Used parts?

I am planning a pretty expensive build for my YouTube set up. It will cost 3000usd for everything including mouse and monitor etc. I was thinkin about buying some parts second hand.

I am considering buying second hand monitor (acer xb270hu ), mobo (x99 sabertooth), ram ( ddr4 2400 corsair LPX 4 x4gb) , ssd (dunno yet), hard drive ( 2 or 3 tb of wd black ), and the CPU (i7 5820k)

allways meet with the seller at your/his home, so you can test the components

All I can say is make sure you 100% have a warranty (proof of purchase warranty stickers etc) and that you don't spend more than 60% of retail

For memory do a memtest

For motherboards test dimms and pcie slots USB ports and no bent pins

For GPU run fur mark

For monitor no dead pixels

SSD's and hard drives are better off brand new IMO

If you're going to buy second hand parts, never buy hard drives. They could be broke or have viruses on them (I hope not). You should only buy GPU's, Monitors, Perpherals or RAM. That's what I would do. (Make sure they work and have warranty).

For the GPU i was looking at the GTX 980 ti. It's relatively new so i could not find second hand ones

Oh and what do you guys think of used 5820k? The guy said it could be clocked to 3.5 Ghz
