While I like that card, gamers tend to want that 270 or higher. As to the 30 buck savings, I tend to forgo that as I want the full warranty. Your choice there.

I'm been considering a PC build for months now, however budget has always been a stumbling block as I'm only a teenager.
I've had an offer from a reputable seller to buy an AMD FX-6100 and MSI 990FXA-GD80 for £70.
This is a reputable seller as his account is over two years old with thousands of posts so there's no worries there.
I know the FX-6100 is a little old and not massively well reviewed but it would probably be fine for what I want which is just a basic gaming PC to play games at medium settings 1080p and watch videos.
I personally think this is a good deal considering the MOBO sells for around £100 when new. I'm planning on teaming this up with something like a 750Ti or R9 270. The CPU and motherboard have only had a few months of use and have never been overclocked. The CPU has been used with water cooling and is only 4 months old so it's going to be in perfect condition. I've seen pictures and verified them so I know it's legit.
What are your thoughts on this deal? Would you recommend this deal? It seems almost too good to be true.
