SRL Archive - NOTA

I currently am looking for a new computer that will be used primarily as a gaming pc. I have multiple links below to Craigslist listing I thought as the better ones on my price range. I would appreciate it a lot if someone can looks over these and inform me on which is the best to buy. If you think none of these are any decent feel free to post any links for what you think I should get.

Thank you!

P.s- please excuse any typos I did this

"1000 gig ram= 1tb" - First link …lol
I recommend just building your own. The link below has some really good information for getting the best performance for the price. (Get an i5 or better)
http://www.hardware-revolution.com/computer-systems/gaming-pc/

Also Tom's Hardware (Website) Has great information about computers

And if you don't trust your self to build one
http://www.ibuypower.com/
Just watch out with what they put as default because generally it will have like 3 good parts and then 2 mediocre ones.

If you would like specific help on what to get let me know :)

Edit: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/sys/3075153384.html Is by far the best you listed if It is real

First of all that you for replying. I sure he meant 1000 gbs not ram lol. I will look into the link you gave me before I start thinking about building my own because there will be added costs with tax. Thank you for your time.


I am Intrested in ibuypower.com do you have any experience with them?

Could watch places like Newegg and SlickDeals as well. I haven't personally bought stuff from either computer, but my Uncle is a techy and those are where he gets almost all of his parts.

I found a link to another computer that looked pretty decent. Can someone simply explain what to look for so I don't keep bothering you guys. Thanks!

Honestly all 2nd hand computers on the market today are overpriced. That last comp is only worth $500, but also consider you don't get any warranty. I dunno, maybe lowball him?

Honestly, do not buy something off craigslist or used. Just build your own or pay for someone to build it for you. That way you know the parts are new and can return them if faulty. If you give me about how much you are looking to spend I can help you with what to buy.

Ok. Building my own is becoming to look more appealing if you can find something around 675-720 USD Tax included That Is a decent computer I think I am able to build it myself with all the YouTube videos to help me out


http://pcpartpicker.com/p/aiBS these are the parts i picked according to http://www.hardware-revolution.com/computer-systems/gaming-pc/ can someone look over these and tell me if its a good choice. Thanks

Looks good, I would highly recommend paying for an i5 if you can afford it

For Memory

Just watched a linustechtips on youtube, he demonstrated that for gaming the i3 is on par with the i5. (quadcore having 0 bonus over dualcore).
Yes that build looks good Final_Stand, I would suggest 8GB of ram btw, Based Lord has a good suggestion for memory.

You can find very good deals on craigslist keep looking. I honestly recommend it over buying a gaming pc.

Last week I bought my PC for $500. It came with a 24 inch monitor, ATI Radeon 5800 ( Plays BF3 on ultra no lag), i7 processor, cooler master case by cosmos with firewire, and a blueray player, 4gb memory (will upgrade to at least 8 in a while), and some other crap.

Just the freaking case costs $200 alone. It looks like a freaking tank, and the thing weighs like 50lbs.

It runs every game I've tried fine on max graphics. Sometimes I tune it down to high because of the ram.


I don't suggest any of the above at the moment. Just keep looking and you may find a good deal like mines. Mine came pretty much ready to play any of the new released games for only $500.
