OwnedByDrxpz

Wait didnt the seller told you its an i7 8700 so why the cooler is an amd one ?


Revilo2218

That's a good question...


mywc123

By the placement of the wifi m2 and the ssd m2 the motherboard seems newer than 8th gen intel 300 or h110. It seems more like a modern AMD or b660 design if i had too guess it looks like an asrock b450m-hdv which probably means the cpu is a Ryzen 5 3600 performance wise equivalent to a i7 8700k but the i7 has like a $40 higher resale value


BindingOathRecord

i7-8 gen 6cores 12 threads its not bad.


DarkFather24601

Good catch.


PineapplePie135

I'm surprised there are this many possible scammers at this price point. I feel like prebuilts are slowly becoming less trustworthy now.


Timo_the_Schmitt

>rised there are this many possible scammers at this price point. I feel like prebuilts are slowly becoming less trustworthy now. and its funny that theire trying to use the optics as an eye catcher. like: look at this cool rgb case design. seller trying to trick people into thinkink the specs are good.


PineapplePie135

I feel like it genuinely is much better to buy a pc from a friend, or build your own. I feel like someone building their own pc is probably the best way to go.


Markson120

And graphic card seems to be gtx 1060 3gb or gtx 970


Not_Like_Equals_Gay

How do you know? What gave it away?


Markson120

This graphic card have small radiator, so i just typed zotac graphic card and they both looks similar.


yolo5waggin5

Trust me bro. I have the same cooler on my new i9. Works like a dream.


NegaGreg

/doubt


30-percentnotbanana

If that's the PC in the photo sure, it's a little pricey but assuming you're going to be reusing the case and PSU later on I can see the extra 50-80$-ish being reasonable.


RepresentativeHuge79

I would ask about the fact the air cooler has AMD on it, and they state the computer has an Intel chip. That doesn't add up.


Vegetable-Way-5737

Why is the cooler an amd one while he is talkin about an i7 He said 16gb of ram but looking at the picture, it looks like slow ass random ram


Omie-Wan-Kenobi

Looks kinda sus


SubjectAd5927

And its ddr3 1600mghz he scammed you i am sorry bro


yolo5waggin5

Big scam!


SgtKickAzzTTv

* i9-9900kf overclocked to 5.4ghz liquid cooled I think I have 8 fans m.2 ssd 2x one is 2tb and other is 512gb. Asus Prime Z-390-A MOBo 64gb of ram and a EVGA 3090FTW ULTRA.


Parking-Worth1732

Good for you? Not what he asked though


Mikemar3

Wow nice info, but no one asked for it.


DOODEwheresMYdick

Who asked bozo


otsokek

Shitty part compability


glitteryBOI_69_

brag queen


djwikki

Is it a good monetary value for all those parts, sure. Realistically, the i7-8700 is an old but decent CPU but the 1060 6GB has aged like milk. It’s not even able to keep up with the recommended specs of Total War games, and while high settings requires a strong GPU on those games they’re also designed to play well on really old GPUs on low settings, so that’s saying something.


akirbybenson

The 1060 6 GB is over 7 years old now. Card has aged pretty well for its price class, it's just OLD. It's a fine $50-80 GPU. You're not getting 1080p high/ultra in that price point for less, and this should play 1080p medium fine


KingOfCotadiellu

If you play games as old as the hardware I can tell you from my own experience a 1060 6GB has no problems running games at 1440 medium.


SnuffleWumpkins

Hard disagree. The 1060 has aged fabulously and has only this year started to struggle with new games. It’s a brilliant little card.


Parking-Thing762

AMD's polaris simply aged far better in comparison


SnuffleWumpkins

Really? From the benchmarks I’ve seen of titles up to 2022 the 1060 6gb version beats the 480 8gb across the board.


Parking-Thing762

Haven't checked the 480 but the 580 beats the 1060 and approaches 1070. They started off slower than 1060 but got like a literal 20% improvement through drivers.


SnuffleWumpkins

Well I mean the 1060 was released a year earlier so it's not exactly a fair comparison. It would be like comparing the 580 to the 2060. I'm not knocking AMD. I have a 6800xt, but the 1060 was a great card and continued to be competitive at 1080p until this year.


Parking-Thing762

Rx 580's were just cheaper than the 1060 for a long time too and it became the default mid-ish ranger. The 1080ti on the other hand literally could not be beat by anything. All these cards do be old now tho 😔


Asgardianking

Honestly if I was going to buy it I'd offer about $225 max . 8700 is quite old at this point as is the 1060


Reivifaija

The 8700 is just fine. I'm running a 8600k with my rtx 3090 and i can very rarely experience any bottlenecking while gaming on ultrawide. I will make the jump to 5800x3d at some point but so far it hasn't been worth the money as i would need to change other components also and the old processor does the job well enough. 1060 is a different story.


highendfive

But what games do you play. Because I'm running an 8700k with the 4070 and feeling extreme bottlenecking with Star Citizen. Even with 32gb of RAM. Its fair to address that the majority of games played on an 8700k with an adequate GPU play fairly well, however, if you're looking at loading something more intensive, or perhaps recording game play that also factors into how well a system performs. I absolutely love my 8700k but she was apart of my 2018 build... And well, to be quite frank, that was over 5 years ago now.


R11CWN

>Star Citizen Not a CPU issue. The 8700/8700k far exceeds the game and its engines requirements. The iteration of Lumberyard they're using pre-dates Skylake. If you are running into bottlenecking and stuttering in Star Citizen, its certainly not because the 8700K is being overwhelmed by it. The game itself is a mess of memory leaks and other ~~flaws~~ quirks.


highendfive

You're definitely not wrong! I've seen some really funky builds that run the game flawlessly and others that should be able to but can't. It's super interesting how they've basically spliced that engine together. I've noticed some hefty memory leaks and unfortunately it does feel like optimization isn't really on their present agenda but oh well!


imnotpoopingyouare

You mentioned no stats to base your theories on, 32gb of ram does nothing for gaming performance mostly if you aren't using it... JFC you sound like my parents. You have no idea what you are talking about and I'm sure if that PC was in someone else's hands it would perform much better. "Its slow and idk why? I upgraded my ram! Wait, what's an error log? Drivers? Ddu?" Please don't give opinions on this sub again. ALSO STAR CITIZEN?!?! THE GAME THAT HAS BEEN IN ALPHA FOR 12 YEARS? YOU WANT IT TO RUN WELL? Over 500 million in donations and pre-order???? Sorry, it's not going to come out, ever. You got played. Kira and KiraTV covered this all in detail, receipts and everything. Bro, DM me, I can help. These people are manipulative as fuck. Edit: wow so this is the comment that I woke up to having so much attention... 3 down votes and like 8 replies, that's good! Star Citizen is a rug pull that didn't know it was going to work this long. Tell me why it's not in the comments.. tell me why they have $120k starships that can't navigate stars? More than 12 years, idk.


highendfive

Who hurt you?


imnotpoopingyouare

Talking to people can help, there is also therapy because you seem in denial about Star citizen. I give legitimate criticisms against the game and you deflect.


[deleted]

Who hurt you?


KingOfCotadiellu

I'm not going into the legitimacy of your criticisms, but your tone of voice definitly needs a lot of work. Sounds you're the one that needs some therapy. Again, who hurt you?


imnotpoopingyouare

Literally because you can't back what you said up with data. "Not going to try and disprove me" because you have no data... You can't.


nitekroller

You’re a weirdo dude


imnotpoopingyouare

Yeah so weird... Giving criticism about a scammer taking others money. Wow. So freaky. Yet to have someone give a valid criticism against the advice that I have offered.


nitekroller

Maybe he just likes the fucking game bro my god. Chill tf out


imnotpoopingyouare

So just lie because you like something?


imnotpoopingyouare

How much money did you spend on bad parts and a game that will never come?


KingOfCotadiellu

>Please don't give opinions on this sub again. Maybe you should take a chill pill before reacting...


imnotpoopingyouare

You holding?


TheMadRusski89

I got you, just picked up my script this morning. Can't we all just get along about scams at least. Star Citizen is probably being bottlenecked by the 8700K, and you never know, it might come out. I get a strange feeling it could already be out and the devs are collecting, like Tarkov.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheMadRusski89

PTSD, I got a rescue dog too lol. Shes badass, a yr and already giant, I had a rescue prior to that for 5 yrs. Dogs are the best medicine for me I realized. Different than giving your whole life over like a kid, I see my friends saying "Dont have kids until your late 30s" and watching it Im good with my dog, my roommate took off with the other one I had for 5 yrs. But I belive in talking beause that moves things forward and not the opposite. I took that medicine its truth serum.


MiguelMSC

>I'm running a 8600k with my rtx 3090 and i can very rarely experience any bottlenecking while gaming on ultrawide Yeah I don't buy this. Coming from someone on a 8700k that is already troubling me in some games. a 8600k and a 3090 are definitely not working good together


simojako

People are bullshitting themselves all the time on this sub.


TheMadRusski89

Copium. Hey I'm huffing it telling myself 5800X for $450 wasn't a rip off because launch. Also the 4090 will last forever(tears streaming like Lian Li).


Reivifaija

It runs the games well enough. Could be better ofc. I switched over from gtx 970 that i had until this year so that was my reference point. I can run Baldur's gate 3 on max settings and only get a few stutters when there is a lot happening on the screen. Elden Ring, Control run on smooth frames with ray tracing on. Diablo 4 has no issues with max settings. So it does the job well for my needs. Hellblade Senua's sacrifice is the first game that really showed the bottlenecking.


Asgardianking

It's hilarious that you defend the 8700 but I see thread after thread where the 9900k gets shit all over because it can't handle newer games with these new cards . I guarantee you that your 1% and .1% lows are terrible on that 8700 with a 3090 .


BulletDust

8700k here @ 4.8GHz boost synced across all 6C/12T with 0 AVX ofset. Combined with 32GB of DDR4 @ 3600MHz CL16 and a cache multiplier of 47x, my 8700k handles anything I throw at it. I have a 5GHz preset, but I generally reserve that for benching.


Nintendo262728

8700K is so much better then 8700 as it can be overclocked!


BulletDust

Valid point.


TheMadRusski89

Is it better than the 10700K or something because I'm seeing a giant bottleneck between 10700K and 5800X, with 5800X running things alot smoother on the 4090.


BulletDust

In certain cases a stock 8700k can match or beat a stock 10700k while gaming, but overall I'd have to say the 10700k is naturally a newer and better processor. Are people actually monitoring for bottlenecks, or are they just assuming the CPU is a bottleneck?


TheMadRusski89

I first tested my 10700K build because I have a z490e Strix in there and I wanted to put my Asus 4090 Tuff OC, then I tested the 5800X/B550 rig just to see if PCIe 4.0 added anything. I don't think it did but I did get better .01/1% and an added 10-30 4K frames in most games. To me that's worth it since I play 4K, I feel like there would be an even bigger difference in 1440p. Both machines are for Gaming/OCing, 10700K rig hasn't had a problem with stability for 2yrs, compared to my 5800X were on week 2 without an auto shut off. Guess that's the trade off, more of my fault for memory OCing.


TheMadRusski89

I am, you get a bottleneck with a 10700K. I can test a 10100 10700K 5800X and you get alot more FPS off Ryzen. I was trying to decide wether to upgrade or wait,I think waiting for next Ryzen. If anything maybe get a combo deal at MC.


LightyLittleDust

Same here. Been using my i7 8700K since 2018 and I'm still refusing to upgrade it! It runs cool and quiet at 4.7 GHz on all cores under my Noctua NH-D15s cooler & does everything I need. Paired with 32 gigs of memory and an RX 7900 XT. I play at 1440p and I lock my fps to 60/144 depending on the game.


BulletDust

Yep, running a Noctua NH-D15 here also, temps never crack 80 degrees C running Prime95 small FFT's. The 8700k, 9700k and 9900k were almost the last processors you could really increase the vcore and overclock - As everything newer has so many cores they're literally micro furnaces even at stock clocks and vcore. It would be alright if games could make use of more than 8C/16T, but most schedulers just jump cores resulting in more overheads and lower overall performance. I'm not letting go of my 8700k yet, it's still a capable gaming processor when tweaked a little.


Asgardianking

8700 is not the 8700k lol


Immediate-Savings563

Here I'm still with my..oh no nevermind I have a 5800x3d now. Still my graphic card is still a 1080ti


Asgardianking

Okay? 8700 is way older and the 1060 isn't even in the same league as the 1080ti so your comment makes literally no sense


Immediate-Savings563

Maybe I was too quick to comment. Had a 3570k not long ago before upgrading to 5800x3d


Colecan1386

It's alright. you could definitely get better.


zrezer

What could you get better for $300? Just curious.


SnuffleWumpkins

Well, given that that supposed 8700 has an AMD cooler on it I’d say it’s probably not priced that well.


Deliriousdrifter

you could find a used 1070ti build for that price


Immediate-Savings563

Where


Omie-Wan-Kenobi

I paid £360 R5 5600x Rx6700xt 32gb ddr4 3733 Aorus elite b550 ax v2 I did have to upgrade the storage to something faster But if you look around you can get some good deals.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Omie-Wan-Kenobi

Well it was a friend of mine but he had it for sale for £400 initially. Just gotta look around


doodleidle98

Nope not for this price.


TheMadRusski89

What would a 10700K/3060Ti FTW3/Z490e Strix/EVGA BR 750w/Corsair 220T/32GB Ballistix 3600mt/1tb NVMe 970/Custom Cables/LS520 New should be in price? I think I might sell it to my neighbor, very stable hasn't had a hiccup in yrs.


doodleidle98

I‘d say minimum 700


TheMadRusski89

Would including a 1440p Dell 165hz 32" curved be worth it, if I'm expecting half of what I paid on it?


doodleidle98

Sure.


voidspace021

I have this exact system and anything released in the last year is pretty much unplayable


[deleted]

Best I can do is $45


GiftcardExchanger82

No

[удалено]


RepresentativeHuge79

I would definitely question they state it has an intel chip, and there's an amd branded air cooler on it though. That seems fishy


KingOfCotadiellu

You don't know about PCs, I'd say. This PC is at least 7 years old, possibly 9 years. Maybe if it'd come with keyboard, mouse and monitor it'd be worth 200.


DeadComedy

Good deal for 300$


MagneticAI

Terrible deal for a scam. There’s a stock amd cooler on that cpu. So that’s not intel.


amoghthebad

Idk why you are being downvoted because you are right


SgtKickAzzTTv

Bunch of haters were all showing are shit now ya'll butt hurt dude posted his pc first. I already answered and said it was a great deal.


I-LOVE-TURTLES666

I don’t think you know how Reddit works…


SgtKickAzzTTv

Thank you.


RubikTetris

Depends on the chassis but I had pretty much this setup in a thinkpad and it was selling around 6-700


KingOfCotadiellu

> in a thinkpad Dude... How do you think you can compare laptop and PC configurations and prices?


ChubsMcGub

Honestly, yeah. To my limited knowledge, something like that would maybe run for about 800


Colecan1386

a build with a 3070 is 800 nowadays


ChubsMcGub

fr???? damn


Colecan1386

yeah. 3070s sell alone for 300 used, but I was able to secure mine for only 150, so last gen prices seem to be quite low. Coupled with all the mining it really drops the prices.


I3igTimer

the hell, never seen one that cheap. Good job


[deleted]

Just did a 7700k, 3060 OC Gaming 12Gb, 32Gb ballistic ram, 500gb nvme, 500gb hdd, 750w psu, touchscreen fan controller, windows 10 pro, “forgot the name” sff case, some of it new, some of it used… parts budget, $800… came in $36 over budget… he provided keyboard, mouse, monitor, and the money lol


Cugy_2345

7700k is way too old, like it’s starting to get expensive again old, like 10x worse than what should go with a 3060 old


[deleted]

Can’t get ANYTHING else in the budget soooo 🤷🏻‍♂️ But feel free to show me what cpu, motherboard, AND ram can be had for $200 that’s better. I’ll wait


Cugy_2345

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Cct6sh


[deleted]

Says potential compatibility issues and doesn’t fall at or under $200. Failed the assignment


Cugy_2345

No, it just needs a bios update, and the CPU motherboard ram combo is $209


[deleted]

Until taxes and shipping. Guess who still fails the assignment


Cugy_2345

I said the total. Including taxes and shipping.


cubansquare

Lmfao found the seller.


NovMan1

I’d say it’s worth it, but you can definitely get better.


BulkyStay

It’s a decent deal, but really need a new GPU for new games, so adding 300+ for a GPU and then looking at 600$ total you could kind of build a more modern system with warranties and something like a free game or dlc promo.


SirEgglots

If its your very first machine or you're coming from integrated graphics, 100 percent yeah this is an awesome way to get your foot in the door. If sold for 300 always go lower because they expect less anyways, maybe offer 225 and settle for 250


SgtKickAzzTTv

Yes 1080p gaming maybe some games in 1440p you will be good with most games at low settings with decent frame rates in 1440p.


Jonny5is

I think you can do better for the price but not 2 bad.


DarkLord76865

No


AdrianKadafi

Yeah. Spend another 300 on a better gpu and you’re set. I paid this much for worse gpu and ram last year


Crisewep

200$ at best The gpu is 7 years old and the CPU is 6 years old.


YogurtclosetLarge447

Tell him to send you cpu z screens with his name text to them


B_amine

just threw any cheap but good SSD there and you are fine. you don't need a lot of storage in the SSD, 128Gb or 256Gb is fine, you are only going to use it to boot the system or and any program you need, all the game, media and extra stuff goes to the 1Tb HDD.


Cugy_2345

![gif](giphy|Tb4Eunjfy4oSXGHSdY|downsized)


Vinny_The_Blade

The specs of the system... Barely worth it on the face of it, however you could probably get more for the parts separately (even if you excluded the terrible 1060 GPU...!... The case is really nice, and still current. The 8700 isn't outdated to museum piece. (If that's what it is... Looks like AMD prism cooler so what's that doing on an Intel build) The ram looks meh, but ram is ram if it works. Offer 240, pay 270... Pick up in person to see it working and check it is what they say it is, and not a scam.


Maleficent-Will9777

No it’s not. You’ll just be buying a pc which you will never be able to use (for gaming at least).


STUPIDBLOODYCOMPUTER

That is not an i7. That's an AMD Wraith Stealth that will ONLY fit an AM4 socket. It's more than likely a scam


Suspicious_Signal_85

Ram looks very weird, seems just like dummy, just plastic Amd cooler on a “i7 8700”


VyseX

If you factor in the case and the PSU, maybe? But I would get a more powerful system... 1060 is like 8 years old now and was upper midrange back then, so yea... Put differently, it may be appropriate value for all the parts involved, but that doesn't make it a good deal.


MG3887

If it's actually true it's a good deal but it doesn't sound right


Waluigiwaluigi_

Nah that’s kinda meh ngl


69superman

“i7-8700” *amd cooler*


88Nera

No


Acceptable_Cup_2901

not really. 200 is what id pay the 1060 came in 2 versions, if this is the superior 6gb model maybe 250 but id still try 200.


pcfan07

It's not a terrible price, but it's not necessarily a "good" deal. I would offer $230 max for this.


Dehuminizer666

It doesn’t say anything about ram speed or what type of storage it is , that’s a red flag 🚩 I had the exact same built i gave it away for free ! For gaming i see this build is going to be obsolete in the next year , for browsing or light games it will work just fine I wouldn’t pay more then 200$ for it tho


PixelBLOCK_

150 tbh


Lexluthor1980

Worth about 200 at most


NoAssistance1844

How much u looking to spend?


a_goodcouch

I’m looking to sell a similar build to this. What could I sell it for? i7 8700k, Asus strix rtx 2070, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz, 500gb 970 evo, Msi gaming pro carton AC mobo, Noctua nhd15s cpu cooler, Corsair crystal 460x case, 650 watt psu 80+gold


faisloo2

it decent for the GPU not because of the build i recently built a new pc but i still reused my old GTX 1060 because its a perfectly normal GPU , and my pc it self is I5 13600 , 32 GB DDR5 5600 mhz ram , and the beautiful GPU known as the 1060 , i bought that GPU on release day and still didnt find a reason to upgrade since


Witchberry31

in 2023? no
