You can also get a $20 off 200 coupon

It seems like a good deal to me for the specs.

i7 4790, 16gb of ram, 240gb SSD, gtx1060 3gb(They dont say the vram on the card here, but its probably a 3gb.*) reusing an old case, buying a new keyboard and mouse, used monitor. In the end i'm looking at just under $1100.... And thats doing everything as cheaply as possible(offlease workstation, gpu on sale and using an eBay coupon for 20% off, no name chinese keyboard and mouse, etc...)

Only thing that is probably better on mine is the PSU, but thats like an $80 upgrade for the asus, so Id still have saved $200.

edit-*Nope, its the 6GB card. So this is an even BETTER deal than what i stupidly put more money and labour into.

or its 90 days maybe you can add that extra warranty.

The graphics card is failing now, I can't even play CS:GO anymore because it will crash. Went to ASUS support, got told to install the latest drivers (which I already did ). Will have to send computer in for servicing. Never overclocked the GPU, started experiencing problems 3 and a half months in. Right after 90 days.
Maybe many other people's computers are running fine but this is just my experience with a refurbished G11cd.
