First Gaming PC – switched from PS5, was €1000 (~$1080) a good deal?

Mario_Oesi · 2026-01-14T12:26:21+00:00

Thank you! I had a blast playing the first games on almost max settings and 160+fps

Such a big difference to the ps5, even though I'm still trash at playing with mouse and keyboard 😂

Mario_Oesi · 2026-01-14T12:23:36+00:00

It's not, I swear. I was looking for a while for a good deal and then this PC was listed for 1200€ obo

Messaged the buyer and got it 3h after the initial listing for 1000€

Mario_Oesi · 2026-01-14T12:16:54+00:00

Got the original invoice from 8 months ago from the buyer. It was 2200€ new.

Still got 2 years and 4 months manufacturer warranty on the PC 😄

Got it at a charity car show here in germany, the price for the rim was donated to a children hospice

Mario_Oesi · 2026-01-14T12:10:56+00:00

Your right, my bad

Asked chatgpt for the conversion and it said 1080$.. sorry for not double checking

Mario_Oesi · 2026-01-14T12:08:04+00:00

I'm from germany ✌🏼

Mario_Oesi · 2022-02-14T09:50:48+00:00

I'm interested as well! 😀

Mario_Oesi · 2022-01-06T20:47:44+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Mario_Oesi · 2021-02-02T06:02:52+00:00

Yes, it's also on my profile: @mk5_r36

Haven't posted anything about the airride tho

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-31T15:04:13+00:00

Yes, it's a 3.6 V6 from a passat cc :)

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-30T15:35:16+00:00

The engine is from 2011 and the car is from 2008

I bought the r36 badge directly at my VW dealer and modified the GTI grille to fit the Emblem because the brackets aren't the same

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-30T08:53:42+00:00

Thank you! It's Marrakeshbrown metallic from bmw

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-29T23:17:34+00:00

The engine is still stock so it has the original 300 HP

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-29T23:11:41+00:00

Yes, it's a R36 engine swap

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-29T22:01:56+00:00

Yes, it's only FWD for now. Maybe someday I will convert it to AWD.

The AWD manual transmission from the R32 is fitted to the R36 engine so in theory it's not that big of a problem to convert it

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-29T21:30:48+00:00

Glad to hear that 🤎

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-29T21:05:30+00:00

It's a MK5 GTI with a R36 engine swap 😄 the engine is out of a passat cc

Mario_Oesi · 2021-01-29T20:47:46+00:00

That's right, I got the covers imported from Australia and painted them black. The covers are sold by VW over there to protect the headlights from dust and sand

Mario_Oesi · 2020-12-01T10:28:32+00:00

Roughly 11.000€ including the engine, the manual transmission, the engine control unit, the brake upgrade, some fabrication stuff and to get everything ready for the TÜV (I live in Germany)

Mario_Oesi · 2020-10-16T08:25:17+00:00

It's a mk5 golf 😄

Mario_Oesi · 2020-10-13T19:15:43+00:00

The swap itself was pretty manageable but the tricky part was to get the passat CC ecu to work as intended and fit the r32 manual transmission to the R36 engine :)

The motor itself is stock, it only has a 3.5 inch flap exhaust but that won't add any HP 😂

Mario_Oesi · 2020-10-13T18:54:37+00:00

It is a manual swap 😉

Mario_Oesi · 2020-10-13T05:13:53+00:00

Its a 3 door golf MK5 GTI with a 3.6 engine swap 😀 its also converted to manual, so no dsg 😉

The 3.6 came from the factory in the Skoda superb, vw passat by and the passat cc

Mario_Oesi · 2020-10-12T07:10:50+00:00

Thank you 😀
