...It would be hard to beat this one. Have no idea how long this will be on sale, but all it needs is a modern video card to be a true beast. And, the one that it comes with isn't so bad... I bought one and am planning on putting my XFX 8GB RX-480 in it. It should be a very, very solid gaming desktop for several years.

For a gamer, the video card is shit and you can't upgrade it without also changing PSU. Even assuming you can upgrade those without trouble, it's not so good deal any more after that.

That should make it alot easier upgrading the PSU inside the thing as you will be SOL without the adapter.

Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
But I wouldn't want to buy your used computer at $700 dollars even if it were refurbished by Newegg. For gaming, at that price, I think there are better options available.
Because of my backstock of parts and multiple desktops, I'm going to get a lot of win out of this machine.
The thing that scares me the most about buying this is that this will be the first computer I did not build for myself since 1993.

1 - It is using a standard wide Micro ATX motherboard layout. It would fit in any micro tower.
2 - The power supply is using a standard layout, and would fit in any PC compatible case. Why they chose to use a proprietary power connection is beyond me.
3 - The tower would work with any normal setup, and has space for 3 hard drives.
4 - It has 4 PCI-e Slots. One is a PCI-e 3.0
5 - Wifi! So I can put it wherever I want.
So now, I am deciding, Will I buy the $15 power connector to get it working with a real video card, or a $100 MicroATX Z170 motherboard? If I buy the board, eventually the old setup will get an i5 2 core or 4 core and a video card that does not have a power plug (RX-460 or a GTX1050).
***ADDED AS AN EDIT***
I bought the cable, and I will buy the motherboard, cheap CPU and a case in the future. I have enough HDDs and other parts to go around for another build!

So this is a;
i7-6700
32GB DDR4-2133 memory
1 BD drive (BluRay + DVDRW)
1 512GB SSD
1 1TB HDD
XFX RX-480 video card with 8GB
Win 10 Pro
ANTEC ECO 620W Gamer PSU
My 'old' system, which will be hooked to my TV downstairs (this one will eventually get a BIG BOY motherboard and come back upstairs to the game room);
i5-3470
16GB DDR3-1600 memory
1 BD Drive + 1 DVD drive
1 256GB SSD
1 640GB HDD
Reference GTX960 vid with 2GB
Win10 Home
ANTEC GAMER GOLD 750W PSU
So yeah, I am happy...

If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
Here is another good deal, although it is not as powerful as the one I got, it is a good platform to build on.

A few caveats;
*it is using an H110 motherboard, so I am unsure if it will support a 7th gen Intel CPU. It likely only has 2 memory slots, so if you want to upgrade your RAM the two installed chips will be replaced, not added to.
*I searched, and the PSU is 350W, not enough if you add a video card with a power plug.
Someone could buy this and use it as a passable gaming unit until they could afford a 500W+ PSU and a one-plug video card like a GTX1060 or an RX-480. Or they could probably get away with the included PSU if they used a no-plug vid, like a GTX1050 or an RX-460. Personally I would upgrade the PSU to at least 600W and add a 1060 or a 480. The 600W would mean there was enough power for a better vid later.

How do you know that it's a good deal? What's in it? The only thing that you know is in it is a CPU that you know that you don't want. If the plan is to buy that and upgrade it to a respectable $800 gaming desktop, it's likely that you'd pay $700+ to buy the upgrade components.
