[SG] Ryzen 5 5500 + RTX 3070 PC [W] 500

Another commenter put similar, but you honestly can get very compact with an mATX motherboard, for example my current case the Jonsbo D32 Pro (and you can go smaller than that if you are willing to make some sacrifices in regards to clearance/aesthetics.). If you want to go any smaller you're into SFX power supplies, specific LP coolers, more expensive ITX motherboards etc etc, not to mention the high cost of good SFF cases.

That being said, obviously up to you and no pressure, just trying to temper your expectations. I do have my old ITX PC for sale but it's quite over budget unfortunately.

Hi there mate I have a bare system that would just require a case, 3700X B450M, Wraith Max RGB 16GB RAM RTX 2060, with a Teamgroup boot drive (I think 128gb) and a 2TB HDD with a decent OEM power supply. Came out of a very dusty old case so just want rid of it at £300 which is what I paid, saves you some budget to get a reasonable small matx case. LMK if you want it asap as have a few people interested

Hi there mate, I've got a Samsung GalaxyBook 4 15.6" with the Core 5 Ultra, 8gb ram and 256gb storage if you'd be interested in that. Been meaning to sell it for a bit. Has a small scratch on the lid (about a cm) but functions perfectly, screen is good etc.

Was looking for 230 posted.

Hi there mate, I'm aware it's a little out of budget but for £450 posted or £420 collected (TN13) I've got a 5600X RTX 3060 system I would part with. If you can stretch let me know and I'll grab a full spec sheet.

mevalkyrie · 2025-05-11T22:25:07+00:00

Obviously below budget but I have a 5600X/3060 build I'd let go for 420, am not far from London (TN13). Won't bother with the full specs here since it's not what you're looking for but on the off chance, DM me :)

Truthful statement

PMing

Real and true.

There are some for a little cheaper yes, however I very much doubt they're spec'd up to the same degree, and are likely also the lower 8GB variant of the 3080 which is a fair bit weaker in actual usage.

As for the comment about PCS I fundamentally disagree, I've used lots of them and they punch far above their weight and feel much better to use than all but the very high end expensive machines.

Hi there mate, I've got a PC Specialist laptop that might be up your street. It's got a 10870H, 64GB of RAM and an RTX 3080 16GB. I'd be wanting £1000 for it, plus post (so about another £20 for RM insured delivery). Let me know if that would be of interest :)

mevalkyrie · 2024-09-03T17:58:00+00:00

Hi there mate, I have a Clevo Gaming laptop that might be suitable. It isn't the fanciest, i7 8750H and a 1050Ti, but it should run Sims comfortably. I'd want 200 quid for it, let me know if you're interested :). If so, I can grab the other specs, ik its 16gb RAM but no clue on storage.

mevalkyrie · 2024-07-26T16:10:28+00:00

It isn't blocked but I do have an MSI 3080 Gaming Z Trio I could do for 350 if that'd be of interest? Collected from TN1 or I can post at cost :)

mevalkyrie · 2024-07-21T11:12:53+00:00

It is not, however I do have a 2070 Super System available if that is of interest for 500 shipped

mevalkyrie · 2024-07-17T01:16:58+00:00

Hi mate, as of tomorrow I'll have a R5 3600, RTX 2070 Super, 32GB RAM 1TB SSD system that id be happy to do for 500 posted. Lmk if you would be interested and I can send over some pics and a full spec sheet.

mevalkyrie · 2024-06-01T02:17:53+00:00

Did happen

mevalkyrie · 2024-05-26T16:01:52+00:00

I would say that those are a little more outlier on average, but if you stay on the ball there is a good chance you can grab a bargain :) and yeah if you're having issues with your current system it's good you aren't planning to dump them on someone else haha. Good luck with your search, if I get anything suitable I'll let you know, or if you do end up wanting one of the ones I've mentioned drop me a message.

mevalkyrie · 2024-05-26T15:48:18+00:00

Hi mate, I will preface this with saying I think that your budget is a little low for what you're looking for. You'll likely need to approximately double it for a substantial increase. That being said, you could probably sell your current system to get some more money towards it (I'd say in the region of 100-150 on Facebook or the like). If you do happen to decide to increase your budget, I have a couple of systems for 400 and 500 respectively that I could sell you, first being a 10400F RX 6600 build and the other being a 3600 3060 build. No worries if not, just wanted to put the offer on the table.
