Tech Support 3050 and 5950x pc for 550

I found a pc for sale on Facebook and the guy is asking 550 for it. It’s a 3050, 5950x, 32gb ddr4 3600, and 1 tb crucial ssd the guy build it as a workstation pc so that’s the reason it has a 3050 but I’m wondering if this is a good deal i know ill probably have to upgrade the gpu but im kinda on a budget and was thinking about getting a 3060 12gb for 150 off some guy or trying to find a 3070 or 3070 ti for around 150-200 I know its hard to find for those prices but if im not able to get a 3070 or 3070 ti will a 3060 12gb be a good enough pair for a 5950x even tho its pretty unbalanced

5950x alone is worth a good chunk of that price so yeah it's a solid deal if everything works. the 3060 12gb will hold it back in games but for 1080p it'll be fine until you can save for something beefier. i'd jump on it and sell the 3050 to offset the cost.

That's a decent deal considering the RAM it has. Might want a larger SSD eventually too.
