I've negotiated $700 for this used PC on gumtree and was wondering if it was a good deal.

These are the specs:

i5 10400f (water cooled)
16gb 3000mhz
Silverstone 650w psu
H470 itx pro ax motherboard
WD 500GB ssd
Gtx 980ti

Thanks in advance!

Seems like a pretty good deal. If it's in good condition and it matches your needs, I would say it is worth buying.

Yes, run a couple stress tests to check stability.

  will the seller allow him to do it with the risk of breaking it?
  
  I would use (disclaimer: use these at your own risk, they can damage the PC);
  1. GPU: Superpositionbenchmark while monitoring with GPU-Z
  2. CPU: wPrime

  Yep, AIDA64 all the way, pass mark could be ideal. I had a free one that stressed my GPU recently and I ended up diagnosing the PSU was faulty

    Why not use the money for water cooler to upgrade the CPU?

Yeah that's decent, about $1000 worth of parts if you were to buy new.

If you can stress test it, sure. Make sure it’s clear of dust and if it passes it’s benchmarks it’s fine

I'd just buy new. A newer chip with stock cooling will run faster.
