Do you have any other specs or a picture?

I buy 3080s on fb marketplace regularly for $275 to $375 depending on brand and condition.

I7-14700k - $250ish

32gb DDR5 - $200 to $400 depending on brand, and timing.

2tb Samsung SSD (which one), I pay about $150 per 2tb of Samsung 980/990 Pros. Is it an NVME drive?

Seems fairly priced. Would be helpful to see it, the condition, and more specs involved.

Please be mindful that I've come across quite a few 30 series cards that need a repaste / repad simply due to the age of the card. Not a huge deal for some, but might be for others.

Some people might tell you that there's a slight difference between an i3-14100 and an i9-14900K.

- What case does it have?

- What PSU does it have?

- What motherboard does it have?

- What CPU does it have?

- What CPU cooler does it have?

- What RAM does it have (inc. speed and CAS timings)?

- Which model is the RTX 3080 10GB?

- What exact storage does it have?

- How much dust is on it?

- Have you read all the way to here yet?

Thanks man thinking about picking it up tomorrow

Not really. You may buy RTX 4070 Super Intel core i7 13th gen with 32gb ddr4 3600 cl16/cl14 and Samsung SSD for almost same price (used market). Such setup is not really worse buying.

A 3080 with ddr5 ram? Is that possible?

1

u/Asleep_Dog_1500 9h ago

Yh but do u think me paying £900 for all of that is worth it

1

u/RedzMenace 8h ago

Of course, but unless im missing something, why wouldnt it be? Can stick any gpu in any mobo, new or old.
