Hi all, looking for a bit of advice on a very budget gaming PC, solely for Last Epoch as I play all other games on PS5 Pro.

I had previously used GeForce Now for LE season 1 which was great and I subscribed to ultimate for around 3 months.

About to jump into the new season and thought I'd check marketplace to see what I might be able to get for sub $400.

I'd like to play on at least medium settings.

Does this sound like a good deal for $400 ?

Ryzen 5 3600x
Asus Turbo GTX 1070 8gb
16GB 3200mhz RAM
1TB m2 SSD
Corsair cx650 PSU
Micro ATX Antec Case

sometimes deals pop up with 4060s for another 2-300 more.

  It might be worth having a look on aliexpress for parts and building something. You can get a pretty decent build for cheap, pair it with a second hand gpu.

As above, you can do a lot better with a brand new pre-built - plus you dont have to deal with whatever problems a "well loved" second hand has

I did see Ali Express ads for GPU's & CPU's but immediately wrote them off as dodgy.

Are you saying they are genuine ?

  I have purchased a i7-7700k off of a reputable seller on aliexpress for over $300 less than what I would have paid here. It all comes down to making sure its a reputable seller with many transactions and many legitimate reviews on both the product you are looking to buy and also the other products they sell.

here's a new deal that's looks good for something to do the basics
