Going to look at a pc Monday.

Ryzen 5 1600

Msi pro series A320

R9 390 (dont know brand, has 3 fans tho)

8GB ram ddr4 2400

240GB ssd

Corsair TX550M psu

Cooler master cooler box lite 3.1

 

Nova bench score: 2318

Cpu: 1238

RAM 218

GPU 773

Disk 89

 

I tallied the parts if i were to buy all new. Comes to about $700 USD. He came down to $300 from $350 listing price. I feel pretty confident about this as I am going to snag the cpu and mobo to complete my current rig and save the other parts for another build. What do you guys think? I saw the gpu for about $300-$400 brand new

The motherboard sucks, but overall the price for that rig is decent.

Yea I read about the A series chipset however I'm not looking to overclock or add more than one card. The part that sucks for me only 2 ram slots and 2 fan connectors (cpu and case fan). But I have a Molex to 3 fan adapter for that.

Well it also sucks because it doesn't support 3rd gen ryzen

It also sucks because the build quality and Varma on it are garbage.

Not a terrible deal...but not super good either. Honestly, with the older Ryzen chips if you're not overclocking, you're going to get pretty poor performance.

The more I look at that, the worse deal it seems to be tbh. The RAM is too slow for Ryzen, and the video card is pretty old at this point. Don't bother looking at new prices, it's probably on par with a $150 graphics card.
