Gaming PC

Probably a long shot here, but we'll give it a go.

In looking to further simplify I'm making the switch to consoles for gaming, I've had my PS3 for years and just picked up a 360. I've been an avid PC gamer for years (as stated many times on here) but I'm at the point now where I just don't feel like keeping up with all of it any longer. I'll miss the better graphics and tighter controls on the PC, but I'll get over it.

So here's what I've got for sale, I've included links to product pages on Amazon for reference. This is not a mid-line gaming PC, it's a high end rig built with quality components.

Case - Antec Twelve Hundred
Power Supply - Antec CP-850
Motherboard - Asus P8Z68-V Pro
CPU - Intel Core i5 2500K
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 with 2 fans in push-pull config
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1866
Video Card - eVGA GTX480
Sound Card - Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music
Hard Drive (SSD) - Intel X-25M 80GB
Hard Drive (Data) - 1TB Western Digital 'green' drive

This system is solid and will easily play anything out there at very detailed settings. The Z68 chipset that this thing runs on is a great chipset, you can read up on it if you want. It overclocks like a champ, runs easily at 4.2 without getting hot and without me even touching the voltages.

I lost the boxes for most of the components during our move in May, so I'm going to try to sell as a package, local pick up only first. If it doesn't move locally then I'll open up to shipping the whole system, and as a last resort I'll open up to shipping the components separately. Right now it's wiped clean with no OS, if you want me to install something we can talk.

$1000 for the whole deal, and if you're picking up locally (or willing to pay the extra shipping) I'll throw in a Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 speaker setup for free. My price seems fair, but if you can make a compelling argument that I should take less then I'll hear you out.

    I forgot to mention, I'll also be tossing in all the games that I have physical media for. Most of my stuff is purchased through Steam these days, but there are a few decent titles I still have discs for. I don't know all those off-hand but I'll list them out when I get home tonight.

    Very nice rig and a great price! Please PM me if it gets to the point you want to part it out, I'm interested in your SSD, and perhaps your mobo combo. GLWS!

    I just built a system with similar specs. I'm able to run COD:MW3 @ 1280x1024 easily. If you decide to split any of the games then please let me know.

    This machine will run pretty much anything out there on max settings, it's a beast.

    I haven't tried higher settings, just the default. Sorry if I implied a limitation. Point is, one shouldn't have a problem playing a modern game on this rig.

    I also use mine for video conversion. I used to use a laptop for this but over time the stress due to heat with increased CPU usage killed the laptop. It's better to use a desktop.

    Finally, the SDD (for OS) and HD (data) is a great combo. Really makes the PC quite responsive.

    Very nice, I've got a near identical setup in a Silverstone HTPC case (tight squeeze). Overkill for an HTPC but I use it for CAD and modelling at the house when I want to work from the recliner. :biggrin:

    Again, a very nice machine, and highly upgradable. GLWS!!!

    A couple quick updates:

    - Price drop for local DFW polkies to $950
    - I will ship this anywhere in the CONUS at the original asking price of $1000 and split shipping.
    - I'm also going to list this locally on CL

    If none of the above move it within a few days I'll open it up to parting everything out.

    Price Drop - $900 locally if you don't want Klipsch surround speaker setup, as I can sell that separately for $100 or so.

    I'm interested in the RAM and SSD when you are ready to sell. How old is the SSD; how much has it been used?

    I want to say I've had that Intel drive for less than a year. It's basically been off most of that time, only crank the PC up when gaming, which has been less and less lately. If you're concerned about the lifespan I wouldn't worry about it, should still have several more years left even with heavy usage, you'll end up upgrading it long before the drive ever gets close to reaching its max read/write count.

    Two things:

    1. That is a SICK price on the SSD. I thought I got a hell of a deal back in March when I picked up my 80gb X-25 for $110.

    2. What is the model of that BD burner?

    I'm not sure on the BD burner, all I know is it's an LG. I can check that when I tear the machine down over the weekend.

    Let me know on Friday if you wish to sell the SSD and the RAM to me. Of course if you have someone that wants the whole rig or wants a MB, CPU, RAM, SSD combo then you are welcome to sell them instead. Otherwise I will purchase.

    OK, I've got a few things sold off and a few other listed on eBay, so for the most part I'll close this down.

    Any of you locals though wanna make me an offer on the case and power supply, or the Klipsch speakers? I really don't wanna ship either of those, so I'm willing to take less than I'd like for those.
