I have a dude offering to sell me his 970 for $150
He also said he'll help me price out other parts and put the PC together
Should I take him up on the offer and build my first pc?
>>338383678
how old is the card? You shouldn't really buy used gpus older than a year.
>>338383824
I'll ask him but why not? Don't people use the same gpu for years anyway?
>>338384007
Gpus degrade quickly, they are made to break soon after their warranty expires.

just get a ps4 bro
>>338384221
>2.3GHz
Enjoy your no frames.
>>338384007
Depends on how often they are used, what sort of condition they are used in, if he overclocked it
>>338384342
that's the point you moron
pc cucks will pay 30k for a rig that will be shit in less than 2 years and struggle to play games at 720p 30fps
meanwhile a $400 ps4 can play games in 1080p 60fps for the next 8 years
>>338383824
>>338384119
>>338384439
he said he's had it for 5 months

So, what is the PS4's 1.6GHz. Checkmate.
>>338384221
>p-please buy a ps4
sonycucks are pathetic
Why don't you hop on back to neoshit and shill your paid online and 10 frames per second elsewhere cuck?
>>338384592
Why is he selling it?
Because he is doing it way below market value
>>338384620
prove me wrong you can't
a ps4>pc any time any day
>>338384119
CPUs degrade quickly too, Intel has a "feature" inside their Haswell and beyond CPUs to deterioate the heatspreader after a year to force people to upgrade whether it's because their CPU overheated and died or their CPU begins to throttle and slow down.

How do people still not know what bait is
>>338384737
he's upgrading to the 1070/1080 when they come out
>>338384221
>18-core CPU
>640$ mobo
>2x12gb GPUs
>1350W psu
Nobody will fall for this bait, right?
>>338384991
Please explain how is that a bait?
Check benchmarks
you need that to run 900p at 30fps even then it struggles
>>338384945
Maybe you just got lucky then
Yeah its a good deal, 5 months use shouldnt have any impact
Your friend is probably not the most efficient with his money though
>>338384459
kek look at this inbred IQ post
>>338384592
if you trust him, I would buy it but if you don't, I wouldn't get it. Sounds kind of fishy he would be selling it for so cheap
>>338385093
found the guy that spend 30k on pc just to play games at 720p
stay mad pc cuck
>>338384991
that's not a gaming build, tard
>>338384991
Of course. People are stupid. Especially children. Compounded with confirmation bias, yes...people will certainly fall for this bait.

>>338384119
Do they now?
I use my GPU for 5 years now and I notice nothing. Barely ever cleaned my rig during that time, too.
Maybe I just got lucky.
>>338385382
>>338384221
that PC is not build to play games with, idiot
>>338384342
It's an Intel, not fucking AMD.
2.0 Ghz Intel is as good as 4.0 AMD because of how shitty AMD's IPC are.
That Xeon can go up to 3.6Ghz and even more.
That top-end Xeon is for rendering, the 2x Quadro should make it even more obvious.
>when fucking console plebs tryna talk pc
>>338384119
My 4 year old GPU is still going strong.
>>338385179
Where in my post did I mention that I thought it was? I'm fully aware that that kind of build would be for data processing or graphics rendering.
>>338383678
150$ is a good price for the card.
I got one too for 270€ last December and I'm planning to sell it in the upcoming months if the Polaris 10 cards are good.
>>338385105
I've never met the guy but he doesn't seem shady
>>338384221
>Xeon
>>338385752
You could always ask him if you could run some tests on it with GPU-Z and see how it performs.

and you're stuck with that shitty quality for the next 5 years
wait i'm sorry, 1.5 years, and then you get cucked by the newer console
>>338385752
he seems kinda fishy
it looks like he's trying to get rid of it as fast as he can
be careful

wew just stop dude you're making yourself look retarded
lurk another year
>>338383678
$150 would get you the new upcoming Polaris 10,the R7 470
It would offer the same performance as the GTX 970 / R9 390, while also
> being more efficient, 50w TDP card
> proper DX12 support
> proper 4/8GB VRAM
> fuckton newer improvements
This 970 offer is cheap, I would advise you to get it like 6 months ago, BUT for now, hold on for the newer lineups.
>>338384221
Change the Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Home and you'd have an excellent pile of shit.

Name 3 PS4 games that run at 1080p AND 60fps
>>338383678
>memecard
No anon, wait a few more months untill the 1080 drops, and the rest drop prices, you could get a new one for a little more than that, with warranty, and no latent damage, a common reason to sell that shit, i had an issue with a 660TI and since then i heavy test even new parts.
>>338385752
Why'd you draw a bunch of red and black dicks on your picture?
>>338387351
>No anon, wait a few more months untill the 1080 drops, and the rest drop prices, you could get a new one for a little more than that
Nope, that's not how it works anymore.
You might get a few sub $300 aftermarket cards with rebate, but that's it. Merchants clear out their stock way before they have to significantly drop prices.
