Gaming PC

[janner_10]

So I've been looking to build my own, but this popped up locally to me for fairy cheap. The guy build it 5 years ago but says he has upgraded it over time.

NZXT Vulcan M-ATX case with Fan controls.

AMD FX 6350 6 core processor overclocked from 3.8ghz to 4.2ghz.

Asus M5A78L-M PLUS/USB 3 motherboard.

MSI R9 270x 2gb graphics card (also overclocked).

2x 4gb Kingston HyperX Predator DDR3 1899mhz high-speed RAM (8gb in total).

WD Black edition 1tb hard drive.

Crucial memory 240gb high-speed boot SSD (fully powered on in under 10 seconds).

2x Corsair SP120 performance fans with switchable colour rings (Red and white included).

Corsair CX600M modular power supply.

Custom built EK liquid cooling system, complete with 120mm radiator, reservoir/ pump combo, and water block.

TP-Link WN822N high-speed Network adaptor.

Would this still perform today or is it too long in the tooth, he wants £450 for it.

Sounds like a lot. I've seen Intel i7 rigs go for a couple of hundred, and I built my network PC with a secondhand FX6350 CPU for about £200 including motherboard, RAM and CPU.

In the for sale section here; temeluchus has posted virtually a whole PC for less than the asking price of what you have been offered and it's a fair bit quicker too. Just missing a case I believe, I'd rather buy that one than the AMD you have been offered for THAT price.

[Nb]

Geezers on smack asking 450, its way too old.

That is a lot... However I paid that for a gfx card

I paid 100ish less for a similar build 3.5 years ago.

What are you attempting to play?

[janner_10]

I will be playing WOW mostly.

I'd avoid anything of the old AMD Bulldozer type (FX4xxx,6xxx,8xxx) for gaming. Lots of games have issues with them as they dont really have a full compliment of cores and that causes some issues.

Any intel quad core from socket 1155 on will be better really, and some of the nippier dual core intel chips run rings around the 6350 for gaming.

FX63xx and FX83xx aren't worth much, they're pretty old chips. I got my FX6300 for £70, mobo for £30, graphics card for £20 and 4GB DDR 4 for ~25 ish maybe, about 3 or 4 years ago. You should get a Ryzen build with that sort of money.

I just bought a new laptop that ruins that and it only cost £900 new,


120hz 1080p screen
GTX1060 6gb
Core i5 7300HQ
16GB DDR4
128GB m.2 SSD
1tb Hybrid Drive

Fuck paying half for a lower powered, second hand, desktop that's ancient.

He'd do better flogging the Case/PSU/cooling stuff separately I reckon. The Mobo/RAM/CPU/GPU is junk.

Took me less than a minute to find this...

There will be even better deals out there.

Tbh at 450 its a shit deal.

SSDs cost fuck all now and everything else in it is out of date.

Tbh your best bet right now is to buy a prebuilt if you want latest gen due to stocking issues with gpus.
Loads on 1 gen old builds on ebay, just make sure to collect in person. The mount of pcs i have seen destroyed by couriers is disgusting.

If it was £300 then it would be a maybe.

Then I'd be asking questions about the overclocking since it's a bit of a crappy overclock that he's managed.
