Second Hand Appreciation

[Santa_Dwarf]

I recently introduced my friend to PC gaming, and he got hooked.

I decided to build a PC for him using a combination of second hand bits and new bits.

For 360 GBP I got a little beast.

R9 280x from MSI

3570k

8gigs of corsair ram

P8H67 rev 3.0 mobo

New vs550 psu

New CM K380

Artic Cooling Alpine 11 GT

 

Its fairly new but so far we've tried DayZ and Battlefield 4 and the results were stunning. Such a good value for the performance. Details can be provided if desired.

 

So what are your experiences with second hand tech stuff?

Second hand is best hand.

 

Anything that goes into a PC without any moving parts is good to buy second hand (everything except PSUs and HDDs)

Graphics cards can be risky though, if you buy one that's older than 1.5 years. But I consider it a borderline acceptable buy used.

In this case, PC pew pew consoles

all that for £360, that's pretty good

I genuinely thought this was going to be a thread about having 2 hands.

People don't appreciate their left hand enough.

 

That's a really sweet deal for 360 pounds OP. Which parts did you reuse?
