Hi guys, please only reply if you know what you're talking about.

This is a PC I am looking at on eBay:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I want to know if it is good. I know it is a really good PC with the GPU and CPU but will it run fine? (will there be any problems).

I am thinking of upgrading the PSU on it as soon as I get the money but will it be good for now? Thanks guys!

Yes it will run games fine but honestly I would just build one instead of buying a "Gaming PC" on ebay.

Are you willing to build your own?

If so then
What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?

You're over paying, but it will work.

So if you don't mind it looking like a red LED potato and paying extra for it.

Get it.

Regarding both replies, first off thank you. I am not interested in building my own PC for now, although I do achknowledge the fact that it is cheaper.

And so you guys are saying it should be ok, not just for playing games but for using the PC over time, it wont overheat and blow up or some shit?

No, unless the idiot who built it is blind and retarded.

It should last you a good few years.

Might be their line of work, doesn't mean they didn't get a monkey to build it.

I mean it should be fine, but you never know unless you do it yourself.

I doubt they would hire someone for a PC building company who can't build a PC. But hey, we will find out when it arrives:)

On the listing it does not say what cpu cooler is used. as it is an unlocked i am guesing that you would overclock. im pretty sure that that cpu dose not come with a stock cpu cooler so what cooler comes with it?

The stock cooler is the one that comes from a factory. Just a normal, run of the mill, cooler. Will not do so well under overclocking. The Skylake chip should come with a cooler.
