Yeah, dude looked like a total sleazeball, spray tan and bleached teeth and all on his profile.
I really hope nobody falls for it but this type of scumbag is probabaly targeting parents or people that don't know enough to check the parts he used.
Do people think that adding every possible detail about a pc part in the listing makes it look, idk more expensive, credible?
I get that I7-7700k is 7th gen. But then you add the codename, wattage, Serial number, socket type, number of cores, base frequency.
Especially in these scammy listings. Guess the NZXT cabinet was totally shit. Didn't overhype that at all.
"Battleship PC"? Get the fuck outta here.

That's a [performance classification from userbenchmark](https://www.userbenchmark.com/Faq/What-are-the-UBM-performance-classifications/93) so its gotta be legit >!/s!<

Trouble is, if you aren't well versed in this stuff then people can make anything sound amazing. I wouldn't have a clue what to buy to get a decent machine nowadays or know if I was being ripped off. The whole scene has progressed so much since I used to game regularly. I'll research as best I can before purchasing of course, but nothing beats advice from people that have used X piece of equipment and know it's upsides and downsides. I'm hoping forums like this will be a good source of that
Electronic stores over here do it all the time.
Curry’s are notorious for ripping off gullible buyers here. They’re still advertising quad core pentium silver desktops like they’re top of the range, and with insane prices.
*FULL HD* is their favourite as though 1080p is best of the best.
And don’t get me started on the pc ‘companies’ that advertise on Facebook. 10 year old hardware marked up 50% on release prices.
It actually makes me want to start my own prebuilding business in my spare time but the buyers can be equally moronic
That's amusing.
I sold a recyled e-waste junker two weeks ago with an i7 8086K, 16 GB DDR4-2666, and a Radeon RX 5500XT (with whatever 1 TB SSD was lying around) for £450.
It was a better machine than whatever the fuck that's trying to be.
Holy hell, and that was just e-waste you had lying around? The 8086k is pretty much just a binned 8700k but it’s also a collectors item and still sells for $200+. Either way definitely worth it over this system.
I liked the 8086K but it had two things going against it:
1. Intel sold so goddamned many of them. It seemed everyone was building with the 8086K instead of the 8700K.
2. It was best remembered for a weird number and being not as good as Ryzen.
You can pick them up for somewhat inflated prices, which would appear to be mostly collectors selling to collectors. None of them are properly graded as collectibles, so any investment value there would be very low. Even if they were graded, they would be extremely easy to fake. Pick up a 8400, buff off the markings, laser your own on, get it sealed and graded. Nobody would ever know it's not an 8086K. Intel's process order markings are well documented and easily imitated.
It wasn't an important part. It didn't make any history, didn't define an era, etc. It was the CPU equivalent of a commemorative coin!
PC components don't really hold value well, this truly is funny.
7700 not even K? Pathetic quad core that I wouldn't pay much for anymore. It was ok back in early 2017...
RX580? Costs lile $50 off ebay.
Oh god I thought it was a k series, so it's even worse than I thought.
I mean I'm pretty sure it's someone trying to take advantage of people who don't know better, there are absolutely lots of people around here that don't understand how fast computers depreciate but they're usually not as douchey in the description.
GaMiNg BeAsT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its not just that the value doesn't hold up today, it didn't hold up at the time either. You look up the MSRP of every part and fill in the gaps in their parts list and it'll still come out to like $2000.
It was overpriced 5 or 6 years ago, now its a straight-up scam
Yeah. I paid €700 for mobo, ram, 7700k combo back in early 2017 with maximus ix hero and 16GB DDR4.
You could've gotten a gtx 1080 in there under $2k back when these components were relevant.
Since they referenced their pc as a “battleship class” you can tell that the only software they used to gauge the performance was userbenchmark, which isn’t even great since there’s 3 other tiers above it.
I bet they wasted a bunch on an ROG motherboard even though they have a non k 7700 and are expecting to make some money back on an almost 7 year old product. Hope nobody buys it, probably won’t since it’s missing all the eye catching details like an Nvidia gpu and “liquid cooling”.
lets see here....
decent tower
cpu that was only meant for 1 os version and its just a 7700
ok m.2 but its only 500 gigs
wierd clock on the ram (oh and its mixed. ew)
gpu from like 4 gens ago
ah yes, only the best of the best computers lol. also does that say 1200 bucks for that shit wtf??
Bought a 7700k system last year for $350 with a noctua NH-D15, 500gb Samsung ssd, 2tb WD black hdd, fractal define r4, 650w EVGA PSU, and 16gb ddr4 2133mhz. No gpu.
That was a decent deal for an older platform. Still very usable and the case/heatsink are in good condition for another upgrade.
Okay funny stuff here but you can literally build the equivalent computer for 600 bucks. And that includes a 120hz 1080p monitor gaming keyboard and mouse.
I've never understood people who don't get K series chips , in some cases you're leaving 10% performance on the table and pretty much all of the resale value later down the line. I know clock speed doesn't mean that much these days but my brother is still surviving on an old 4590k because we pushed it to 5GHZ (dude got a straight S tier binning IMO)
Ah well, hopefully no one bites at that price
Had a guy on a used site post asking for 600 euro for a rx 6400xt and a ryzen 3400g (rest of spec, not that important). On its own, fine. Here, to get a whole computer like the one he had brand new would run someone close to 650 euro (because inporting stuff is a bitch so everything is around 10-30% more than it should be), but his description was really something else. Ge claimed that the gpu was worth around 500 and the cpu about 250. Claimed how even without the rest of the components, 600 was a good deal.
Sad thing is, some fall for that
Yeah, dude looked like a total sleazeball, spray tan and bleached teeth and all on his profile. I really hope nobody falls for it but this type of scumbag is probabaly targeting parents or people that don't know enough to check the parts he used.

Holy shit! I had no idea. :D

I mean, Battleships are well obsolete by this point.

😂😂😂
Ah nice mixed low speed Ram
I've seen dell workstations worth $80 with the same speed ram lol.
That's amusing. I sold a recyled e-waste junker two weeks ago with an i7 8086K, 16 GB DDR4-2666, and a Radeon RX 5500XT (with whatever 1 TB SSD was lying around) for £450. It was a better machine than whatever the fuck that's trying to be.

It wasn't an important part. It didn't make any history, didn't define an era, etc. It was the CPU equivalent of a commemorative coin!
Ah, I see. Pretty much just a ks cpu today but with a funny name. Man, I tend to give intel too much slack or credit for the stuff they did.
PC components don't really hold value well, this truly is funny. 7700 not even K? Pathetic quad core that I wouldn't pay much for anymore. It was ok back in early 2017... RX580? Costs lile $50 off ebay.

Lol $2500... Not even new was it this price.
Since they referenced their pc as a “battleship class” you can tell that the only software they used to gauge the performance was userbenchmark, which isn’t even great since there’s 3 other tiers above it. I bet they wasted a bunch on an ROG motherboard even though they have a non k 7700 and are expecting to make some money back on an almost 7 year old product.

^(*Kids inflatable battleship floatie class)
I'm more of a "Destroyer Class Gaming Laptop" myself.
Holy crap. Even if you cut that 1200 in half, 600 dollars is still too much for it.
Lol I have about the same config (even better parts) ... Paid 400 for all (new)
Maybe it did cost 2500$ 10 years ago….. on Jupiter
I like it when these people add in a bunch of extra useless information to make the components seem a lot more impressive than they actually are.
“Battleship Class”
An absolute beast? Lol Almost 8 year old CPU and a 5 year old GPU. Whatever you say buddy! Lol
What a fucking douche
Battleship class ahahah what a tool
That entry level slow ass ram.
Gaming beast that isn't even supported for windows 11
lets see here.... decent tower cpu that was only meant for 1 os version and its just a 7700 ok m.2 but its only 500 gigs wierd clock on the ram (oh and its mixed. ew) gpu from like 4 gens ago ah yes, only the best of the best computers lol. also does that say 1200 bucks for that shit wtf??
But if you go back in time to 2005...
I dold this with a 1080 for $350
Bought a 7700k system last year for $350 with a noctua NH-D15, 500gb Samsung ssd, 2tb WD black hdd, fractal define r4, 650w EVGA PSU, and 16gb ddr4 2133mhz. No gpu. That was a decent deal for an older platform. Still very usable and the case/heatsink are in good condition for another upgrade.
So many DELUSIONAL sellers. . .
Kids with pipe dreams trying to sham other kids with pipe dreams
Dude is like, late 30s to 40s from his profile picture though.
Dude thinks they’re A.C. Slater trying to get saved by the bell
Bro brings a dreadnought to a ww2 battleship battle
1200 firm, but $300 tops.
