This is a used pc i found online. My son wants a pc to play simple games like fortnite/roblox the likes. Is this good enough for him? Price is about 450$
Can’t speak on the Processor, but an RTX 2060 is still more than capable at running just about anything for 1080/1440p gaming. I’d say this PC would be fairly darn capable for your son.
In terms of pricing, I’ve got a similar build I’ve been looking to sell and hoping to ask around $500, so the price seems like it’s fair?

Eh, it might run word, but if you want to run power point you’re gonna need a 3080
Sincere3733
Yes.
Accomplished_Peak749
It’s fine.

$450 USD is very steep.
This is probably a dell precision 5810 or similar. Just based upon the power supply description.
I know a guy locally that sells better upgraded workstations than this for $300-$350. $450 is too much.

yes

Yep, looking good. Although single fan 2060 concerns me.

The cpu ain’t the fastest for gaming in high refresh rate but 120hz on Fortnite should be doable, in Roblox easily more, so I think you’re good and as a kid I would be super happy. If you start with a 1080p 120hz or higher monitor he should be happy and competitive especially against other kids on their 60hz laptops

Maybe I’m missing something. Why two 2060s? Two monitors? I made the mistake of buying a cheap 2nd graphics card to run a second monitor until someone mentioned I could just plug both into the same 3070 since it’s got multiple outputs.

Try to bargain for 400$ if you can but it’s good. Did a similar build for myself

My 2060 did me quite well at 1440. Dayz, call of duty, and overwatch ran quite well just to name a few.

That processor is about 10 years old, it’s probably fine as a basic PC but you should be able to get something newer and better for the money?
thisonegamer
It will be good starter pc
But i’d say its a bit overpriced, 400-420$ max
Also I am sure he will like this pc

When I was 11, my mom bought me a Compaq and I was so excited.
Damn kids and they’re RTX whatever’s.

Price is high for the mobo/CPU, a used AM4 system is worth looking at.
Id see what a used B450 MOBO + 3600/5600 CPU costs.

wait, hard disk SSD???
which one?!

If I remember correctly, it’s been a few years, that chip is similar to the i7-6700k. Yes, they are old and only have four cores and eight threads. But for the most part, they are capable of running games today decently. It will be a decently capable rig as the 2060 is a good pair to that processor. You don’t NEED a 7800x3d to run everything even though people will act like it.
The system will handle most games and perform decently at lower resolutions like 1080p.

Beware of the CPU. I had a Xeon workstation and I couldn’t install apex legend for example because the CPU wasn’t compatible, some component was missing…

Prices are always country-dependent. In you country this pc will cost $450 and in another country it’ll be $300. Check and compare prices in the used market, we can’t really help you with the price. In terms of performance iirc the 1620 v3 is equivalent to a 3rd-4th gen i7. Could be wrong though. Never heard of a 685w Dell PSU. Probably an upgraded prebuilt pc.

I never felt under privileged but after being on here I’m wondering if I am because at 11 I got the same laptop that I’m using today. i5-7200 with 8gb of ram and an intel 620 UHD

Wait…1T SSD?? Which model??
RapidMiner55
Price is too high for the parts
cszolee79
It is a 12 year old, 4-core CPU with 130W TDP.
A new, 65W TDP cheapest i3 is roughly 2x faster.
It is not worth anything.
ComplexSupermarket89
This is a $30 PC with a GPU and $30 SSD added
Eazy12345678
sure fine for kid. but it really old hardware. i dont think its worth $450. maybe$250- $300 max.

For the price look at HP Victus deals. This for $550 has a good base and upgrade ability .

Yeah, seems cute enough for school projects.
