Hi all

What whould you say ??

My friend got me an offer , but i am not sure if i should say yes or No

That's why i would like to hear you voice about it :)


My Computer is running Yosemite without any problems - Hardware is :

Gigabyte Z77-D3H
Intel I5 3,4 Ghz
Corsair H100i CPu cooler
16 gb Ram
XFX HD Radeon 7770 2 gb
Samsung 840 evo 250gb SSD
OCZ Vertex450 120 GB SSD
Seagate 1Tb HD
Bluetooth + wifi

My friend wants to swap my pc with his

27' Imac Late 2013
8 GB Ram
Intel I5 3,4 Ghz
1 Tb Hd


Do you guys think i should keep my pc or should i go for the Imac
 
It would really all depend on what you do with your computer now and what you would
be using the iMac for if you were to trade. Also will the iMac have any Apple care warranty
on it if you trade for it ?
 
If you're happy with the gaming performance of your current system I would just
stay with that. Don't think a 2013 iMac will be that much better for gaming. It
does have a much slower mechanical HDD that will feel slower to you. The cooling
capacity of the iMac is also something to be concerned with. You can't use a liquid
cooler inside the iMac as you already know.

because i have nothing better to do, i looked up used prices of your parts on ebay uk. the total of the parts on average is around 445 (thats not including ebay/paypal fees, so take off around 10-15%). you didnt include a case, but im feeling genourous so add £80. so 80+(445-10%)=around £490. round it up to £500

your friends imac doesnt sell for less than £700. that was the cheapest i found, and that was collection only. add the possibility for postage, and youre looking at £800-850.

i would swap with your friend, as long as there is nothing wrong with the imac.
if you decide to sell, you make £200 easy profit
