SECOND HAND GAMING PC

[Keenanzie]

Need Help for my Friend.

 

There is one ad of second hand pc, the specs are written below.

The main issue is it always encountering bluescreen, but the selling price is 800 USD approximately.

The seller told me that he only bought this pc 2months before.

Please post your thought if this is worth buying.

 

I5-9600k
Cooler master 212 evo cpu cooler
RTX 2060
MSI Z390 motherboard
1tb SSS
1tb HDD
650W 80+ gold PSU
16GB RAM
NZXT S340 elite (red)

Not worth buying. It's not a terrible price, but you could probably build your own system for the same price with similar specs and not have to worry about bluescreens

That doesn't say anything

Has the seller said why ?  

The price is not the worse thing I have seen 

For little over 900 bucks you can do the same thing so there's at least a price cut off there 

Can you ask the seller why it's encountering bsod ( like saying what the error code is )

If it has random bluescreens i'd keep my hands away. For that price you can build a capable PC from new parts nowadays.

Nope. Apparently he doesnt know how to troubleshoot it. 

The issue is, the pricing of pc components here is quite more than other places.

Unless it states what kind of bsod then I'd say don't get it who knows if it's just windows being windows or a dead component. That and for a little more you have a similar pc but with a ryzen 3600 that has more threads.

I would go for something like this.. It will give you better performance and no bsod because that could be hardware issue to do with a core component. You could go with a cheaper build with something like a 1660 super but this is a very solid build and will beat that PC any day.

 

If you really wanna stay around 800:

To be honest if the bsod is memory error that system really isn't a bad price. Ask the seller though.
