    Its a really good deal with the monitor just make sure it all works

  2. X3nox3s

    That‘s a pretty good deal. Friend brought a similar one for 2.000 a few months ago

  3. Aurex986

    Extremely good deal with a 144hz monitor!

    the whole description overreact is a red flag for me. If he was selling a legit pc+monitor with these specs for 1200$ (you can build a similar one brand new for ~2000$+ with current prices on pcpartpicker), he wouldn’t need to act like stupid.

    Sure you can check it (do it thoroughly) and make sure that the parts are on warranty (especially the gpu) and pull the trigger on it, but in my eyes this doesn’t look very promising… Something’s gotta be off.

  5. That’s a suspiciously good deal considering just the 7900 xtx and the ryzen 5 7600x is almost 1200 new.

  6. Davajita

    Very good price, hyperbolic silly descriptions of the components aside. Make sure it’s all legit and functional.

    Too be fair, that’s way too cheap for what you get. Either the seller have no freaking idea what he’s selling and ask chat gpt to write the descriptions or there’s a catch, if so run away.

    If something is too good to be true that’s probably because it is. Also that advertisement screams scammer and red flag.

  9. It’s hard for me to believe reports about ChatGPT succeeding in the Turing test when you can see at the first glance that text like this is AI generated.

    my only concern is the aio

    so idk the heat generation of 7600x ive just never seen a successful 120aio lol ive only seen people complaining about the temps when using 120aio but i mean if you but it and it runs hot and then you buy a 360aio….. youd still have a good deal on your hands lol

    Only thing bothering me is 120mm AIO cooler.

  12. Majestic_Ad_29

    Did anybody notice the fucking 120 mm water-cooler

  13. disastercat_

    If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

  14. TextDeletd

    Maybe check on some specs like ram latency or PSU rating, and yeah if it’s real it’s a good deal so make sure it’s legit

    If anyone sees this I’ll go check it out if they reply , they seem like a middle aged woman based on post history. So I’m thinking they don’t know much about pc’s and is selling a son’s or husband’s pc.

    I live in a save area so I doubt I’ll get robbed.

    I appreciate all the advice from you wizards as I’m new and still learning.

    Honestly the only game I’m currently playing is Minecraft and I wanna play Java with hella mods and shaders.(very cpu intensive)

    I have been conditioned to believe paragraphs starting with emojis are fronts for scams and/or knockoffs.

  17. penatbater

    Even if the parts were worth the value, I wouldn’t touch this from the way they describe each part. Gives me the ick idk

  18. Warband420

    If they let you check it out in person then it’s a great deal, just be careful

  19. TheOneTrueBobster

    Wait does that say a 120mm AIO?

  20. IlIlllIlllIlIIllI

    That graphics card is about 1000 new on its own, I would buy it just for that.

  21. Alarmed-Adeptness859

    The emoji lmao

    Although if you can buy in person and test it’s a pretty great deal

  22. legend_9301

    If it was real it would have been sold within an hour.

  23. Gaming09

    Using emojis in descriptions is frustratingly cringey

  24. TorturedPoet03

    It’s written in a suspicious way. But aside from that, all’s good. It’s worth the money.

  25. shadydamamba

    Where are the pics. Is there a video of it running? And where from??

  26. Synergiance

    120mm aio cooler ruins the deal. That’s tiny.

  27. Sigillum_Dei

    I wouldn’t trust it. If it’s a meet up don’t go alone it might be a setup to rob you. But it’s a damn good surprise but by the choice of words and price it seems like a scam

  28. Awesome_coder1203

    Overall this listing looks super sus… I wouldn’t risk it

  29. superamigo987

    The descriptions are stupid and lively AI generated, but if the parts are as advertised and worth, it’s a good deal

  30. thelethalmenace

    Nah that’s sketch.

    1. Why would you pair a card like the 7900 XTX with a CPU like a 7600X? 8 core CPU would be better with it (at least). CPU would be a limiting factor at some point. I’d recommend at least a 7700 or 7700X.

    2. Price for it indicates a good deal (1200 for a build + monitor on a build that would normally be like 1500 to 1800). HOWEVER that’s why I’m sketched out. Why include a monitor as well with a build like that for that cheap? I feel like there’s corners cut or something isn’t working like it should.

    3. 1000w is wayyy too much for that build. Max power draw is around 550 to 600 you’d want a 850w really. Not much of a need to go past the 2x mark for power nowadays as most PSUs are rated well enough for it. Really only around 1.5 is good as long as there’s some headroom.

    Double check to make sure everything works if you go with it, then upgrade the CPU at some point. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL

    I’d look elsewhere honestly. Red flags all around.

    All my opinion based on experience hope this helps.

  31. JsHolyDiver

    That’s a fantastic deal, probably too good of a deal to be honest. The 7900xtx goes for 900-1000 alone brand new. With everything else it is approaching 1600 to 1700 brand new. He’s giving you a 400 dollar discount plus a monitor.

    Something has to be wrong with it. That thing was pulled off the ocean gate sub or something lol.

    windows 11 designed to maximise performance 😳

  33. OFDMsteve

    The ad itself and the price it’s being sold at is suspicious as hell.

    That being said, if it’s legit that’s an incredible deal and I’d buy it immediately even though I don’t need it.

  34. fuzzytomatohead

    i can’t say much about the price, but the paragraph for every component is sus. 

    more importantly: that 120mm aio might not be enough. second, that 1tb drive is gonna full up REALLY fast.

  35. OG_Dadditor

    Would this be a local purchase and would you have a chance to inspect it and test it before you buy it?
