Used? I wouldn't pay over $500 for it. The CPU isn't overclockable, and the 760 is mid-range at best. i7 sounds fancy, but means nothing for gaming and since it isn't a K model, you cannot OC, which limits the system and the value. Also, the power supply is downright pitiful, 330W isn't going to get you far if you decide to upgrade.

Edit: Yup, a similar computer (brand new) is only $585. The one I linked is also overclockable. An extra $200 and you could even get a 970, one of the most powerful cards on the market currently. If you pay any more than $500, you are being ripped off big time. There is absolutely nothing "high end" about this PC. I personally would only buy it if it came down to $400 or less.

OK, thanks for the feedback.  To be fair he does have 1 year of the extended warranty left.

Will the 760 be able to handle most games on mid to high settings?

The 760 is not "Mid-range at best" lol.  It's still a bairly high-end card, and should max out a decent portion of even the newest games.

OK thanks, seems like the consensus is that 500 is the max I should really be paying for this used machine though.  I am hoping that alienware holds its resale value a little bette if we ever go to sell it when he moves on to the next.

I wouldn't hope to much about how well be value alienware.  It is Dell after all...
