There are rumors that AMD will be releasing new desktop Ryzen chips in mid-october, but ignoring that, now is a pretty terrible time to build a PC. Factory lead times from China are only just starting to pick up again, so you'll probably be able to save a bunch of money if you're patient. If you need a PC right now, used isn't a bad option, but you'll probably be better off waiting for this whole 'global pandemic' thing to calm down a bit.

Check the warranty, if it still good, grab it.

Pc parts suppose to be at the lowest right now but due to corona everything is in shortage.

If it’s insanely low, go for it. If it’s just going for what would be considered normal prices a month or two ago, maybe see if you can get a b550 before they are out of stock (if they are a good price). They are slowly dropping in the next week or two.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.
