Refurbished $400 PC worth it ?

[Zeinone]

Hi LTT!

 

My friend wants to buy himself a new pc but he has quite a low budget, and found a pc with the following components:

CPU: i7 2600 3,40 GHz

HDD: 500GB

RAM: 8GB DDR3

GPU: Palit GTX 1050 Ti

 

He's not that big of a hardcore gamer, due to him playing pretty much only CSGO.

In my opinion it's not worth due to the outdated i7 bottlenecking the 1050Ti, but do tell me your opinions. It has a 12 month warranty and priced at a 400$ equivalent in my country.

That i7 is still perfectly capable.

No, the i7 won't bottleneck.Some people still use  sandy bridge cpus with gtx 1070s.

its a pretty good deal if you ask me.

If you were throwing in a GTX1070, a way more powerful GPU with overall, hugely higher average and Max FPS values.....the Max FPS and some of the Average FPS will be shaved off, the minimum FPS drops would be worse, but likely not bad enough to warrant abusing the platform...plenty playable, it's only long in the tooth to a certain point.

The 1050Ti, performs MUCH like a HD7950/7970/GTX680, which all ran just fine on the old i5/i7 2500/2600 Series of CPU's just fine in many titles. And still would in my mind, a great combo, the shortfall being you can't OC that CPU, but with a 1050Ti, it's not really going to be pushed as hard as other higher end GPU's would push it trying to deliver 2-3x the framerate.

That i7 is capable having GTX1080 with itself together

that pc will do you fine , i run an i7 2600 and it holds up great ,

also that 1050 is pretty okay and will do you fine for stuff like csgo
