Agreed. It's a very old, outdated system. Anything more than $150-200 for that is a complete rip off.
EDIT: What's the size and refresh rate of the monitor? _________________

You could probably build anything from a wicked gamers computer to an extreme graphics computer to a all day server/wicked gamers computer to an anything computer.... _________________

| $800 will get you something close to the best stuff on the market right now, your friend got ripped off, especially if he/she built it him/her-self (probably bought it pre-built though). The computer is going to be obsolete (in terms of gaming) in 3 years at the most. I would price it sub-$200. |
