Second hand pc build 300-500 euro

[jan-pieter14]

Hello everyone my gaming laptop with a 960m is dying and I need a replacement. Was looking at secondhand desktops / gpus in the area.

I am looking for something to run World of Tanks, the cheaper the better. The vega 56 however is a bit more powerful than the other ones I was looking at so would offcourse be a bit more.

Some prices in the area (I am open to building it myself if it would be cheaper):

- desktop with a vega 56 asks 700 but open to discussion (would try to get it for 500)

- desktops with a gtx970 are 300-350 euro (card alone about 160)

- desktops with a 1060 are 450-500 euro (card alone about 180)

- desktops with a 1070 are 650-750 euro (card alone about 350)

- desktops with a 1650 are 450-550 euro (card alone about 200-250)

Budget (including currency): 500 max but preferably 300 euro

Country: Belgium

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: World of tanks

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 1440p screen but have been playing on it at 1080p and I don't mind it. I always turn the settings down anyways to have high framerate.

I think I would go for the 1060  if I were you, the Vega if you wanted something a little more.

wow what's happening with the 1650 there?? Yeah I was thinking that would be the best choice as well. Would I build it myself though? This website has op good list of processors and prices (click on a cpu to see where it is in stock) https://be.hardware.info/processors.3#filter:q1YqKMpMTk3Ozy1QsqpWKkhMT1WyUjJU0lEqzi8qATJzM_PAKuITi5OBotmpleX5RSnFQBkgDywTlJgH0lQNUhoAEoDI5SZWwHm1QOMy8suDS_KTs2HGF6Qmx5tYWkA1hiXmlMKVgqQMLSwgcokVGHJmhqYmWPTl5ueVZBQ7pueD-bUA

If you are buying used it makes sense to buy a build system because this way you can get the best deals. If someone is selling one part for 80 and you try to haggle it is unlikely that he will give much  , but on a 400-500 € System you can haggle down more because they will still get a good amount of money

What is the rest of the systems like?

 

Put in similar offers for the 970 and 1060 and see who excepts the 1060 seller might not even respond if they think you offer is stupidly low. One thing to bear in mind only consider the 1060 if it is a 6 GB card.

 

Also GTX 680, 770, 780 or RX 470, 480, 570, 580 are big steps up from a 960m.

1060 builds were a bit too low, it's closer to 500. Processors like i5 6400, i5 8400, i3 9100f. Don't want too go that old for the nvidia cards and the amd cards are way too expensive, probably because of mining.
