Buying my first gaming pc...on craigslist?

[FakeSympathy]

I am preparing to make transaction for this pc. I am buying off from craigslist and he's offering $1000 for the following

- Processor: i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz, 4201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
- Graphics: GTX 1060 6 GB
- Ram: 16GB
- HDD: 1 TB
- SSD: 150 GB
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- Monitor: 27-inch 1920x1080 60 hz
- Keyboard & Mouse

I am told him to hold to the deal for few days for me to decide. Should I proceed? He said he'll do a live demonstration and everything over at my place

I wouldn't necessarily that's a bad deal, but if its used you'd be better off building your own for a similar price

[Harry Gumdropzap]

if this is for gaming i wouldnt reccomend buying this
its still good, but its not as good for gaming
you can get a i5 8400 and a gtx 1070, which is a better choice for gaming
i made this really quickly: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gh4yHh
reason i didnt add the windows 10 is because you can buy a windows 10 key for like 5 dollars, as long if you choose a trusted seller your already

this guy adds a monitor, so his is techinically cheaper, but with the specs i shows you ^^
but if you choose the i5 8400 and 1070 i would reccomend either a 144hz 1080p monitor (around 200 dollars), or a 1440p monitor (around 220 dollars)

That is pretty bad deal for those parts.
750$ is more like it.

[_I_]

with monitor os and complete buid, its not a bad deal

ask what power supply is in it, brand/model

[Ralf]

Since we don't know the quality from components, here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MYbWJ8 similar PC for 1006$ brand new.

[FakeSympathy]

I should've probably mentioned he was already offering $800 for the computer, and $200 for the other stuff

250 dollars more but new with twice the SSD size and wifi.
With 8 GB or i3 8350K instead you can get 100-110 dollars off from that.

300 dollars more.

You get this with the monitor for $920, it has half the RAM and lack the small SSD but ..

Sure, keyboard and mouse too. Anyway I'm not sure it's worth to get it used. If nothing else maybe you could link him some new stuff and see if $800 or so would work. But you say that was too late now =P

I am also considering getting a gtx 1070 pc and a 144hz monitor for $1680:

Don't buy those prebuilts, they are bad choices even when on sale.

Almost same price but you have:

Better power supply
Better cooler
Bigger and faster SSD
Better motherboard
Better 1070Ti model
Bigger HDD
