I know someone locally who is selling his Alienware x51 (I know it's Alienware but it's cheap) for $815. Here are the specs.
I7 3770
GTX 555 1GB GDDR5
8GB RAM @1600Mhz
Alienware Mobo
330W PSU
Windows 7 64 Bit
It seems pretty goo to me.
This is roughly what they are offering: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/15pyY
So, no, $815 isn't that great. Below $650, and maybe.
Why would he have a 3770 with that GPU?
That's Alienware for you.
They make me sick lol.
That PSU! lawl.
There's nothing on that system that I would consider "good".
The i7 is the only part to consider, it is the most valuable, and you can buy it new for $230. The rest of the system is trash. And you don't need an i7 for gaming.
The refreshed versions comes with the Haswell AND a 670

How about that! (sarcasm)
4GB of ram, really?
just out of curiousity, where'd you find the alienware mobo, and is it mini itx?
nope, and do you want a 850 build?
nah, im looking at a $700 dollar build
well I got work in the AM so I tell you what come back tomorrow around midnight and I should have a build posted on this thread for you
