Re: $650 used gaming PC - good deal or no?


Get a friend that knows how and follow these begginer tips :
- Get the i5 3570k or 2500k
- Get a Z77 mobo ( dont go over the 140$ mark , ignore the "supercolouredstuff overpriced" tm )
- check memory + case + hdd + other periferals price.
look at gpu benchmarks and choose according to your budget.

now check how much Amps you need from the 12v rail.
When checking for psus , check for the quality and the 12v Amps ( some 800W psu are trash compared to others that have less Watts ) , Corsair is usually a good brand ( in price/performance ) and going for over than 60A on the 12v lets you go sli or Xfire in the future.
