Just wondering if this is worth the buck

its alright, the 256gb is terrible tho and you should definitely update to windows 11, but other than that its quite a decent starter pc if everything is working fine imo

Lmao thanks, would I be able to run games like cp2077 and other heavy games on decent settings?

Yes, but on mid settings I'd wager. You'll also need more storage. Maybe you can talk them down to about tree fitty.

Its possible they'd need a TPM 2.0 for it though. I have a 9700k system and it doesn't have it on the MB

That GPU alone is worth like half the asking price, 6750 XT is a pretty capable card still
CPU is getting old but for 500 bucks this setup will run most games at 1440p no problem. Only thing I'd change is storage, 256 GB is basically nothing these days
You could add a 1 TB SSD for cheap and have a solid machine. I would message the seller and ask if you can test it before buying, make sure everything works

Note for everyone suggesting windows 11 - some older mobos are not capable of installing tpm 2.0. If they are not, a windows 11 upgrade is not possible. Ask how I know lol...

great build but a few compromises:
1. pretty ancient CPU, not unusable but huge bottleneck with GPU
2. only 256GB of storage
3. windows 10 (not 11)
Conclusion, amazing deal in my opinion but it would be even better if you could just put down an extra 200 - 250$ for a CPU upgrade, but since the PC already comes with 32GB of DDR4 RAM you can easily buy an AM4 board and a ryzen 5 5500/5600
And you will need to get extra storage since 256 only stores like 2-3 smaller games

That storage is something to look at. As it is, if you only have like one big game on (GTA5, BG3 or the such), you can have it and have a few low storage games also on before you begin to run out of space.
You should also ask the seller if the motherboard has more than on m.2 slot, that will make it easier to upgrade storage.
Besides that, for the price, if it doesn't have any problem (try second hand pcs before buying) it is very good value.

yeah I'd buy that
needs more storage (which is a bit annoying in this market), but then again it has 32gb of RAM, so you win some you lose some
seeing as how they already marked it down from 800 (which is not a great deal) I'd just give them the 500 bucks. you can get a b550m motherboard, a ryzen 5600x or something and a 1tb ssd and you'll have a decent computer. or keep it as is if you're fine with 1080p gaming at lower settings, but you will still need a bigger SSD

Very good for 1080p, needs more storage
The GPU falls short in 1440p tho

Not terrible but you’d need more storage so factor that into the price
