What is this desktop worth? Used Alienware

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.

...you are missing a motherboard and operating system. Those alone will run you about $150 more than the build you just linked (for a total of $735).

Edit: And a cd-drive, so increase that to $750. Add 7% sales tax, and you are at $800.

Actually, link got messed up, here's the new one-

Still $665. And worst case scenario, OP can boot linux on the desktop, plenty of games now support linux, as well as the Steam Machines. Windows is still vastly preferred, but still very important. Also, lots of people can get free copies of Windows from their universities (if they are college students) or their workplace.

And why would anyone need a disc-drive in today's age? Almost everything is digital on PC.
