Do you want suggestions on what software to use to check if you got ripped off (i.e. test CPU/GPU/RAM/etc. performance) or do you want a new build list recommendation?

parts list pls

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

i dont really know it was my mother who paid him 

 

Anything much above 200 USD would be a total ripoff, but even anything about 100-150 USD wouldn't be a great price either.

But if you throw in a decent GPU you can probably still play some games on lower details (at least the ones that do not require more than 2 cores).

 

But without knowing all the details, I cannot tell you if you got ripped off or not.

It's a prebuilt, that HDD is a decade old, the Mobo is 8 years old and belongs in a Lenovo prebuilt Thinkcentre Edge 72, processor is 7 years old, and the whole thing is worth ~$100 in its current condition (Minus your upgrades). You got ripped off for $600 CAN

It has the specs of what DxDiag says, and it says its a prebuilt, it may be in a new case but that's it.

 

ThinkCentre Edge 72

 

LENOVO 3484HPU mobo

i3-3220

16 GB of RAM

1tb WD HDD

 

>>> These are also the specs of your PC.

Sorry for your loss.
