I've been wanting to get a desktop for quite some time now. My only problem with computers is that I know little to nothing about good specs. Anyways, this guy is my best-friend's half-brother. He upgrades his computer every year and is willing to sell his previous one to me.

I put in a normal Radeon HD 6700 video card... I took my high end card out when i bought my new system... he can upgrade if he wants however its probably good enough for whatever he is doing.
He's saying $450 (thinks it was $1300 when he got it).
I'm in no need for a gaming computer, but it'd be nice to be able to have the graphics card capable of running some of the modern ones at least. I'm also not the type of guy who likes to have the latest and greatest either (as my old-ass phone is evidence of that), so something that can last me the next 4 years or so is fine.
I'm just wondering what you guys think and if you have any suggestions.
I think that $450 is a decent price for this configuration. The good thing is that you can upgrade parts later if you want (as opposed to laptops), e.g. in a year or two.
I looked up comparable parts, and it would be about $700 or so new for equivalent parts today. Sounds like a pretty good deal. :)
I've already established contact with him. Yay me ~
Now to find a place to put this all at. I don't even have a desk in my room.
Set it up on ur bed. Who needs sleep anyway?
Wait... you guys have beds? o.o jk :haha:
If you didn't live out in the middle of.. well.. I just read where you live but I don't remember, but regardless.. I would offer to build you some shelving and desk room, but, I think you're more than an hours' drive from me =p
