Hi, I need to upgrade my 8 year old pc…

https://ibb.co/sPHfBfj

2 options, buy a new pc from someone like techfast or similar online.

Or I can buy a 20 months old pc second hand (see specs)

I can buy the second hand pc for $1000

I appreciate all suggestions. thanks

    Depends on if your an enthusiast and you want a custom build. If it’s just for basic use then second hand is fine

    Thanks. Do you think $1000 for the specs (second hand one) is a good price?

      Nope, 9th gen i5 and GTX1060 is definitely not worth $1k second hand (or even brand new imo)

        yep, it will be ok for $500

          lmao you people are in fairy land if you think you can get that pc for $500

            @Jugganautx: Yeah, that would be a steal even second hand. I’d say $700-$800 is probably a fair price

    techfast i'd say 2060 and 3500x for 929.

    Just double check the specs of the techfast PC, make sure you are getting the size case you want, the amount of SATA ports you want, drive bays, etc. For most people they don't need any HDDs in their PCs anymore. But some of us do.
