enjoy man, i'm glad you got it so cheap!

ya thats a great deal for 150

hell yeah, nice find

You could probably sell the 16gb of ram for like $300 to scalpers at this point and buy two more PCs if your source has any more lying around :cookieMonster:

for ~100 more bucks you could upgrade the cpu to the i7-9700K which gives you 2 more cores and 2 more threads, has a higher boost clock speed + 3 more mb of cache; the very best of the best for that socket being the i9-9900k which is 8 core 16 threads, boost clock of 5 ghz & 16 mb of cache - but one of those cost more than u paid for the whole pc so not really worth it

not bad at all especially for that price. i upgraded early last year having the foresight that prices were about to get super forgety (although it happened for different reasons than i was expecting) and dropped way too much money on my 9800x3d/9070xt/64gb ddr5 system that has appreciated in value by a four-figure amount by this point lol. what you've got is more than capable of running some fun stuff

I might end up doing this but I think for now this is actually going to function extremely well for me. Even when I'm playing at similar FPS as I used to (With far better graphics settings) it's just sooo much more stable.

"Some fun stuff" I don't even actually play that many games that require a super strong system, Arma Reforger is the main one, maybe rust.

It's really nice though to know I'm actually at a pretty average to good framerate for games like CS2, I also can actually use source 2 sdk now.

hell of a steal, especially since premades with ""modern"" specs are easily 10-15x the price (and ironically buying piecemeal seems to be more expensive these days...).

what are the stickers tho

I think the stickers tell the story a bit, local cannabis shop, a beard related product that looked like it could be sold in a youtube video and.... a sticker from a special brand of covid themed HOLLOW POINTS? I think the guy might have been a bit of an internet memester.
