You are going to need to replace the PSU and AIO anyway for reliability. Haggle for 700 even, or dip.

I can't see if that GPU has a support bracket, but if it doesn't then it needs one.

 

Every used PC comes with a story. 😉

 

No comment on the price.

This post has been ninja-edited while you weren't looking.

 

I'm a used parts bottom feeder.  Your loss is my gain.

 

I like people who tell good RGB jokes.

@krgn This

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need. Expand this signature for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components.

 

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

 

Useful Websites:

Bio:

He/Him - I'm a PhD student working in the fields of reinforcement learning and traffic control. PCs are one of my hobbies and I've built many PCs and performed upgrades on a few laptops (for myself, friends and family). My personal computers include 4 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future). Aside from computers, I also dabble in modding/homebrew retro consoles, support Southampton FC, and enjoy Scuba Diving and Skiing.

Fun Facts

1) When I was 3 years old my favourite toy was a scientific calculator. 2) My father is a British Champion ploughman in the Vintage Hydraulic Class. 3) On Speedrun.com, I'm the world record holder for the Dream Bobsleigh event on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games 2010.

 

My Favourite Games: World of Tanks, Runescape, Subnautica, Metroid (Fusion and Dread), Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Original and Reignited Trilogy), Crash Bash, Mario Kart Wii, Balatro

12600k + 6900xt + 32gb 3200c16

 

You can cut down costs by going for a used case or you can go for a 1tb ssd

 

the psu is from some sort of oem brand called sirtech and apparently theyre pretty decent oems if the 12v rail matching the psu rating (70.9a/850.8w) is anything to go by, usually ebay has pretty shit deals on used psus compared to sites like fb marketplace, gumtree, etc. but i guess today theres just a good deal sitting there

You are going to need to replace the PSU and AIO anyway for reliability. Haggle for 700 even, or dip.
