There is no shortage of 1060 or rx 480/ rx 580 here. But the 1050 is way cheaper 130 usd against 275 usd. Edit: i3 is more expensive then a Ryzen 5 1400. An i3-7100 is the same as an Ryzen 5 1400. And the performance difference is huge.

They go for something like 80 GBP withour postal.

Location: Denmark My sister asked me if i could build her a gaming for some light gaming. I have an LGA 1155 MB that can overclock but have no processor for it. I found a I5 3570k for 150 USD and thought that was very expensive however neither of the listings would go lower. For GPU i gave up on used as even old R9 260 was selling for 200+USD. So my question is it worth it to go for an 5 year old proccessor when an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 with MB and ram is 350 USD. The used system is going to be roughly 230-250 with the ram?

You will likely have weird issues when a swap like that. That being said i managed to swap my mobo CPU by simply installing the correct drivers and uninstalling old ones though i did have some wierd network issues and other quirks so i ended up reinstalling anyway. If you are sporting an SSD or NVME windows 10 doesnt take long to reinstall and a clean install really isnt THAT big of an issue.
