The Build Saga: Part Five

The Offer.

Someone at work has been trying to sell his "custom gaming system".  I asked him about it when I first started building a new PC.  He wants 900 bucks for it and I laughed it off at the time, but my recent luck with out of stock or non-shipping parts has began to bother me.  The build is less than a year old and according to him has no current issues.  The CPU has even been overclocked.  The guy is pretty knowledgeable and I take his word for it, mostly.  I'd still like to see it in action.

Specs are as follows:

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost)
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
SAPPHIRE 100351SR Radeon HD 7970
OCZ Vector Series VTR1-25SAT3-256GB
Western Digital Black Drive 500GB
NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK ATX Full Tower Computer Case
CORSAIR HX series HX650 650W 
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 
SONY Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive 
ASUS VH236H Black 23" 2ms Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor 
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM
Logitech G700 Mouse
Logitech G15 Keyboard

It's a 2500K.  It's two generations behind, but still performs well in almost all circumstances that I'd use it for.  I lose out on a die-shrink, some memory tweaks and a whole lot of useless on-board GPU work.  I'm sure I would be sacrificing some performance, but I'd be getting a full system that already works AND it comes with a monitor, decent mouse, legit Windows key and a G15 (which might be a steal depending on which one is included).

I am really considering this for two reasons.  One, I think I might be able to talk him down 100 bucks.  Two because I could literally have the PC delivered to me at work and take it home and play on it THAT DAY.

Patience is a virtue, I never said I was virtuous.
