Need some opinions.

My girlfriend is looking at getting a new PC as her current one is a real POS (Celeron 1100Mhz, 512MB RAM, etc...).

Someone on some forums I mod has offered the following deal:

P4 2.6C
AOpen AXF45DN
1GB Generic RAM (2x 512)
9800 Pro
80GB HD
52x CD-ROM (She's got a DVD-RW she can toss in as well)
Generic window case w/ PSU

$250Canadian.

IMO this is a great deal. She can't afford to do any upgrades even if she were to get a S775/PCI-E system, and the video card is a real kicker for the price.

I've been looking on some other sites, both local stores, Dell *shudder* and Dell Outlet and haven't been able to find a deal anywhere close to this good.

The seller has offered to leave it with her for the weekend so I can go over and run some benchmarks/burn-in and whatnot.

Comments?

If she doesnt game, she can get a brand new dell amd system for ~$370. See this thread:
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1102792 (E521 w Athlon 64 3200+/1GB RAM/No monitor = $369.00)
And it would last her longer than the used P4.

Though, the P4 isnt a bad deal, I wouldnt pay $250 for it... $175 maybe.

That looks like an alright deal to me, and I agree, the 9800 is a bonus....
