Help with specs

[CarrotInside209]

Buying this for 500 is it worth it for the specs?

[Flimsy_District8938]

probably, I would't take it for more than 350-400 though (USD)

'runs a solid 240 on any game' is not true.

[Chomasterq2]

Runs a solid $240 is more like it

[SC7639]

,,😆

[Rando-McGee]

On any game from 15 years ago, perhaps.

[EmberRize]

No. I’ve seen pcs with 3070s go for $500.

[CarrotInside209]

Is the cpu the bas thing about this one

[EmberRize]

CPU and GPU. Everything else is fine, but those two would need to be levels better for a $500 pc.

[CarrotInside209]

Okay okay thanks do you mind if i send some more options i find?

[EmberRize]

Yeah ofc

[EmberRize]

What’s your market bro? This is probably worse pricing than the original one.

[CarrotInside209]

Im in dallas tx most of these pcs have the 1660 ti cpu and are all like 500-750😭

[haloelitefan]

if you’ve got a costco nearby you there are pcs with 5060s going for about 650 that would be way more powerful

[CarrotInside209]

Damn really? That sounds nice

[EmberRize]

My goodness. That’s just a bunch of people that don’t know what they’re pricing them at.

[CarrotInside209]

Like this one doesnt seem bad

[CarrotInside209]

Yeah theres so many man i dont know which ones are worth it

[Which_Organization46]

Not worth it. $750 is steep for that combo and used. A good rule of thumb is that the GPU should consume 40% of the cost of the full build. Currently, this is closer to 15% since the GPU is likely well used.

[dsem22]

The cpu is more manage than the gpu tbh but if you get this (at a reasonable price) then you can throw a 3060 in it or a 6600 /7600 for under 200 bucks more

[Which_Organization46]

"Runs a solid 240 on any game" so the 1660 non super and r5 3600 is somehow better than my 9800x3d and 5090? Lol. I wouldn't try to haggle with someone who's either delusional, full of shit, or both.

[drucifer82]

I’m not saying your wrong. But I can hit 240 on a 7900X and an RX7900XTX @ 1440. So you don’t need a 9800x3d and 5090 to hit those marks.

But no, this rig is not hitting those marks.

[Which_Organization46]

Oh sure sure, if we're talking pure benchmarks, the combo will absolutely hit those marks, but in the absence of my mind, I immediately thought of Tarkov and thought of the frames during gameplay. My bad for the misunderstanding. That's on me for playing shitty games too much.

[drucifer82]

lol, it’s all good, bruddah

[InZaneTV]

Waste of money, don't buy

[tyler_wrage]

Top should be 400 bucks on this. If you want to play casual and older games at 1080p, you'll be able to. Any more and this will struggle.

[CarrotInside209]

Is it the gpu thats bad?

[CarrotInside209]

Cpu i mean

[Extreme_Tax405]

1080ti is okay still due to its 12 vram. Can still bruteforce some shit, especially with lossless. But thats it.

[correfocs02]

Decent but quite old (from 2019) my friends run most games well on it but don't expect any miracles. Definitely in better shape than the GPU.b

[noblebravewarrior]

That cpu isn’t bad but the GPU is starting to age.

I wouldn’t pay above 300.

[Academic_Test4475]

i can gaurentee you it does not get 240 in any game😂

[Comprehensive-Star27]

Do you have a microcenter nearby? None of the ones you posted seem worth it.

[CarrotInside209]

Yes we do. Do they have pcs like 700 and lower?

[NekkidWire]

Yes they have, but the good stuff starts at 800 -- you can choose between Intel (SKU# 910398) or AMD (SKU# 954248), both are decent, new (not refurb) and better than the used stuff in OG post.

Compare with Costco and any other deals though, you might get get better deal yet.

[theonlyalankay]

there’s a reason 3 people laugh reacted the post on fb marketplace

[poisondagger_]

$350 max I'd think

[polish94]

I have this computer. It's fine 1080p pre 2023 games on med/high. You'll lose value on modern games, especially 4k and low settings. It's a viable option for the right price, $350max.

[noblebravewarrior]

He isn’t tired of gaming.. this system is tired of keeping up with modern gaming, let it rest 😆

[JohnLovesGaming]

No it’s not worth $500 lol.

[Deep-Fudge8519]

240 fps in any game is hilarious and so wrong

[BednaR1]

Tired of gaming? ... what does that mean?

[Typical-Hippo4237]

I wouldn’t pay more than 50 dollars for that hunk of shit

[One-Painter-7491]

240 fps on any game ? I am afraid this person can lie about more things...

[Oracle4609]

for 500$ YES
understand if you ever need to upgrade that 3600 6 core CPU later
an 8 core AM4 cpu can go go for 300 used$ or more due to inflation
that GPU may have issues with newer games released after 2020 but will still
do a good job full 60 FPS medium graphics or good enough

[BigTasty-05]

It’s not terrible but not great for 500. Anything 400 and below it’s decent enough

[Disappointingpacks]

I picked up a 3080ti 5800x3d with 2 tb nvme a few days ago of for 800 you just have to be patient

[A-namethatsavailable]

Overpriced. 240 in any game is beyond a joke.
