i7 860 or 870

[theHAYwired1]

I can get a secondhand i7 870 for R3000, should i take it or should i rather buy a new 860?
And is there a big difference between the two?

870 is going at 5k about it is a good deal if you look at the prices

Buy it second hand if you know it's in working order!

Sounds like a good price to me

 

[theHAYwired1]

It is in working order but there is no guarantee because it wasnt bought in SA

 

[chickenbeef]

Is this by any chance the one Vivi is selling

 

[theHAYwired1]

Thats the one yes.

I would take it if I were you. He has said he will guarantee it himself. Also the 860 is that price so it is pretty good. I would ask him if he will give you the standard 3 year warranty and also enquire if Intel have an international warranty on processors.

Ok thanks for all your help, i took the 870, now the search for the rest of the hardware.
