Hi. My hagwon is not offering enough of a bump this year so I'm looking to leave and travel for a bit. I have two PC's that I built, one I built for my apartment and one I built to use in my classroom, so I'm selling these off now.

First, my home rig. This is a 'high mid-spec' rig, it will run all games on Max for a long time to come, Battlefield 4 and Rome 2: Total War included. It certainly eats up BF3 and Shogun 2. I built it in November, the parts are still considered to be pretty awesome.

I'm selling it for W1.4, and here is a breakdown of the specs.

Bitfenix Prodigy case
i7 3770 Intel CPU
ASRock z77e ITX motherboard
nVidia 660ti 2GB
Crucial M4 256GB SSD
1TB Western Digital Green HDD
Two extra Prodigy fans installed
Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM
Zalman 500W Power Supply
Zalman Fan controller

All cabling inside (SATA 6GB, etc)- Free.
Building fee- No charge.
Pick-up only, I won't be posting it (Seoul area).

I do not want to split up the components of this P.C., but I would be willing to keep the RAM, if you want to use less RAM, or if you already have some you want to use. I could also be convinced to keep the 1TB HDD and power supply if you have your own.
I can provide all the empty boxes for the components that are inside the case, I kept them all.
The case is not going to fit in a carry-on plane bag but will easily fit in a suitcase, it's significantly smaller than most gaming cases. Posting home will also possible and affordable.

My second PC is a budget gaming rig that I use as a work PC. I built it 3 weeks ago. It can handle games like League of Legends, DOTA 2, etc. And of course older games.

I'm selling it for W400,000.

Coolermaster Elite 120 Advanced case
AMD A10 5800K APU
ASRock FM2A85X-ITX Motherboard
Seagate Momentus Thin 500GB
Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM 8GB

All cabling inside (SATA 6GB, etc)- Free.
Building fee- No charge.
Pick-up only, I won't be posting it (Seoul area).

The AMD A10 5800K APU (CPU) is unique in that it has a decent graphics chip inside (much better than on Intel processors). This chip can crossfire with a dedicated graphics card, essentially acting like you are running two graphics cards. If someone wanted me to add this to the rig, I would install it for free; the card would only cost you 80,000 off of GMarket.

Both of these PC's are on Linux because I was using a Windows 7 trial previously and that has expired now. I can look into putting a new trial on though, that's good for 120 days. They also don't have disk drives because I don't use them, it's easier for me to download everything these days. If you have an external disk drive, they'll work fine.

Genuine offers only, no time wasters, no thread spoiling, prices are firm. I'm in Seoul and can meet anywhere on the subway line. Thanks!

Have been looking through the gaming rigs on CL, came to the conclusion that 1.4 is a tad high for the mid-spec PC. I'm dropping it to 1.3, and including a Samsung external DVD drive, pretty much brand new, used once.

Budget gaming PC stays at 400,000.

There are pics now at CL.

yeah not to rain on your parade but to give you an idea, i purchased a new pc 6 months ago at around 1.4mil that has similar specs to your high end one but it has a few higher specs running a 670gtx 4gb oc'ed windforce card and a 3tb hdd.

1.3 would be high for your machine, even if it was brand new.

1.4 including a Gigabyte 670 OC ? Doubtful, unless the CPU was a Celeron. Cause, that card is not what I would call cheap; http://prod.danawa.com/info/?pcode=1820135&cate1=861&cate2=876&cate3=972&cate4=&keyword=670 Would have been even more expensive 'six months ago'.


There is around W500,000 knocked off what it cost me to build this unit, and I only built in November. It has an i7 3770, which, as games like Crysis 3 start using multi-core more and more, will trump an i5 3750. Plus there is also a large 256GB SSD in mine. And 16GB of RAM. It's a fair price.

You have no idea what you're talking about. It cost me almost 1.8 million to build, at the cheapest prices possible. If you were to buy this at retail, you should add on another 200,000, bringing it to 2 mill, not 1.4.

Genuinely interested posters only please!

don't get offended champ, i'm just trying to help you sell your rig.

yes, my pc was actually 1.5mil, and yes it has a gigabyte windforce 4x 4gb 670gtx. my cpu is an i5 3570, not a celeron, as i obviously did not need the ivy bridge hd4000 nor would an i7 net me much more than 5 extra fps in most games. there are very few games that will see any performance benefit from an i7 versus the extra cost of an i7 over an i5. VERY few.

my ssd is only 128gb, but it's the fastest ssd adata makes which rivals the best from samsung, intel, corsair, etc., but my hdd is 3tb.

yes, all this for 1.5mil purchased in early january so around 5 months ago.

Funnily enough, you're doing the opposite. Here, let me help you.

My PC is W200,000 less than your PC was, has a better CPU which is going to come into its own with this coming generation of games, most likely a better motherboard, a better SSD, is probably smaller and more portable, has a converting power supply so it can be taken back to the west, and probably twice the RAM. Extra fans too. If someone needs more storage than a terabyte, I recommend an external drive (for movies, etc.) Extra HDD's can be installed as well, and that's very easy to do.

Any further thread spoiling will be reported. Cheers guys.

To be fair, it was 5 months ago as technology prices drop rather fast.

Also, note that your pc is used.

But the hardware seems good. You can ask for whatever amount you want. Let the buyer determine if he wants to pay it.

nope exact same ram model and size actually, 16gb corsair vengeance. your ssd is a 256gb crucial m4 with a marvell controller with 500mb sustained sequential read and 175mb sustained sequential write. mine is an adata with a sandforce controller that reads at 550mb and writes at 510mb. even though it's half the size of yours in terms of storage its performance is vastly superior. plus 128gb is more than enough for an OS and applications.

then if you want to do the "mine is bigger" dance, my hdd is THREE TIMES your size at 3tb compared to your 1tb. AND your platter spins at 5400rpm, mine at 7200rpm. another big performance difference.

it's as if you can't get enough of being wrong. my mobo is an asrock z77 extreme 3. as for my case it's a highly regarded standard atx with 6 fans that can be turned on and off as desired via the case itself.

yes your cpu is "better" though in real world performance almost not at all. again, even with games releasing now, you will only net a couple extra fps. anyone versed in intel chip architecture knows that an i5 is the cost to peformance king of pc gaming and that there is very little difference between an i5 and i7 besides hyperthreading. however my gpu runs circles around yours and in a GAMING RIG that is what is important. my gpu will gain a person many more fps than your i7 advantage could hope to do.

to add a final nail into the coffin your supposedly superior power supply is rated at 500watts. i've got a 620watt psu that supports two gpu's in case a user would like to run cards in SLI for a little bit of fun futureproofing. your psu will not be able to support another high end gpu. so there's that.

since pc's are one of my specialties, at first i was trying to help you by giving you an idea of the current market but now since you are behaving like a child my purpose is to keep people informed that your machine is not worth anything near what you are asking.

please feel free to report me and buyers, if you would like further information on a fair price for a new machine or have questions on current market values, please feel free to pm me.

edit: spelling
