i7 2600 used build

[EPPHO]

So i live in Europe, more specific-in country where everything is (i have to say) fucked up. I can get used build with i7 2600,8GB RAM,motherboard (obviously) and a case for around 240$. To compare that price to brand new stuff, i5 6400 costs more (about 255$). I have hard drive from my current build and i am okay with putting it in i7 2600 build. I would also buy some new GPU like rx 470 or 480. So what do you think is going with used parts worth here? Consider that i am going to use the build for like year to year and a half when i will have to switch to notebook.

If you are only going to use it for ca. 1 year i would say buy the 2600k

<but depends on what res and framerate you want to play on. Also which games?

go for it a 2600 and a 480 would make a kickass combo

Yeah a Sandy i7 is still a relevant CPU

$240 for those parts is a steal

its a good platform to game on

It's 2600 not 2600k. Games? My dream is to play GTA5 and H1Z1 which is impossible with my current setup which is horrible. I am pretty much okay with any framerates i just want it to be playable so even a GTX1050ti would work for me but i'll probably go with something better than 1050ti

Then a 2600 will do just fine. Paired with a 1050to/1060, it should play all newer games at high/ultra
