yup... plenty!
I just finished building a build for my girlfriend consisting of this
used GTX970 and 250gb SSD from razor ramon for $350
used bitfenix white pandora mATX case for $70 from red flag deals (ABSOLUTELY A FUCKING STEAL!!)
8gb ram for $35 from red flag deals
Bitfenix modular 750w for $60 from red flag deals (BRAND NEW!!!! still in plastic wrap)
OS for $30 kinguin.net
CPU quad core i5-4xxx haswell model from hardware canucks for $165 (BRAND NEW!! , guy just received it from RMA and the sticker on the box is not even ripped!! good steal!)
mATX motherboard that supports m2 from ncix for $140 (very hard to get a LGA 1150 motherboard that supports m2 that is cheap used.... that is mATX as well haha)
total for everything is $850.00 that can handle any game I slap on
you really have to dig around the used market website, craigslist, hardware canucks, and redflagdeals to get a really good savings
if i bought this all new, would cost me $1150 - $1200+
the case is a friggin steal, guy is local from vancouver and is a reviewer for a known computer part website and only tested the case for a couple of days, feels brand new.... really gotta update yourself and check the sale section every morning or night incase someone else buys it
