Hi there, I found this on ebay. The seller is asking for $500. Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400 2.8ghz Black Edition Powercolor 1GB HD 4890 4GB DDR2 800mhz DVD Burner Corsair 650W PSU 500GB 5400rpm HDD Antec 900 Is this a good deal or can I get a better bang for buck if I build something myself or can I make it better with some upgrades? Thank you |
