Im kinda a computer noob and would like someone else's input on this. So this computer comes with 400gb hard drive not sure of rpm, and also a 120gb SSD. I brought the price down to 550 and he agreed but without SSD, i then offered 570 with SSD and he agreed. so now im just wondering is this really worth that much? Thank you!

Answer
amd 8320 = $129 on sale
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard = $129-139
GTX660= $160-190
8GB of ddr3-1866 memory = $70 (more then 8GB is useless)
that case and power supply in that are EXTREMELY crappy and cheap. (you can get a good case and good psu which are ofc better then those for probably around $100-120, as its like $50-60/ea. you can get an equal case/psu for like $80 total :/)
1TB hdd = $50 (anything less then 1TB are super old hdd and are terrible since they are slow)
120GB SSD can be as low as $60.
dvd drives are like $12-15, but you can reuse ones from old computers.
total for a brand new computer of equal or greater performance = $600-700 (for $700 you can get quite a bit better computer tbh)
personally i would recommend you build one yourself (id actually wait for the amd steamroller apus coming out jan 14th, since they will likely have better performance then the 8320 for a cheaper price).
"Will sell with whatever OS / Software you want on it."
means hes running a pirated windows os, and likely just has pirated software/games. all of that is worth $0! its stolen... u can download it yourself if that was the case (and u have no idea which pirated software he downloaded maybe has hidden spyware or malware in it).
also from the pics, i can see that side duct caked with dust, meaning he likely doesnt take too good care of the computer (ESPECIALLY the fact he didnt fking clean it for the picture he uses for selling :/)
imo its not really worth it, since its used and seemly poorly taken care of, i wouldnt suggest paying more then like $500 (including the ssd).
"With all-new components, it came in at about $1,200"
even in their "prime" that hardware will have NEVER CAME CLOSE to $1200... even paying full price for everything... blatant lies...

Answer
Yes for what it has it is a great gaming computer, let me highlight some special things that stuck out.
4gb Ram, that is Fantastic for games, your games will run crisp and clean.
a 640 MB Video card, again fantastic, right now one of the most demanding games out there for this is Call of Duty 4, and you need a minimum of 256mb video card for that to run properly thus you will blow that away as well.
The 500 gb hard Drive gives you enough space to hold as many games as you can thinki of.
The 17lcd monitor will be nice :), you can probably upgrade later, but it still works out great.
Oh and By the way having Windows XP on the machine is a gigantic plus for a gaming computer, some games still dont run quite as crisp on Vista as they do on XP.
All in all you will not find that many things in a computer for $1100 very many other places, I say go for it and start gaming Today!
Have fun!!
