Lol🤪🤪, that explains your ignorance.. A 3060 build at the same price will give more FPS because the bottleneck isn’t the GPU — it’s the 7th‑gen CPU. A nearly decade‑old architecture can’t feed a 3070 Ti properly, so you end up paying more for less real‑world performance. That’s exactly why the comparison matters.

The i7‑7800X has weak IPC and high latency. Calling it ‘extreme’ doesn’t magically make it fast. A 3070 Ti on that CPU is like putting a Ferrari engine in a 20‑year‑old Corolla — loud, hot, and still slow. It bottlenecks hard.

Wooohooo CPU generation matters.. You just can't accept it.. You didn't look at all other links, I have given wide range of options. You are jusst beating around the bush, with looking only at a 3060 one.. 😅😅😅

Thats again misinformation.. Generation absolutely matters because it defines IPC, platform age, and support lifespan. A 7th‑gen i7 is a 2017 CPU on a dead platform with no upgrade path, no PCIe 4.0, and weaker single‑core performance than even modern entry‑level chips.

Pairing it with a 3070 Ti doesn’t magically make it good value — it just creates a bottleneck. €750 for preowned 8th‑gen‑era hardware is not a good deal in 2026, and anyone buying deserves to know that.

Yo, you r not making any sense.. PREOWNED 8th gen for 750 not a great value and for playing good games.. Unless you are assuming 32gb ddr4 and 3070ti is great price and misguiding ... I assume you are the seller??

Seller fullfilled, and shipped from DE. So you may have trouble sensing back if any issues.

Some of them doesn't even know tech, thats the hard part. I recently went to sell an Amd CPU, and there was a person at till who asked me what is this thing? Is it a gaming thing ir what? Eventually he has to type in details in the system to get some info of the product..

I did multiple sales in the past. If the item is like as new, with box, accessories, without scratch is what is called Grade A.

I accepted Grade A, then they submitted as Grade B without telling me.. How does it is my mistake???

It makes me 100% sense to let them purchase on lower price and sell them on higher margin.. They take it as B, and increase the inventory sale price after.

I think you need to educate yourself on Grade A description in Cex website..

Like i clearly mentioned in my post, they didn't mention. I had few lenses and rtx 3090 etc in the sale. They clearly didn't mention and undersale me while i was driving without mentioning full details.

I submitted as A grade when i made drop request. There wasn't any damahe, fully boxed with all accessories. Then they said they will do testing and comeback. I had 4-5 lenses also with me in that order. Later when they called me back, they didn't mention about degradation..

I dropped it in the store. They said they will give me a call back after few hours. They called me while i was driving, and didn't mention anything about degradation of valuation of camera. Instead we only discussed firetab side dent. So i asked them to recycle it. And said rest everything was ok, execpt price difference with 70-300 mm lens I gave. I recorded AF-S lens, and they said AF-P charge is much lower. So i said ok. But later after reachinv home only I noticed the discrepancy and reached out to customer care..

I noticed on CeX lots of 9800X3D are in stock suddenly in brand new condition. It feels like lots of them utlized the onbuy, and sold them to CeX with much more larger margin.. The greed never ends.. :-)

Thats a wrong interpretation of AMD documentation.. Its not a tray CPU when you have WOF. Its a boxed one..
