Fair price for this build?

[APoc184]

Hi Guys

Haven't had a desktop in over 15 years now so totally out of touch.

Friend is selling his PC because he is in financial trouble.
And we are looking for a desktop for the kids at home.

Will mainly be used for homework and the one kid loves playing a game or two.
I will use it for some photo editing in Lightroom and probably indulge in a game or two because it is there.
Might set it up as a media player as well over time.

What would be a fair price for me to offer him.

Thanks guys

I would say R1500 max.

Check what games your kid likes. GPU is ancient.

R2k more than likely, but not really much more than that honestly.

Its almost a decade old card. CPU is okay I guess, but still old.

Personally I wouldnt want to spend money on this.

The GPU alone is worth a lot R3.5k brand new now although it is an older series.

True, the rest is alright, GPU is ancient and 1 stick of RAM in an AMD Ryzen 2600? How did they survive for 6 years? Also only being 8gigs??
So I'd purchase this for R1500, get a new GPU and more RAM

No one, in their right frame of mind will ever buy a 1050ti new when for that price you could get a 3050 new.

Unless the seller is a scammer, and the buyer does not know a single thing on tech

no man that's rude

offer him 2.5 to 3K - the 1050ti is old but will manage fortnite and the likes easy. I'm guessing thats what most of the kids are playing these days

You can always up the ram, GPU and even the CPU further down the line.

I would say between R2300 and R2500 depending on condition.

R1,500. R2,000 because it's a mate in trouble.

The owner before him was likely Moses, though it could have been Caeser as well. Check for rust and Roman spears.

What games? Tho either way you're probably going to need to upgrade it.

ok, offer R500 less or whatever the cost of another 8GB stick... its probably 2600Mhz so will be cheap cheap

Unfortunately not enough to help your friends financial trouble.

Check on Carb for something similar and compare.

My Ryzen 2600 had 3200mhz, hell my 1600af did as well.

lets wait and see if OP buys it.

A320... might have been a prebuilt or an evetech upgrade kit
