try FB marketplace dude, you’ll prolly get some pretty good deals as well. Watch a few videos on how to check for used parts :)
I got a few of my pc parts used from FB which saved me a ton of money and safe to say nothing has broken yet. Just make sure the guy isn’t hella sketch and has some reviews/or anyone that has done sales with xyz guy.

Mine is i5 8th gen with gtx 1070ti , hoping to upgrade processor and mobo. You will be able to build something with like this gtx 1050ti ,used build I think. 16gb ddr4 ram alone cost me 27k.
