The SSD is nice but to RAID 0 those may not gain much speed but would get them to look like a 360GB or so SSD. Here the 480 to 512GB SSD runs 100 bucks on sale so you have a nearly same system.
The GPU can be compared at GPUBOSS so let's check that out.

This shows less than a 2 percent gain so no winner.
This is not a good deal. You can match his or exceed it for less than 500 bucks.
99 bucks for a 480GB SSD.
410 or so bucks for a new 1070.

If the bucks aren't there either don't change a thing or shop the 960, 970, 980.
So I am not an expert when it comes to PC specs. I will make sure to learn eventually but right now I want a quick answer.
So a friend is offering me his PC for sale. Price is 500 dollars roughly from another currency.
Specs are:
- i7 - 2600K
- GTX 680 Sli
- 3 x 120GB SSDs (Raid0)
- 2TB HDD
- 8GB ram (space for 16)
My current specs are:
- i7 - 2600K
- GTX 580
- 120GB SSD
- 2TB HDD
- 8GB ram (space for 16)
I will mainly use this PC for 3d modelling and rendering, nothing super fancy but I am trying to learn a lot. Some gaming but not that much.
Thats it
is it worth it pricewise or could i build a better rig or upgrade my own for a similar price? My rig has always been wierd and has had to be repaired many times so I preferably dont want to risk upgrading it and it not working.
