I am in desperate need of a new computer before this one dies. I've been looking on Craigslist for a gaming computer. Could someone please check out these two links and let me know what you think. I personally was leaning toward the one in the Antec case for $580. It was just built. Dash wants me to get the other one. It was built a year ago and the guy said something was sliding on it. Not sure... Please give me some feedback as I'm afraid to lose either one of these deals. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sys/1064179537.html http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sys/1063506320.html
Well the second one is gone, so that only leaves you with the first. I say try to get something with at least a 4870 or an 8800GTX/9800GTX. 3850 Should be sufficient for many games though, if you really want it.
it doesn't look too bad... question is: can you build your own and do you have any hardware that could carry over such as optical drives or a monitor? you're basically paying for those things in duplicate if they still work on your current machine.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust Craigslist for that kind of thing either, how fragile those things can be I just wouldn't feel comfortable getting one from them. At best if I were you, if you know someone that can/know how, build your own, you'll save time and money. Otherwise check out www.newegg.com or www.tigerdirect.com. Those two sites are what I use, and I generally am the one buidlling computers/recommending computers to those I know.
