Hello, Everyone!
So I have this situation in my life. One of my friends recently built a new PC and he has some spare parts left, I was thinking to take them from him and find a used GPU and just build something with budget in mind. The thing is the CPU that he has is Ryzen 9 3950x, I remember like 5 years ago this was one of the better CPU on the market (I think) but now its 2024 and it's quite outdated, is it even worth it to try and build something cheap with that CPU around. I will paste what he has with prices.
1. CPU: 3950X - 70EUR
2. MOBO: MSI X570 Carbon pro WIFI - 120EUR
3. RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 4x16GB 3600Mhz - 70EUR
4. PSU: NEW! ASUS RGB 850W Platinum - 150-170 EUR (Haven't decided yet on the price)
Case I would find for cheap, I think I have spare somewhere. SSD I could take out of my laptop, or get like 1tb M.2 for cheap. CPU cooler I would buy something new for more or less 50EUR, and of course I would be looking online for a used GPU (Which GPU would you recommend?). So do you guys think this is possible and worth it, are the prices for these items legit or he just wants to scam me? The PC would be used mainly for gaming, maybe some light streaming, I am playing on 1080p and not planning to upgrade any time soon. Sorry for my grammar. Waiting for your thoughts and opinions.
Thank you!
