Have not tried it yet [emoji14]

oO nice where do you get stuff like that ... could be interesting, would try it for sure.
Sadly Coca Cola never dared to try anything new here in Germany as they were telling me for years "noone will buy new stuff"
Now that it is more or less to late with many many energy drink producers and even pepsi trying new stuff they started with ginger coke *blarg*

Welp, since a CERTAIN COMPANY IS BEING SHIT @Chary WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME

I took a gamble and bought a cheapo Asus prebuilt on eBay with very little info that claims to have:
A GTX 970
i5 3340s
16GB of RAM
and a 1TB HDD

...for $200 total. I highly doubt it has a 970 in it for this price, but for $200 the price is decent enough for a basic PC that's not a SFF Dell or HP that I can shove a GPU in. If it has no 970 in it, I'll just buy a 1060 for cheapo and toss one in it, but if it does than dang.

EDIT: Well, after some searching for the prebuilt it's supposed to be, I'm not...entirely confident in the actual specs https://www.asus.com/us/Tower-PCs/M11AA/ < Unless the swapped that 350W PSU for something bigger, there's no way a 970 was stable in that Hopefully they did, and I'm just getting real lucky.

Probably. It looks like the person selling it is clearing out an office, they had a bunch of other stuff for sale like monitors and a bunch of office supplies and office speakers and such so it's possible they just don't know what it's worth.

But I'm not expecting much . Though even if it is just the desktop without the GPU, I can just submit a claim for a partial refund, like say for the average cost of a used 970, and probably get $100 back to just buy one or something better myself

EDIT: I did see some Adobe icons on the taskbar in the pics they took, which does explain the silly amount of RAM for that CPU, and one of the icons was Photoshop which I know can use GPUs for rendering stuff, so it's entirely possible there was a GPU of some kind in it at one time or another...whether they took it out or have something shittier though, I suppose I'll find out when it shows up I'm still at least expecting the meh i5, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB HDD which is at the very least half decent for $200, seeing as it's not a SFF Dell with proprietary BS that's annoying to swap out.

Holy shit it wasn't a scam Actually has 16GB of RAM, 1TB HDD, and a fucking 970 in it. They replaced the stock PSU with a 500W one, which is good cuz the stock that was in this thing definitely wasn't powering a 970 lol.

Looks like it was indeed used as a render PC, for like those cheesy jumbotron video effects that play whenever shit happens They had a couple projects in After Effects for "Great plays" and Interceptions and stuff, mostly for ATT stadium, though most of them were on network drives that I obviously don't have so couldn't view much.

Still though, a 3rd gen i5, 16GB of (mismatched ) RAM, 1TB HDD, and a GTX 970 for $200 is a fucking steal. Shame that it'll basically be useless now...THANKS @Chary FOR LETTING THIS PURCHASE BE USELESS GOD

that is about the going rate of that build though. I heard The whole Mining craze really messed up new/used PC pricing though (especially used). A gtx970 today would be hard to sell for $60 today but 2 years ago wouldve gone fast at $400ish
