Good Craigslist deal?

What do you think? I would end up putting a higher end quad core in it. Not sure which one exactly. Totally depends on money at the current time.

But anyways, is this a good deal for the price? Or should I work him down?

$475 for a case/780i/8800gt is a pretty terrible deal

imo, not a good deal, you can build better for less.

A tad overpriced for a poor case, so-so power supply, a three year old video card and motherboard.

The maximum I would offer is around one seventy five for an incomplete system as detailed.

Read some links on this forum. Many have detailed five hundred dollar budget builds in the past.

Okay, thanks a ton.

Read this thread and then post your answers for some expert assistance.

Good luck.

My eyes hurt from reading that.

While my eyes are adjusting, posting this blindly, I concur: Not worth $500 for a meh-quality mobo based on a trouble some chipset, relatively old video card, small amount of RAM, and low quality Ultra PSU. $175 max. As everyone here has stated so far, you can do a whole lot better than that for $500.

So go through the first or two pages of this part of the forum, find out the general recommendations, answer the stickied questions, and post a build where we will critique it.
