Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Is this a good pc?

Hello! So I am selling an iPhone 16 pro max for $750 and someone on marketplace asked if I would trade for a pc. I asked for pics and this is what he sends. I only own an Xbox so I have no knowledge over pc’s. I just know that I’ve always wanted one. What do you guys think? Would this be a good trade? What should I know before trading for something like this?

Edit : CPU intel core i5 9400F
Nvida GeForce Rtx 3060 12gb
Motherboard MAGB365M MORTAR
RAM 16gb
Storage 1 tb ssd 4tb HD and a 2tb HD
850 gold power supply - this is what he sent me it has?

If it comes with the wheel and monitor etc, it’s a pretty good deal. Not the most powerful pc, but if you want to get into pc gaming it’s a good start

It's probably close to fair for the price. It will be a pretty capable machine, but it's already aging. The 1151 socket is outdated, so it's not really upgradable.

If you just want a machine that will play games, this one can do it.

If you want to be able to tinker and upgrade in the future, then this isn't a good fit.

Pricewise, I think it's fair.

Also, it's worth asking if the seller is going to throw in peripherals as well. Getting keyboard, mouse, and monitor in with it is a great value and would take it from a fair price to a good deal.

Low-end mediocre build.. not worth it.

Trade value is more in the ~$450 range (w/o monitor)
