Upgrades fore a second hand PC

[l.bauluz]

Budget (including currency): 300 Euros

Country: Netherlands (EU)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080p gaming

Other details 

I recently found myself looking for a second PC as I moved away from home and I am currently on a somewhat tight budget of 300 euros for upgrades.

I found a listing on eBay at 350 euros for a second hand PC containing a Ryzen 5 2600, 2x8gb of ddr4 2666 RAM, AB350 Gigabyte motherboard, 256gb NVMe SSD, a RX 5500xt 8gb GPU and 530w PSU.

I decided to buy it as it will fulfil my needs for the time being but I wouldn't mind some advice for future upgrades, second hand hardware if possible due to budgetary constraints as mentioned earlier. 

 

Any advice?

Thanks!

If the mobo supports it, a newer Ryzen would be good, perhaps a 2nd storage drive, depending on use of the PC

Honestly not a bad PC for 300 euros! I would probably upgrade the motherboard and ddr4 that is at least 3200MHz and maybe even more storage to install games on and if you really could the PSU could be changed however looking at the cpu and gpu combo it's not all too bad!
