Looking at buying a computer from a co-worker, good deal?

Here's the specs, good deal or not for $400? Will it play most games with reasonable resolution? I am a NOOB with this stuff, thanks.

MSI P7N Platinum Motherboard

E8400 Core 2 duo 3.0GHZ CPU

8GB G-Skill DDR 800Mhz RAM

700W PSU (not sure of the brand)

2x 8800GTS GPUs in SLi (320MB)

500GB Seagate 7200RPM Sata HDD

Blu-Ray Drive

Antec Case

Windows Vista x64

Worth the price, how old is it???

Ye, I'd buy it. It's worth it. It will max out most games I think, not sure. :P

For $400 dollars, that's a great deal. One of those 8800GTS will max out most games out their, in fact they were the recommended graphics cards for Crysis when it first came out. Just make sure he isn't screwing you with some malfunctioning components or like a previous poster said, a virus.

That is decent price for that, considering if he made it two years ago he paid more than 1,000. But if i were you i would sell one 8800gts and buy a nvidia 260 considering they are almost less than 200$. Then run the 8800 as a ageia card if you want to. Also upgrade the cpu and you should have a decent computer for under 800 with the upgrades. If i were you i would get that in a hurry.

8800gts run in sli is better than a 9800gt! :o :o

Well if this thread comes back to life. Have you bought the computer yet or decide not to?
