Budget (including currency):Not sureee (want to spend 700 smth or lesss

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: valorant cod  mc etc,

Other details wanna play at 144hz 1080p or 1440p but prolly 1080p ( since dont wanna spend too much on monitor either)

I plan On buying used for most of my parts EXCEPT im looking for used parts that arent really that used. for example this personrs rtx 2070 s which they used for 2 weeks but went to sell because cpu bottlenecked. How much should i be looking at for each part.

Then you won't really find anything. The people that have a part that is 2 weeks old (or so) and want to sell it will most likely do it pretty close to what they bought it for, or they'll just return it. 

Not to mention that RTX 2070 supers go for about 450-500$ at the moment so that would leave you with 200$ for memory, motherboard, cpu, case and power supply, assuming your budget is around 700$, so if you want to go for something modern, like 8th-9th gen intel or ryzen you can't really.

Those are relatively new parts and as long as they're still under warranty it really doesn't matter if the part has been used for a year or 2 weeks. If a part doesn't fail in the first few hours of hard use chances are it won't fail for years to come. If you limit yourself to  only searching for (almost) brand new parts you're going to be hardpressed to find any. As far as what else should be in your build if you want maximum gaming performance and high FPS at competitive titles such as Valorant I'd go with a 10600K CPU and 16Gigs of RAM. On team red side you have the 3600x which is cheaper but gives you less single core performance or the 3700x which gives you 2 more cores and 16 threads in total.

Ada is worse than Ampere which is worse than Fermi, change my mind.

I would not pay a dime over $400 for a 2070 Super, because there's multiple used 1080 Tis in the market selling for less, and the 1080 Ti is within error of the 2070S in performance.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Idk i found a deal it was listed for 250 $ for an rtx 2070 super guy hasnt responded yet so im not sure :/ how long do i need to wait for the prices u listed to drop considerabely? I thought it would be cheaper since for 500 you get the 3070 whih is similar to the rtx 2080 ti in power in my head it just made sense that it would sell for 250

True but OP is looking for the safety net of items under warranty from what I can gather. 1080Tis are end of warranty at this point. Also a lot of 1080Tis have been abused during the mining craze  and now we can get into the whole debate of whether or not mining ruins a GPU or not  ( I personally don't think it  matters that much) and what are the actual chances of a GPU failing if it's been working flawlessly for 2 years which I think are pretty low but regardless warranty is nice to have.

I found a 2070 s selling for 250$ so my thought process was that. 250-gpu 250-cpu 200-ram,storage,case psu

is it legit though?

all 2070S i've seen is above $450, which is stupid high given that 3070 is $500 and RUMORED to be same as 2080ti

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

@Moonzy Yeah I'll believe it when I see it. Turing has been out for a full 2 years now and outside of very few games like Doom Ethernal the 1080Ti still delivers performance between the 2070S and 2080 depending on title. I'm still waiting for those "next gen" benefits to kick in and as far as ray tracing goes there's still very few people that would cut their FPS in half for raytracing especially with a 2070. RTX Voice and DLSS are the only 2 technologies that are even worth talking about when comparing Turing to Pascal and that's if we assume more than only the Nvidia sponsored titles will even support DLSS.
