If I suggest some parts expect it to run about $500-600 for a current cpu mobo and ram that your system could grow with.
Are you looking for pre-owned parts?
 
u comin up north any time soon? if so, you could grab a cpu/mobo combo from Microcenter. typically save about $20-$40 off newegg prices. i5-4670k, z87 board, 8GB ram for about $333+tax.

what'd you graduate in? did you know kawhi leonard? lol
 
A friend is willing to sell me a:
1. intel 920
2. asus p6t deluxe
3. g skill 8gb ram g skill ripjaw
for $250. They are used and I know they are old parts, but he babies his computer and is my bestfriend. I pricematched on newegg and amazon. The prices back in the day were 800 ish for all 3 and nowadays 650 for new. What do you guys think?
 
The 920 is rather old, and $250 is a bit much for that 5yr-old setup, IMO. Also, why only 8GB? That's a triple channel X58 chipset, so it should be 6GB or 12GB - not that the 3rd channel did much, lol. My 920 D0, X58A-UD3R, and 12GB Corsairs cost me around $450 back in '09.

You'd be better off with the newer combo i posted earlier.

babying your parts doesn't make them new again - old tech is old.

i still wouldn't pay $250 for that combo. i think snowman found a killer deal on a similar combo... got it for much less than that.
