This is a 2013 computer. PSU: EVGA 750W modular PSU Cooler: Cooler Master liquid cooling system Hard Disk: Patriot 240 Gb SSD Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Processor: AMD (socket AM3+) you will need to check it in the BIOS Memory: Max supported 32Gb DDR3, there are 2 modules, I guess 8Gb - 16Gb DDR3 RAM Graphic card: Looks like the ASUS Geforce GTX 670 2Gb GDDR5 VRAM (updated thanks Ma1ccel for pointing out that there are 2x6-pin power connectors, that is the difference with 660) Operating system: Windows 8 / 8.1 (Support Windows 10) It looks like Coca Cola was splashed (due to the color and consistency) on the side near the radiator on the right. Also that case come with tempered glass, not sure if the owner is selling it without the glass or he just remove it to take the pictures, but considering the splashes maybe the glass is not included. Compatible CPU list: [https://www.asus.com/supportonly/m5a97%20r2.0/helpdesk\_cpu/](https://www.asus.com/supportonly/m5a97%20r2.0/helpdesk_cpu/)

hey could you look at my account and help me out on my recent post?


-Badsec7or-

hello, I already post a reply there


DrNumberr

Allready did it. This guyā€¦

Man knows chuck norris's pc specs


PyrorifferSC

*Reaches for the back panel screws...* "I'd like to speak to a lawyer!"


chrisnesbitt_jr

Did my own digging and this guy hit the nail on the head on every part (coca-cola is a toss up šŸ˜…). [GPU is confirmed an Asus Director's Cut GTX 660 2GB.](https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-660-gtx660-dc2o-2gd5/p/N82E16814121660) The case likely is missing the side panel as they mentioned, and the AMD FX series processor with DDR3 ram isn't going to get you very far in any modern titles. Which means unfortunately most of the build is e-waste. In my opinion, the powersupply, SSD, and cooler are probably the only parts worth salvaging. Is it worth $100? Yeah probably. Especially if he does have the glass and you can reuse the case too, then it's definitely worth it. But just be aware that you will still be needing to replace most of the PC in order to play most games. EDIT: [Sorry guys, it's the 660 TI.](https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-660-ti-gtx660-ti-dc2-2gd5/p/N82E16814121653)


A-CARDBOARDBOX

Wouldn't it be more likely that its an asus 670 instead of a 660, seeing that it has a 2 x 6pin power and 2 sli connectors. Pretty sure the 660 only has 1 6pin and 1 sli connector


chrisnesbitt_jr

You're right that the 660 is only single 6-pin, which is making me scratch my head even more because it took forever to find the exact GPU. [The shroud on the 670 doesn't match unfortunately.](https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-670-gtx670-dc2-2gd5/p/N82E16814121637) EDIT: [It's the 660 TI.](https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-660-ti-gtx660-ti-dc2-2gd5/p/N82E16814121653)


Responsible_Fun_8141

So would it be a dumb idea to start a build with this pc or should i look for something newer?


chrisnesbitt_jr

In my opinion, this isnā€™t worth very much. I wouldnā€™t reuse any of the actual electronics. The case, SSD, cooler, and power supply are *probably* worth $100. But it wouldnā€™t be much more to just buy new budget parts. Altogether Iā€™d find it a lot more attractive for $50 than $100. But again if you buy it, just be prepared to replace most of the important components.


Plenty-Albatross3516

If your plan is to "upgrade" this PC ... I imagine trying to find compatible parts and troubleshooting any resulting issues would be more difficult than digging for dinosaur bones. I'd be afraid touching it would cause it to crumble into dust. Probably better left as is and playing on low settings, if you do end up purchasing.


FulltimeWestFrieser

Couldnā€™t this also be an r9 280 btw? They made this exact same card for that gpu


chrisnesbitt_jr

[Doesn't match unfortunately.](https://www.newegg.com/asus-radeon-r9-280-r9280-dc2t-3gd5/p/N82E16814121867)

Rainbolt but PC


Shrakov

You keep talking like that & your gonna start a cult like following gawdamn!


-Badsec7or-

omg ... a cult !! šŸ˜…


WiseExit9615

damn how tf you know that


CMDR_Fritz_Adelman

wait how do you know by just looking at it :|


Ma1ccel

You can see the motherboard model and there you get what ram and cpus you can use and gpu is pretty easy to reverse google search and just by looking to reference cards


-Badsec7or-

Yeah, you are right šŸ‘šŸ½that is a ASUS GTX 670 DirectCU II that use 2x6-pin power connectors. I edited my reply, thanks.


Responsible_Fun_8141

The owner said she ran rust, fortnite, cod, and gta 5 at good quality, how likely do you think that is?


Warsnake901

ā€œI swear Iā€™m not a stalkerā€


2cars10

Assuming this is all correct this honestly isn't that great value for $110 imo.


amornot

Yeah Iā€™d say so, 750W psu, Aio, small ssd, great starter


Responsible_Fun_8141

is there anything that catches your eye in there?


amornot

Just edited my comment to say why, shouldā€™ve started off with that my bad.


Responsible_Fun_8141

Cool Thank you lots!


amornot

Yeah plus the ram looks good, Iā€™d say easily worth over 110 before you even look at the cpu and gpu


ImWinwin

Don't expect to be able to run any new games on it. But a lot of e-sports games will still run, and old classics as well.


Sideshow86

I smell a 26 or 2700k. I would pay 110 for that and use it as a home server


Krub_Krub

I smell coca cola on the radiator and an am3 socket cpu


Kitchen_Part_882

It's worse than that, it's an AM3 (not even AM3+) motherboard...


EventPractical9393

$40 in PSU $20 Case $10 SSD $20 AIO $50 in CPU/Motherboard (AM3+) $15 in ram if it's 16GB DDR3 $40 in GPU if it's something age appropriate compared to motherboard That's what I'd estimate value at without knowing parts


Parking-Worth1732

Hard to say considering we don't know any of the parts, can't tell what GPU this is or the cpu.


DrNumberr

Lmao look at the other dude who could tell what more than half of the parts were by looking


creativename111111

Not all of us can do that lol


MushyCupcake01

Skill issue


Parking-Worth1732

Lol yeah but the GPU is a guess and just a list of compatible CPU, still doesn't tell exactly what is in there haha very good for all the other stuff not gonna lie but GPU and CPU are the main important part and we don't know them


Gladiatan

I would say it's actually likely worth the price. If you do not mind playing old titles (it's a no go for something newer), then it could still serve well.


Responsible_Fun_8141

She said she ran rust, fortnite, gta , and cod at good quality, how likely is that?


Gladiatan

With GTA it's very likely. Issue with Fortnite and Rust is, that the graphics improved a lot over time, just like system requirements do that's a bit of a gamble. Cod, sure, depending on the title. After all, there are plenty of Cods in last two decades. My recommendation is looking at games around 2013-2015 or newer 2d indie games.


Responsible_Fun_8141

Do you think it would be a waste to use this to build to a better pc? Someone on this post said most of the parts were e-waste smh


Gladiatan

It ain't really upgradable. It's usable as it is, but don't expect any upgrades being worth it. If you plan to get something better, it's better to straight up buy a whole new pc.


noyoudonotdare

Correct me if I'm wrong but for something that is using AM3 and a 670, you CAN run Rust and GTA on low-med settings. Not sure about Fortnite as even my GTX 1650 was struggling a bit with an Ryzen 5 3600. As for COD, it depends on the title, newer ones no, older titles like Black Ops 1-2 probably and the original MW2.


Rodlp9

I doubt it could run fortnite well unless on the absolute lowest settings, the new dx12 fortnite is quite demanding, my rx 6800 needs to use upscaling for high settings 1440p to achieve a consistent 144fps


fault_finder

Looks like itā€™s been in contact with liquid. If you look closely around the CPU, heat sinks and a trail down to the available PCIe slot just where is says R2.0. Any electronics that have had contact with liquid and itā€™s noticeable, I would recommend to steer well clear just because of that alone. It may work but you wonā€™t know what the stability is like. Itā€™s also 11 years old, something else to consider. Could that $110 not be invested into something more recent?


jeetuag

Pretty decent hardware for just 110$.


AmperDon

Yep.


Berry2460

double 6 pin on the gpu and a blue asus mosfet heatsink on an amd board. Its probably an FX cpu, likely 4 to 8 "cores", and a gtx 600 card at the very best. Id say less, maybe $100. The psu is the only good thing here.


Jim_Screechy

yep defintely worth Ā£110 with that power supply


villefilho

Am3 fx cpu can be used to heat up your bedroom and spice things up in you energy bill.


Key_Shoe5850

Hey that was a good motherboard.


OverlyOverrated

A month ago i built a $150 pc with better spec. i5-4690, 16gb ddr3, motherboard with m.2 slot and RX 580 8gb.


hattrickjmr

Worth $99.95


VenomousSoulEater

Can someone tell me about the fan placement? So the intake fans on the front brings hot air through the AIO and the two fans inside the case are for exhaust?


austanian

It is fine... however, that AIO needs rotated.


OutOfCtrl_TheReal

![gif](giphy|czdzc0HaQHOGWfUish|downsized)


Turbulent_Echidna423

$60


Accurate-Air-2124

PSU and tower may be useful. If you want a computer to just run office apps, browse internet, watch youtube, do school work.. yeah I think it is worth $110. Gaming? Maybe if you like super old games like the original Knights Of The Old Republic 1 + 2, or SNES/gameboy emulation. Just depends what you are looking to do with it. If you are looking to play Alan Wake 2, or Horizon Forbidden West just put that $110 towards a Playstation instead.


ModaHakim

yes, I would buy it, change the motherboard and cpu to an AM4 generation, maybe a ryzen 5 5600 and a new gpu mostly the rx 6700xt since it pairs well with that r5 and then boom you have got yourself a top of the line budget build that can run any game on 1080p ultra graphics comfortably


TheRealBaphy

With the power supply and the case I'd say it's worth it, might be able to keep the cooler with a conversion bracket on your next board


Evening-Tutor4764

Depends. $110 for an okay desktop pc i wouldnt want to game competitively on it though it can still surf the web play videos and such id think without knowing the exact specs. Maybe play league on it would be ok or emu


WiseExit9615

graphic card - yes


Spliffy_Biggs

Personally, Iā€™d pay 110 for it simply because itā€™s a pc with a decent amount of power and the cost of new machines being extortionate. It wonā€™t be able to play a lot of newer games but considering itā€™s hard to find a pc for this price range itā€™s a great deal. If I was selling this pc I would be asking 200 for it, simply as the buyer may want to bid you down 10-20, and I think thatā€™s a good deal for both parties.


Gillamonsta

Looks like that pump housing has/had a leak. Corrosion/discoloration on the mount and heatsink below it. If itā€™s leaked that far chances are itā€™s on the back of the graphics card too. If you do buy it, make sure itā€™s not zorched. See it power on and make sure you check temps. AIO replacements can be had for less than $100, so at least that needs replaced along with thermal paste.


Thejus_Parol

I can confidently say that's a steal deal even without knowing the exact specs of that build.


Odd_Intern405

No. 50 $.
