seems a little sketchy, considering it comes with a 9900k, a 1080ti a custom waterloop and a monitor

[ProBottler]

Imma go ahead and saythis is a scam

So apparently the seller listed 4 PCs and 1 monitor with display cables

Then according to this line the Editing PC is actually the monitor
Also, Havit is a peripherals brand and to my knowledge they dont do any prebuilts
Either the seller have problems using English, or they cant differentiate between peripherals, pcs and monitors
anywho the specs listed on the site along with the price tag should be a massive red flag imo
(big caveiat that im not a native english user so i may completly misunderstood everything)

not clear enough and grammar errors

Also, a quick reverse image search gave me 2 listings at the same price for the similarly speced systems, this time in London

And the difference between these 2 listings are the img and the ad id

Nah, you are right.

 

Also, they apparently took apart the PSU and cleaned it, but don't know the different between a PC, monitor and what I am assuming are peripherals. Also, that listing has been up for 21 days apparently and updated 7 days ago... There is zero chance that it wouldn't have been bought before now if it is legit.

If it's a legit 2600X, it is a decent price.

IMO, the only thing that i can check with the listing is the condition of the cpu pins, which from the seller pic is unfortunately too hard to see any bent pins cause the plastic cpu holder is in the way
Just a head up, there is a chance of the cpu being dead and the seller want to scam you

Yup just found the same. It's a scam. If you want you can troll him, have him meet two hours away for $200 extra on the sale price and just sit at home and laugh

lol isnt that illegal or something

RAM: Corsair DDR4 16GB 3000Mhz (2 channels setting)

Yeah, this seller doesn't know much. What is '2 channels setting'?
