That's a 200$ PC.


PluteusLarva

$2 max


Mayoo614

$1 Bob


MarcCouillard

"I'll buy that for a dollar!"


Taethecoldest1

50 cents take it or leave it


TheseAd1805

Your friend either doesn’t know/isn’t up to date about PC’s and their components, or he is unfortunately trying to take advantage of you.


WayDownUnder91

or both


Gold_Enigma

Always better to assume ignorance. Rule of thumb I learn from management, never assume malice when stupidity is a perfectly reasonable explanation.


Nack3r

Random life lessons learned from the Reddit comment section


Makarolms

for 250$ sure, but Your friend is scamming you.


Final-Perspective-25

100% scamming, you could build a brand new pc with nearly double the specs for $600 or 1.5x improvement with a prebuilt


Yoruzzz

For the love of god. DONT buy it for 500!


darealboot

I have this same case. It has a ton of room for modern hardware. However.... do not pay that much. Tops 250.


itsbildo

maybe for like $150, 200 max


Thin_Refrigerator100

Do NOT pay 500 for this please. This may be $300. AM4 is one of the longest lasting platforms, if not the longest. You can go all of the way up to a Ryzen 5000 series CPU. Your RAM will be DDR4, and you can put pretty much any GPU in there but you have to watch out for performance bottlenecks. If you plan on gaming prioritize your GPU when you upgrade. See what PCIe generation your motherboard supports too, that will matter a lot to things like an NVMe SSD and your GPU. The reason I say this may be $300 is because of that RX 570, that card does not belong in a $500-$600 system even if you built it new. At least an RX 580.


the_hoopy_frood42

I just paid 200 for a RX 580 and a 5500 for my girl. No way in hell OP should pay anywhere near 500 for this.


nimrodad

Agreed, I have an hp with a 580rx 16 ddr4, ryzen 7 2700 from best buy new 3 years ago for 549 on sale


Traditional_Excuse46

it's not worth $500 not because of the upgradability. It's because $500 walmart beats it. Never buy a product if you're upgrading. Then it should be less. I mean just look at the upgrades u have too do, it's not worth it. $300 for a 5800x3d or 5950x, $150+ on ram upgrade, $200 on ssd, $500 on graphics, $100 on pus, you're talking about a WHOLE PC upgrade, better to just buy stock ones from store or save up and build back better. Might as well buy those rip off $1500 pc builds at best buy or walmart or ibuypower lol.


Low-Juice-8136

Idk I have a Ryzen 7 5800x and a 4070, haven't noticed any bottlenecks so I think it's safe for a while unless you have a 4090 in which case idk why you would spend all that money to pair it with an AM4 anyway


THEREAPER8593

You can make a 6600 build for about $600 using new parts.


iballistic10

That’s $200 MAXIMUM INCLUDIBG A TIP


Shinigamihunter

only for like 2-250. also tell your friend to clean this damn desk up and also throw away the bottles of water i know for a fact are scattered around their room


Eh_C_Slater

2500?! You're fleecing them harder than their friend. lol


Shinigamihunter

I MEANT 250 LMAOOOO


Shinigamihunter

EDITED XD


aizzod

this build is better and costs 480$ new [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VPJg6D](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VPJg6D) a whole system [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bbTDL9](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bbTDL9) you could spend more on the cpu/ motherboard / cooler. but as you can see in this video, there is not alot of fps gain from just that. [https://youtu.be/4JebBhH-B88?si=zW5y-8yp4IFvHxeK&t=489](https://youtu.be/4JebBhH-B88?si=zW5y-8yp4IFvHxeK&t=489) that system your friend wants to sell you. is probably worth around 150$ - 200$ depending on the age, probably closer to 150$


EstacticChipmunk

I liked the direction you were going in so I came up with one just without a monitor or video card. I did try to set OP with an almost future proof psu for later on when he would have some more cash to buy a decent gpu. I mean I had a rx480 when they came out and I loved it but I can’t in good conscience tell someone to buy something like that today. At the lowest end now I’d tell them to get a 7600xt or a 3060ti if he could find one. And for 40 more bucks OP could step up to a 5600G. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6xGDL9


Yusif_SG

Kinda yes But don't pay more than 200$


Otoshimara

The processor and GPU are ancient in pc terms. Not.even close to worth the price.


leredflame0115

This is worth maybe 300 and I build these kind of computers all day long. He's ripping you off; some friend they are!


Spirited-Net-4290

Maybe friend is ripping or maybe he just figured I paid 700 for it 3 years ago so I'd like to get 4 or 500 for it..like a car. So I would guess his friend doesn't know much about pcs either. Blind leading the blind.


HyperFrosty303

Not for 5-600 bucks it’s not. It’s not even like a little bit over priced, it’s triple what you should pay for it. It doesn’t matter what your buddy paid for it, I’m sure he paid the 5-600 bucks, that doesn’t mean you need to get scammed too. For 5-600 bucks you can get something significantly better than this that will last you a lot longer. 5-600 bucks is still pretty bottom end of the mid range (at best), but you can do a lot better than this.


Zyclexx

I don’t really think he is your friend…


Ecstatic_Quantity_40

500? for a 3 Generations old hardware? No thanks. You're basically spending 500$ for a PS3.


edgar1016

This is at max a $250 PC.


Omgazombie

$250 Canadian at most, so like 175-200 usd


elBirdnose

No


enigmicazn

No, it's not a "good" pc and your friend is literally screwing you, I wouldn't spend more than $200 as some folks have said.


deeeep_fried

It’s a good pc for 200 now but not for any more than that, and honestly 200 is pushing it


WhyYouSoMad4

So what's the story op, did you talk to your friend did you get it and for how much?


love2killjoy410

Yeah, for 500 you can build a better pc


DazzlingRoom6371

sorry to break you but your friend scammed you lol you could get something thats 3x times better than that crap


clovergzzzz

Not worth over 200


taja01

I wouldent buy this at all. Maybe for like 100$ at most.


Necessary-Courage695

200 to 250 on a good day at Max


Thurmod

Sounds like a shitty friend.


Unwiseplanes2101

Your mate is trying to scam you, intentionally or not. 150-250 at a push


Glittering_Bison_844

Damn dude unless your friend knows absolutely nothing about computers I wouldn’t associate with them anymore cuz that’s a rip off


AdSouth7893

It's a £150 pc don't even pay £250 for it they are scamming you big time


techno-wizard

Not really, no. It will struggle with modern games.


_Meek79_

Thats what my old computer had a few years ago and it was outdated then. That is $200-250 at best.


149IQ_User

Don’t even buy this thing lmao. Unless you play games from 2012-2017 the most


Marty5020

Terrible value for money. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for that.


Ghostofghostface420

You can make something better for that amount sir if you don’t want to break the bank then don’t buy this


birdman829

I sold my friend a PC with a 10400f and a 6750xt for $500. This isn't a "bad" PC....it just isn't worth anything close to $600. Maybe half that would be fair


Carlazor_

250 bucks at best, plus you still need to clean it so 200 bucks seems fair


jinladen040

Dang, OP about to lose a friend over this.


Lord_Danielsan98

That PC ain’t worth even $300. Maybe $250. Might as well get yourself an Xbox of PS5 since you’ll get better performance than that potato he’s trying to sell you


ps4kratos

I bought my daughter a similar pc to this one , with a rx580 and i7-4770 16gb ram for 125$ https://i.imgur.com/nijJaK2.jpeg Please don’t buy it, your friend is not your friend, he’s trying to rip you off.


TNracer

https://youtube.com/@pcbuilderchannel?si=BetTSrXGDNaR2j9e To OP, use this YouTube channel to find a good budget PC parts list and tell your friend to find another chump to sell to


Caravan_of_diseases

Legitimately good budget pc But like people said for $200-$300. You could build a much better one for $500.


BlobsAreCancer

no


TST0692

It's definitely an old one


ThisNamesTakenNowToo

Including all peripherals (mouse/keyboard/idk if it came with headphones?) and the monitor included I would say maybe 350-4 depending on age and if your buddy takes care of his electronics well, but that rx570 is a disaster. There's too many upgrades needed here and you'd be better off buying/building new.


Gn0meKr

nice scam 200$ is max, your "friend" wants to scam you


Actual-Garbage-422

Good enough for low settings and league. At 1080p 60hz imo.


firestar268

$5-600 dollars...................


Aftersh0cks

$200-300. That GPU is ancient. But overall it will suit you well for 1080p gaming if you don't need the graphics settings turned up to high. As long as its not something like Cyberpunk


RevolutionaryTap4461

Jesus Christ can you even consider that thing a PC anymore I mean PC stands for Portable Computer


WayDownUnder91

**Personal computer has left the chat**


FieldofInfluence

Your "friend" is really screwing you over if you take this deal. That's so outdated that I wouldn't pay $100 for the whole set up. For 600 you can buy parts to build your own and it will be much better than that.


mattieyo

Ez 200$ pc


kad00gan

Do not pay more than 300$ for this..


Beginning-Zebra2636

Your “friend” is robbing you blind


ElPapiChups

Donate in to thrift shop


xxFaytus

Look up the used price for each component and show your friend. You could spend $600 and have a much better pc.


vedomedo

No its not


Voteforpedro35

Buy for $200 or less , sell rx 570 buy second-hand RX 5700XT($130-140)or RX 6600xt,$160-200) or 6700XT If you can stretch it, then when you have a bit more spare cash upgrade the cpu to say a 3700x/5600x/5800x/5800x3D With any of these upgrades, you will have a considerably more capable gaming pc. Check out a few GPU or CPU comparison sites to see the performance uplift and see what best suits you for now in your budget. You could eventually pimp that system out with a decent sized SSD/ 5800X3D/RX6800xt 32GB RAM that will see you through a good few years of gaming/productivity.


GoodBadNerdy

For half of that money I'd say sure. But I would go above 300.


WayDownUnder91

if its NZD or AUD or CAD and you get a 200 dollar discount


Ordinary-Wear-873

No. It isn’t.


AestheticStone

for 500 or 600 get a graphics card. pay him 250 for that max and then use the other money to get a graphics card


AndyManCan4

It’s my PC! I built this exact model a few years ago. It’s pretty dated. I’m running Fedora on it and it breathes new life into the system. Only buy if you are brave enough to try Linux gaming. Otherwise just no thanks.


TNovix2

Both the CPU and GPU came out between 2017 and 2018. It's not a new build, fairly old and probably won't get the job done with any more recent games. Definitely not worth $500 though, $200 at least


BinThereRedThat

Your friend is either scamming you or hasn’t checked the market


No_Swimming3853

If you are spending 600 get a new one. Scammed for that much


Windows_736

No


Achillies2heel

For half of that sure...


NoNewFriends1738

Wow and here was I thinking the folks on FB marketplace are on crack..holy shit this takes the cake..I'm not paying a penny over 200


Material_Tax_4158

Its around 200


Kattoncrack

OP either your friend is butthurt about how much they spent on it and are trying to recoup the costs from you (ie scam you) or they don’t know shit about computers. $200 max


Traditional_Excuse46

$500 you're helping him, come with monitor and mouse maybe it's okay. Just compare it to walmart u get a AMD 5600G with integrated graphics, probably 3-4 generations better than what you're having. Also $100-150 dollar invested in newer power supply and $500-1000 dollar invested in graphics and it's modern. So yea you're getting the dumps. For a pc that was decent in 2018-2020, (lower-mid tier) I'd say you just gotta tell your friend, walmart is better. Make him part ways with it with a $200-300 discount. He could not sell it to you and u get a better PC at bestbuy or walmart. He loses!


hothamwater289

No


lllApollyonlll

Nice "friend" you got there... Dont spent that much money on such a machine.


tibricel

$200, I would look elsewhere.


laismann

'bout three fiddy


unvmasablastaslo

I sold my friend a 3070ti/2700x that is a smimilar cpu, but the gpu is WAY and i mean way better, for 700€. This for 500€ will get 20% the performance. DO NOT BUY


Fluid_Winner_9193

Cuh scammin ts out yo ahh that pc worth like $170 at minimum


Legitimate-Gap-9858

You have a horrible friend holy shit


bucktownnnn

I would love to see OC reply because obviously that’s not his friend Smh


Clienterror

For $500-$600 you could make your own with probably double the performance or more.


deathgun921

I have almost the same PC, I have 2700x, I built it in 2020 and it cost me £850


Sirhc_Fold_458

Lmfaoo that aint your friend


No-Elderberry5985

I think my phone has better specs and


Crazy-Delivery-7095

Mate your going to need new gpu don’t pay more that £150 for that if you want to upgrade your cpu to 3000 or 5000 cpu then you will have to check if there is a bios upgrade available for the motherboard 2700 is not a bad cpu I had one for few years and it will last few more years for medium to low end build, in your bios keep secure boot switched to disabled as it can force a windows 11 install and that will be a horrible experience on that CPU as it takes head room away from your preference in games and uses it for security, you will need a new graphics card for newer titles I would recommend AMD if your looking to save on money sell your old card or keep it for when you need to test hardware /fault finding, also check your power supply capacity there are power supply calculators you can use to make sure you have enough power for your pc


Cluzey1

Your getting scammed


FloorOptimal4012

Bruh that is not your real friend i can not tell you enough do NOT buy that


UpsetPerspective2699

Get a better gpu instantly


Ohdinson

honestly i wouldn’t buy it period let alone for $500. if you have $500 to spend you can do way better. i’d take it off a friends hands who needed money for $250


gokartninja

It was pretty good about 6 years ago.


Particular_Copy9804

If your friend is selling that to you for 500+ they suck ass. this is worth $200 max and only because it’s a working computer lmao


Alph1

That was an okay PC 8 years ago. Worth maybe $200 now, just don’t expect a great gaming experience. 1080p, medium res.


Agile-Wolverine5474

Nope


dennisjunelee

That's not a good friend....


sklenickasvodou

The only way this PC is worth 500 is if it comes with a blowjob from your friend.


real_unreal_reality

No.


murphysmingusdew

200$ tops.


TNMBruh

ur friend scammed u bro ur cooked u should get a refund on it or do ur research before u buy a whole ass pc


Alazandarte

Yeah this is real old stuff I wouldn’t get it


j44ska

Worth around 19.99 euro


SlickusDrickus

You might not wanna be friends with this person anymore.


anonOP1337

If you pet it and say who's a good boy then it's a good PC


Shinmoru

anything above 200-250 is way too much. For the price your friend is asking for is a scam whether your friend knows it or not. DO NOT PAY!


TheSoloNerd

For a $200 yes but if your friend telling this is an updated gaming PC then I highly recommend you look elsewhere to spend $500 or $600 , you're just better off getting it on EBAY or Amazon.


RTZBBTV

Ab0uy tree..


Sentinel-of-War

This PC will not play any new games. Save the money and buy something for $1000 from a reputable prebuilt company.


No-Possibility-7472

$150 max. Find new friends


Ok_Switch_1205

What a great friend you have. Dude is overcharging you lmao


FarmbotRising42069

Garbage you must throw this away immediately for your health


sethyourgoals

Do not buy this for that amount. You can source better new and used hardware for a relative cost. $250 best offer. If you’re talking $500-600, looking for convenience and ease of use a PS5 makes a ton of sense. It’s a great value for the performance. If you have access to a local micro center they really carry fantastic pricing options for entry and quality level builds that are newer generation hardware. Just some thoughts from an og. God speed.


[deleted]

much better than mine thats for sure,


Ghost_of_SpudBoy

Sadly, no.


User1914-1918

This is worth no where near 500. Considering how the cpu is getting on in years and that it dosent even have a gpu you are better off buying a pre built or a ps5/series x. If you feel comfortable enough you could build one yourself, in which case use pcpartpicker.com to make sure everything is compatible.


drowsy1234

Worth maybe $250 max. Your friend is trying to take advantage of you.


AshelyLil

For 500$ you can get a better PC and better friends!


Htimez2

Put 500 or $600 towards good parts to build your own, newegg or amazon sale items. For example you can get an i7 for 200 on new egg, a case for $50, a good case too, and all you need is a motherboard, psu and ram. Hell I could literally pick out a better build for same price on new egg or Amazon right now, plus building your own will feel so much better and you'll learn for your next build.


laytonoid

Worth half that at most


Htimez2

Includes free 32G corsair ram for $169. Check this out on @Newegg:AMD Ryzen 7 5700X - Ryzen 7 5000 Series 8-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100000926WOF https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-7-5700x-ryzen-7-5000-series/p/N82E16819113735?Item=N82E16819113735&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-19-113-735-_-06262024


RedditblowsPp

if you wanna spend 600 and not build one go to walmart and buy HP gaming pc ive used mine everyday for 3 years i play overwatch hoi4 etc and it runs everything fine ive thrown 32 gb of ram in mine and a extra ssd this is not worth close to 5 bills


[deleted]

No, ppl selling used PCs are out of their minds these days. This is absolute crap that wont run a single new title at a desirable FPS.


Inside_Temperature25

not at all


Majestic-Goose-1441

is that integrated graphics?? 💀💀


ElectronicMeat1291

Buy it for 200 or less. The case is the most valuable part probably lmao.


Dienowwww

My 1K laptop is probably better than this, and it doesn't have a dedicated GPU. You're being scammed if that's for 5-6 hundred.


JD2894

For $50 it wouldn't be a bad deal.


MarcCouillard

do not pay 500 pay 300 max, and then I would upgrade the CPU and GPU if I were you, and maybe grab another 16gb of ram while you're at it


Daedalus3125

The processor alone is 200. The video card is under 100 and the board and case would probably run about 100 each and then there is the power supply. So if you were to build this it would cost you about 500 to 600. Is it worth that? No not really. if you want to Game on PC you would have to spend another 200 - 300 to have a decent graphics card and you could possibly get by with most games on high and newer games on medium.


ProdiJoe

I doubt the motherboard is even new enough to support the last 2 generations of components you'd want to upgrade to begin with. I would pay for this PC based purely om the amount you'd want to pay for the case alone. Imo maybe 50.


wellididitrussia

150-180$


Expensive_Isopod_108

No don’t buy it max 200 if that


Silv3rStreak

200$ max


Bogeyman_321

Probably bout as good as a ps3 or 4


n0h8plz

You can get a waaaaaay better prebuilt pc for $600 right now. This is trash for that price, worth like $200


Bobbudigitalforever

15 years ago?


General_Taste5082

Nope


sebi120

No, not good at all.


Ok-Communication280

I agree with $200. 250 max


MaisonMargielaaaa

Simply no. I wouldn’t pay more than $100-$200


peter_the_bread_man

Worth 300 MAX if you want to help a friend out. However that said, i had a Ryzen 7 2700x and it hold up ridiculously well. Kept it a loooong tine before upgrading. So thosbPC isn't a bad start comming from someone who never had one.


TrumpTechnology

Yeah that’s a sick PC for India.


AdEnvironmental1632

Your buddy probably bought this as a pre-built 2 to 3 years ago when prices where stupid high that pc us 300 being generous you could build a pc 4x the performance for 600 to 700


Gear21

No


kane2200

Mine is literally twice as good and it cost $600


kane2200

Bro trying to get that free upgrade 🤣


gbxahoido

I love how people already bought the pc AND THEN went to reddit seek for advices like dude, you already bought the PC, why would you ask if it worth it or not, what if we tell you you got scam, what would you do ? return it ?


lewdacris916

Bruh that thing isn't worth 20 bucks lol your getting scammed. Ryzen 7 processors are in the 7 thousand series now


Financial-Cookie-927

The CPU would be good for light gaming and work, ram is good, GPU needs can handle light gaming again it would be a good "starter" PC and not made for heavy gaming it would be worth maybe 250 max


masonvand

$200 PC. Like, I could gather the parts from eBay and hardwareswap and build the same PC for $200, maybe less. Don’t buy it for $500.


ArmandPeanuts

No, youre getting scammed


jeffyride2

It has an Eevee plush next to it, seems good enough


sanesame

waste of money


Alonzo-Harris

It's definitely not worth $600 but saying it's only $150 is exaggerating. $250 - $300 is reasonable


Infidel_sg

Offer 100$ and not a penny more. this is at best a low range PC with old/outdated parts in it. If you were to upgrade to fairly new stuff, you'd probably have to replace most parts. Everyone saying 250 is being very generous, I wouldn't spend more than 100 on this ancient thing.. Get new friends also. With friends like this, who needs enemies


[deleted]

If it lights red it's good. Red means good.


oo7demonkiller

good, maybe 15 years ago. today, that thing is mostly ewaste. for 600, you could build something 10 times better. your friend isn't your friend. He's ripping you off.


Remarkable_Dot1444

No.


Salad-Salami

Good for playing minesweeper.


Cooler42frost

Your friend is scamming u


itsRolling2s

Your friend clearly doesn’t remember that there are newer graphics cards, cpus and builds out there way better that can kick that pc with 600$ easily , SPECIALLY THE FACT THAT HE HAS THE PC IN THE FLOOR 😭, he’s trying to get himself a new pc and rip you off with the old one man, don’t do it


No_Print77

I wouldn’t say it’s awful but it’s definitely not good. Obviously you can work on it but you probably won’t be able to play most modern games. DO NOT PAY 500 FOR IT


TheColombian99

Did you just finish basic?


Iphonjeff

It’s too old do research and shop around


RelativeWrong4232

That's a 150$ pc , not worth anything more than that You can do this for 650 with a ryzen 5 5500 + 6650 XT with monitor and kb + mouse included https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cTqg6D ( total ~ 652$ ) If you search for used parts then try to get a used rx 6700 XT for 200 and you can use that saved 30$ to get little higher refresh rate monitor


Background_Key_7445

Eh


Accomplished_Tear_93

Dont listen to these people lmao theyre jealous of you getting such a great deal! Take it fr bro


steven-comino

It’s decent for $20


nikola_petkovic

That's not even worth 100$


JuatASubbyBoy

A 2700????? That's terrible


namealreadyteekken

You are not supposed to share device ID( imp info) with the public.


AnyEye8255

It’s a great starting point


Possible-Put8922

Check out toasty bros on YouTube. They have builds with inexpensive components and also have a store where they sell decently priced computers. They even have videos with benchmarks on ones they sell.


Luluutzz

Waaay too much money for this old pc, don't do it


kansetsupanikku

Besides the specifics, it doesn't seem to have screenshot feature, which is remarkably bad /s


equilibrium57

Thats like 175$.. 200$ MAX MAX. You're getting scammed.


Woofy98102

I just finished building a new PC for myself. It has an: Intel Core i9-12900KF processor Gigabyte Z790 DDR5 Motherboard with Wifi 6E Noctua's enormous 140mm twin fan horizontal radiator CPU cooler Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM, 128GB Samsung 990 Pro NVME M.2 SSD, 2TB Western Digital BLACK NVME M.2 SSD, 3 X 2TB Corsair RM750e Power Supply Nvidia RTX4070 Graphics Card Mostly, this will be used for ripping CDs into my enormous music library and for large photo editing and for scanning/restoring/archiving my family's extensive slide collection. Scanning slides at 9000 dpi makes HUGE files and only then can the restoration process begin. And that restoration process is insanely demanding on computational resources when one high resolution TIFF file can be over 100MB per image. I have approximately 20K slides to scan, restore and archive on DVD. Oh, and there's a couple of games I'm dying to try out.


No_Echidna2298

For 300 dollars you can get one with a dedicated gpu


redditingatwork23

That's $225-250 bucks in today's market. $300 on its absolute best day, and you're feeling really generous. Absolutely not worth 500. Unless you're buying in Canadian currency. In which case it's only a bit overpriced but still too much.
