Friendly Steve Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Personally I would not buy it. These are some comparisons to whats in the computer to whats in my rig and its 5 years old. I spent $1300.00 CAD on mine (Yours would be about $900.00 CAD once converted) CPU My I5-4670k Far out preforms the AMD APU A8-7600 Quad-Core that is listed in the add. Also note how the seller adds the fancy words like "Super fast". Personally I hate when sellers do this because they are trying to up sell and trick buyers who do not know much about computers. CPU Comparison GPU My GTX 970 is far superior compared to the AMD Radeon R7 Graphics chip that is listed in the add and I myself even run into some FPS and performance issues on the server from time to time. GPU Comparison RAM The ram listed (16GB) is a good amount for games like Garrys mod and other RAM/CPU intensive games. HOWEVER it does not list a brand which is the issue. I have gone with no name RAMS or rams that are not one of the most popular ones and I have had a couple crap out on me. I currently have G Skill Ripjaws V Series (2x8GB = 16GB) of ram and have not ran into any issues at all. MOBO (Motherboard) Can't really find any information on your motherboard so it's hard to compare it to mine (Asus Maximum VI HERO) but normally the reliable ones are built by Gigabyte (Which I think the one in the add has), ASUS or other big name competitors. PC Part Picker.com I would highly suggest using this website to build your own PC to get an estimate on parts and then head to your local computer shop and get them help you pick out the parts you have selected. Also most places will probably charge $100 for them to build it for you so if anything goes wrong it's on them and they will replace whatever needs to be replaced. The best part about building your own computer you future proof it so to speak. You know how to add/remove things and you know you will have room to add stuff in the future when the next generation of games come out that are much more demanding. Instead of replacing an entire system you can simply upgrade to the next best GPU or CPU. Once you have done it once it is extremely easy to do it again. Let me know if you need help building a computer or anything like that! I can help you build one and pick the parts for you within your budget and walk you through the building process.

Timm Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Mine is a Grunt Ultra, and I personally recommend loooking at some of the PCS on here! Mine was really just a budget PC its kinda slow but it can run most everything. Its really only because the intel core is trash! (i3 6100) Also I would never recommend buying any PC off of EBAY. Its risky and you can get fooled easily. First of, my I3 core is still probably better than that AMD A8 in the one on EBAY. Id recommend spending the extra money and getting a i5 or i7 intel core. Second off, doesnt even have a SSD, and if your looking for a good PC nowadays, id use ironside and get there Solid State Drive, then get a 1TB primary HHD. Thirdly, it doesnt even list what Graphics card is onboard. I would recommend getting a NVIDIA 1060 Gtx Titan. (Or a 1080 if youre willing to pay that much.) I made the mistake of not researching enough about PCs before I bought mine but here it is anyways Here are my specs: Case:Grunt Ultra v1 Green, No Faction/Alliance, Green Fans (Dual)GPU: Nvidia 1050 GTX Ti 4gbCPU: Intel Core i3 6100 (Upgrading soon)Memory: 8GB (2 x4gb DDR4)Motherboard: H110 Chipset PSU: Evga @500 Watt 80 PlusPHD: 120 GB Ironside Certified SSDSHD: 1TBLiquid Coolant Feel free to add me on steam @ steamcommunity.com/user/slurppp/ for more details and help with your PC!
