Small oil rigs need computer control as well you know.

Nothing, It'd be cheaper to wait for Ryzen 3
the 1100 4c/4t will be about 129.99, motherboard anywhere from 50-80
RAM will be 50-60 for 8GB
WAIT tm
If you can't I suppose 150 wouldn't be bad for a deprecated CPU, mobo, and RAM with no warranty.
But no more than 200, that's trash.

In the long run anyways.

Not really, it's an artistic illustration. The actual inside is black where the illustration shows the cool colour shit (the cpu die).

Sure, I fucked that one up. But it was me who suggested I should buy his old parts, to which he replied "uuhm, sure I guess".
>>59143983
But R3 isn't coming out that soon, which is why it seems tempting to buy some old stuff. If the price is too high I'll obviously wait, likely for the cheapest R5 and not all the way until R3.
I personally think 150 seems a bit much when Ryzen is right around the corner, but I'll have to see how cheap I can get him to sell it. I guess fixing his bike a couple of months ago should count as negotiation material.

Like I mentioned, It'd be cheaper in the long run. Why buy a mobo that old with only one upgrade path that you can't buy new from a trusted source?
If you go AM4 you've got performance for today with options for tomorrow.

I guess I'll have to hear how low he's willing to go. If he won't go under $100 I'll rather wait for R5, but if I can talk him into selling for $50-$75 I'll buy it.

250$ until march
100$ or less after march.
let that sink in
>>59143930
About three fiddy.
>>59143930
Oh yeah? He will "let you" take his old crappy outdated parts of him for a nominal fee? what a swell guy.
>>59143930
$60-$70
no more.

You do know this is an 18+ site, right?

175-250 USD is the ceiling pre-Ryzen. Honestly though I wouldn't bother as it's extremely bad right now. Intel i5 or i7 K series parts (new or old) are pretty much low to mid range CPU's now that Ryzen is here. I'd be skeptical of them being worth using in the lower end as YMMV there.

$100-150 depending on how much you value his friendship
whats up with the 2500k ive heard it before. is it a meme
