Does this i3 6100 computer sound like a good deal?

A couple of local IT guys have opened a computer shop, they mostly sell refurbished computers for dirt cheap.

They had two computers with an i3 6100, 500 GB HDD, 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, and Windows 7 for $150. Or Windows 10 upgrade for $40. They guarantee it for 3 years.

The price seemed a little low to me. I'm guessing they piece these computers together from spare parts they get from doing their main jobs.

The computer would be perfect for the local museum to replace their office computer. It'll just be running office software. I'd add in an SSD and I bet they'd be plum happy with the upgrade.

Update:

Forgot to mention, they did have a year warrenty.

I guess after some searching there are similar computers for about $200 on Amazon so maybe it's not so fishy.

    That's a great deal. You can't even get a Pentium G4560/B250 board/4GB DDR4 for less than that, and that's just CPU/mobo/RAM, not an entire system.

    good enough. probably refurbished.. i bought a refurbished dell precision 3500 with 12gb ram and 6core xeon, including windows 7 professional on disk with code, for $350.. about 2 years ago.. original was $1700 or something.. so.. yours sounds good too.. you can sometimes snatch refurbished pc for a very very good price.

    For $150.00 I'd buy one just to have it.

    Low? For 450 you can get i5, 1TB HDD, 12GB RAM (don't know if DDR3) and Windows 10. I would pay $50 for the computer you're talking about.
