ill tell you what if you got the receipts run prime 95. run it stable check inside for any damage. check the temps. and have the warrant receipt shouldnt be an issue but honestly for 1k u can build a brand new pc.


Yeah, for the same price I can get better GPU and SSD, but the rest of the parts will be worse


What is the program you are recommending?

Prime 95?

For i7,970,16gb you could get a brand new for 1300ish.
Its just the tax that will kill you. He's charging 1200 for a used computer with a 760 its not sketchy price wise.

I do like the build, but it's $1383 after tax

I think what it comes down to is the receipts honestly

I'll try to run as many tests as I can

Run Aida64, not Prime95.

Are you planning to overclock or just checking the stability of the CPU.

If just stability then no need to hardcore stress test it with Prime95 as it will probably run it to 95 degrees...

Am I off on this or what...
