Is he selling parts individually or all at once?

Whole thing with EVERYTHING monitor mouse keyboard speakers all the stuff, $2100.

It literally is a clean computer. He is a good friend and he is known for taking care of his belongings. Spent lots of time helping him with the cable management when building it.

EDIT: He wants to sell it as a whole package type deal.

We just saw today the difference between 8 gigs of ram and 3 gigs of ram. The increase in performance was 1%.
Kinda makes you wonder eh?
Nice setup for sure. Wish him luck in moving it... but like a custom car, it will never, ever, ever, get anywhere close ($ wise) to the amount put into it when selling. Regardless of peripherals.

 

[Misiek]

He is willing to negotiate the price, if anyone is interested in buying.

Damn, 1% thats terrible lol...

LMFAO that reminds me of something I saw posted on the steam forums on a L4D thread. Let's just say that the person who posted there would probably say:

"No shit there was only 1% increase in performance. You're lucky you didn't see a decrease since the increased memory will make the computer take a longer time to find the shit. Make memory too big and your computer like loses stuff in it and can't find it."

Yeah... I hope he didn't mean it.

Hey fellas, im the seller of this gaming pc, and just wanted to let everyone know that i have lowered to price to $1700 OBO...

Umm that 1% is BS and I will tell you that from experience. I can run PS and Premier and use 6gb of ram easy. Vs. 3gb running 3gb on Virtual mem. Some games it might not make a big difference but with future games out there, the more buffer room you have for game content the more that can load.

 

[HeatSurge]

It makes the hard drive grind less and allows for better textures and stuff. It doesn't make the games run faster per se though...

Yea, well for people in media, ram is useful. Especially for rendering and the like. But for gaming... not really needed.
We tested with games, not PS, Poser, or autocad, or anything of the like. Why, because obviously more ram would improve render times. Although a good 3D render card will do more for you than ram ever will.
