I'm looking for a gaming/office PC under $1000.

I’ve seen some deals pop up on OzBargain occasionally (e.g., Nebula PC). Are those generally good options to go for, or do you have any advice or things I should look out for?

Thanks in advance!

  gaming/office PC under $1000.

  I use a refurb Dell 9020… I think I paid around $200 for it…

    Hopefully your Dell 9020 can handle Pie in the Sky

      That's not a Dell 9020 SFF

  I'd spend an extra $388 to get something like this:

  Looks like a big upgrade from the <$1000 deals due to the better GPU. Haven't ordered anything from this seller though.

    Best place to buy gaming PC used? Scrolling through Facebook Marketplace and some of the prices there are ridiculous. Not sure whether you can get a bargain without massive low balling.

      With the low budget of the op, yes, they will get more for that money if they buy used (assuming they know what they are buying)
