    I'm trying to decide whether I should buy a pre-owned desktop with stats shown below for £300 ($484), or just make a new PC from Scan for a bit more money?

    The specs for the pre-owned are:

    Intel 2 Quad-core at 2.40GHz - over-clocked to 3.60GHz
    RAM: 4GB (DDR2)
    250 GB HDD

    ATI Graphics Card (worth about £60):
    Total: 2048 MB
    Dedicated memory: 1024 MB

    + cheap PSU, old motherboard and a small case

    The PC is about 4 years old.

    So it it worth the cost? Or is it better to just start making a future-proof PC?
