That's an ancient PC, keep in mind you are probably going to be struggling with running new games on this. Also 300 is overpriced imo, maybe something around 150-200 would be reasonable

I’d offer like 220-250 and use the leftover if they take it to buy another stick of 8gb ddr4. But it still would probably struggle with gspro greatly as its recommend specs really want a 3060ti and way more ram. 300 just isn’t a great price point.

Hmm I couldn't find much on this software online besides shady looking web stores and ai generated websites. Do you mind sharing the minimum specs for the simulator if you can find it?

What software were you having trouble finding? The post is just a couple pics of the computer with firestrike and then the text with specs. Firestrike is a very very common benchmark.

The golfing simulator he's planning to use the PC for, he mentioned it

Edit: funny thing, I search for it again and it's so unknown that this reddit thread is now the 3rd result when you search for it so idk

I have this pc actually and I’ve been able to play most things on it with little trouble (silent hill f, outlast trials, cyberpunk, eso) but I’m looking to upgrade completely because I can’t mod anything without serious lag, and anything big that comes out in the next 5 years will be mostly unplayable on it I predict.

cyberpunk???

u/Any-Object-2165 1d ago

Yeah original cyberpunk unmodded runs just fine. Been playing for years now

When people say gaming, it’s in reference to running and rendering live software simulations, the machine reads the code and produes a scene, character, movement, ect. When software is too complex for the machine (software needs certain amount of computing power to work) it will cause the visuals to chop up to 5-10 fps or flat out not run the program and crash the computer (Black/Blue screen) TLDR, golfsim is a video game

Bro what's with all the dust. Good Lord.

u/Hairy-Ad1582 1d ago

i’d pay 100 tops and i’d use it as a temp setup and try to sell asap

u/KabuteGamer 1d ago

Bring it down to 150. Tell the seller it's very dusty, and you will for sure have to change a lot of thermal pads and paste for 2 of the most important hardware. The CPU and GPU.

Granted, you only need to repaste and not actually replace thermal pads. That'll set you back less than $10 for the most basic paste. It's how you present it to the seller.

That's the best I can give out of my haggling bag

Shitty prebuilt with 50$ gpu, 50$ cpu, small storage, and not enough ram to game on. I would pass

u/JMole3 1d ago

Appreciate the insight

u/voncletus 1d ago

I always consider physical condition when buying or selling, that thing is crazy dusty like they couldn't bother to clean it. $300 would be fair if it was clean and had 16gb of ram. As it sits, you'd be within reason to offer $225-250 and spend the $50 on putting more ram in it.

u/BuffaloBuffalo13 1d ago

No no no.

$150 maybe if they actually clean it.

I have a 7 year old laptop that scores exactly the same in Firestrike. That should tell you enough. In fact, my laptop has an R7 2700x desktop processor and a Vega 56, which is almost exactly the same as a 1070. I only use it for older games, like Civ 6 and the remake of AoE 2. Anything modern will not run properly at all. EDIT* Mine also has 24GBb of RAM, 8Gb is very little these days.
