2800$ gamer/video render monster (ONLY used parts)

[iHoller]

After building a Xeon gamer for under 1000$ i got the idea to make a MONSTER machine with only used parts.

The budget was max 3000$ and shut include everything from monitor to cables, so start with nothing.

I'd, at first, think the same. But both of those processors alone were $3000 when they were sold new (based on a quick Newegg search).

dont for the love of god get a used powersupply if you dont know that it is working 100% correctly but otherwise that is a beast in terms of all games especaly the ones that is cpu intensive go for that if you know the parts are working

Unless, it's a good seller and the PSU is actually "good".  The only time I ever go used PSU is if it's a Seasonic or Superflower from a good/known seller.
