I posted here last 2 days (thanks to metallica5456 and crjdriverover for trying to help) about my old PC that's dying. And it seems I need to let it die. So that being said its time to pry open my bank account and cut it in half. I know very little about hardware and go purely off reviews and what I read online, and since I had luck here before, maybe someone could "rate" or give advice on a new one.
I only found one (that I think is) decent gaming desktop on local Craigslist, but it seems for the same price I can get a better newer one . ? Not sure if that is a statement or a question. Monitors/mouse/keyboard really don't matter to me

This is the newegg computer I found. Sure seems pretty amazing and cheap to my untrained eye.

Any red flags or ideas for saving money or getting better hardware for the price? Open to any and all suggestions. I would like to get as good of a gaming desktop as possible for as cheap as possible, with max of $700 (and that's MAX I really would like to keep it lower.) The most demanding game I want it to play is DayZ standalone, if that gives a reference point. Also don't want to spend $500 on something that will be dead next year.
I have some friends who are capable of building a computer, so that is also an option. I have been reading thru and studying some "guides" and "builds" but only understand very little. If there is a good cheap build I could do, that might work.
Thanks guys
