Help Choosing Hardware

[hassam1957]

Someone has a desktop with this hardware listed for 275 online is this a good deal?

 

AMD 2700X

ASRock B450 Pro4

8gb RAM Radeon

RX 5700 XT

165hz LG Ultragear Monitor(exact model unspecified)

 

I thought this was a pretty good deal but am unsure. I currently have a Blade 15 with a GTX 1660ti and a 10th gen i7. Thought this might be a good deal to keep the parts I need and sell the ones I don’t need and upgrade. What do you guys think? Should I buy or look elsewhere for newer parts?

Hey that's not bad 275$ for all of it? Are you serious? That's a STEAL A STEAL you better yoink that deal real quick.

You get an RX 5700 XT which is a 2070/2060 equivalent 

You can sell the CPU and MOBO separately or together usually separated = more dough I'd say 60$ for each = 120$ easy money
toss the RAM onto the MOBO for free since RAM is hard to sell independently

ALWAYS MAKE SURE BUYER PAYS SHIPPING you save/get more money that way

And you could just sell the 165 monitor as well for more dough well not sure what brand it is but at least 200$+ or more you could get way with selling it for 200$ flat if you wish. So you just made your money back maybe not a big profit but you made money back

Thank you this is the insight I was looking for. I am not really familiar with AMD parts so this helps put things into perspective.

I am confused why anyone would sell a system for that cheap. I would be suspicious if a deal looks too good to be true honestly.

you'd never know, sometimes it might be a family selling random gear they have zero knowledge of, perhaps a punishment or maybe just selling to get rid of it all in one go.

So I am going in person to buy it tomorrow. Is there any specific thing I should look out for? I was thinking about running a user benchmark test just to see if the parts are running similarly compared to the same hardware elsewhere. I know a lot of people say user benchmark is biased but will it be fine for my purposes? I would download 3DMark but that takes a little while to download and I don't want to spend 15 minutes just to setup benchmarking.

for your own safety don't go at night or at somewhere like an alleyway. Maybe try and meet in a public place
