steal. The cpu alone is like 3/4 of that price

    He is looking to sell it because he needs funds for a new car. I was with him when he was building it just don't know all the nitty gritty details. Video card would run Planetside 2 no problem?

    Yeah it seems really shady, one doesn't simply put a $600 CPU into a computer with decent parts and trade it off for $800 while making a profit...

    IMO it's Stolen, or he's lying about the parts..

    Wow, if that is for real, that's probably the greatest deal I've ever seen in my life...the cpu and board brand new is already over 800$ lol

    Seeing a 3930k and a sabertooth in a build for less than 1k sounds too good to be true O.O
    if its legit; go for it! (you can replace other parts as you go if need be).

    on a side note by wary of the ssd , the "solid 3" series are far from what their name suggests (one i had died after +-4 months)

    it sounds like its one of the OPs buddies selling it? that is a seriously sick price, i would hop all over it personally.

    on top of the 700$+ cpu/mobo combination, you have a 200$ quality PSU + a really nice 150$ case, ive seen the lanboy in person and its no joke!

    I hope you actually know the person and this isn't a posting on craigslist or something, because that looks like the steal of the century. Buy it if it's actually working and legit.
