Second hand advice

[TerabyteMike]

I have found someone selling a z77 sabertooth with an i7 3770k for £250? Do you reckon that's a good deal? Will be hopefully overclocking this to 4.5ghz. I'm hoping to use it for around a year with some video editing but mostly gaming. Also just really want a sabertooth mobk because of the shield on it. Any help would be great

unless that includes ram it's a price i dont think i'd pay.

Based on other sales of the same this past month, it appears to be the expensive end of average. Others included 16GB, for about £265...
Maybe start offers around teh £200 and haggle around?

I do know how you feel, with regard to the Sabertooth, though!!

 

[TerabyteMike]

Just like the shroud to have complete black build. Ok maybe I will try to get £200. Already got ram so don't need that

Bloke here at work just got offered the same deal on the same pair... You don't work in Hammersmith Trunk Ops Depot by any chance, do you?

 

[TerabyteMike]

Ha no I don't. Funny though. I think I'm gonna scout around a bit more.

I bought my z77 sabertooth 2nd hand for about £100 and I feel that was probably a bit too much.

Of course once you get access to the member's market then ebay looks super expensive and risky in comparison.

OK cool cheers. I guess one day I might have access. It seems on eBay that Intel CPUs are much more expensive than similarly specd AMD ones. Might just wait on upgrade until I get a really good deal

2nd hand z77 boards go for a fortune, even the very low end ones that where £40 new like the giga DS3H can fetch over £100 now.
