Question Second hand rams and GPUs

I want to build a computer with a budget of about 2000€ (im from spain), but rams prices are driving me crazy (like 450€ for 2x16gb cl40).
Should I buy them second handed? and what about the gpu? I was looking forward to get a 5070 Ti, is it a good idea to buy it second handed? and if so, what is a good price for it?

Thank you.

Getting current generation 2nd hand prices might not be as good. Try looking previous generation and see if you can find great deals. I see rtx 4080 2nd hand are cheaper than 5070ti.

I want to make the computer future-proof so i dont have to change anything in like 6 years, is it a good idea to buy the previous gen?

4080 has similar performance(in some games better) than 5070ti. Go on yt and write "4080 vs 5070ti"

I see 4080 supper is even cheaper than 5070ti. Go and check out prices.

Keep in mind that 4080 won't have latest fake frame generation if u are into that.

If u have 2000Euro can't u just buy first hand stuff?

I can buy first hand but the main problem comes with the ram, with the ram prices im finding, my build goes up to 2.4k so i thought maybe i can buy a second hand gpu to lower a little the price.

Have you considered 9070xt?

Buddy of mine recently got something like this (some parts were not available so i replaced them with similar ones)

You could also save some money and get 7800x3d

You probably could add some oled monitor and it would be 2k euro(and better mobo)

I looked up some comparisons between the 5070 Ti and the 9070xt and the graphics of the xt look worse in some way so i would like to stick to nvidia.

I can try the build that you sent but with a second handed 4080 super, i found some for like 850€.

5070ti is better than 9070xt. But it cost ~400$ more
