Hello everyone. I've decided that I'm gonna buy a new computer. The computer I have now is way out of date(doesn't even have agp slots.) And the best game I can play is Battlefield 1942. But I found a computer on ebay that's being sold by a company(not a private seller) for 869$. I wanted to know if this is a reasonable price. Here are the specs.

Intel Pentium D 945 3.4GHz DUAL CORE 2X2MB Cache 800FSB Processor

ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA775 Motherboard
4 DDR2 / 2X PCIe X16 / 2 PCI / SATA2 / RAID / IEEE1394 FireWire

2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM

2X - Dual SLI Video Cards (512MB Total)
GeForce 7600GS 256MB PCI Express X16 (TWO CARDS)

320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive

1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive
16X DVDRW Dual Layer Burner

Realtek ALC883 6-channel CODEC

Marvell 88E1116 PHY Gigabit LAN featuring AI Net2
(Cable / DSL / Network Ready)

Black Neon Light & Side Window Case
with Front USB Ports & 600W Power Supply

Doesn't come with an OS, but i got that covered..


I'm not really looking for a top of the line super computer or anything either, just something that'll play all the new games and is easily upgradable.

Anyway, thanks in advance!

The Pentium D stinks, not exactly new CPU. And that graphics card isn't that great either. You could have definetly built a better balanced computer with that money.

I wasn't really looking for the top of the line stuff. I do understand that building your own computer with parts from newegg.com is a lot cheaper, but I'm not good at building anything so I was kinda afraid of doing that because i didn't want to mess up a part and have to buy another. All I really want out of this computer is to be able to play all of the newer games with at least descent graphics and a good framerate. The computer I have at the moment is old and can barely play Halo on low.. all It has is a crappy Celeron D 2.93ghz 1.5gigs of non-ddr2 ram and an ancient nvidia fx 5200 128mb pci video card. So even if the new computer I get isn't the best out there, it's still a major upgrade to the computer I have, plus once I get the money I can go ahead and buy a core2duo and maybe a couple new graphics cards that are more up to date.

Also, i'm sorry for being rude in my last post. I had just got off work, so i was kind of grouchy.
