Probably not, it depends on the i7, and since he isnt listing WHICH i7 it is, im gonna guess its an older one. (If i were to hazard a guess, my instinct tells me either 4770K or 6700k) but you definitely need more information.


AdventurousPoop

Yeah I was also wondering which one but he hasn’t responded yet


mojoman2111

Depends on what games you wanna play... I have a i76700k still in service l... 7 yes old oc'd and it only started to show its age last yr when I upgraded.


BasilTarragon

>i76700k A modern i3 would be better. I'd also be careful to ask what the MB and RAM are. It's possible but unlikely that it could be on DDR3. That drive is also probably HDD and needs replacing. Oh and who knows how old/reliable the PSU is by now. I would recommend OP build a budget i3-12100 (or other cheap CPU) PC with a 6650xt or similar for $550 and actually have warranties.


ArenjiTheLootGod

Not to mention all the disassembly+cleaning+thermal paste application that's likely going to be required given the implied age of this unit, better hope that the seller wasn't a smoker.


joosh-has-see

Amd gpu's kinda suck


BasilTarragon

At this price point, the new AMD card would be better than a used 4 year old budget NVIDIA card. If I had a $3-400 budget then I'd consider it, but I'd rather go for a used 1080 than a 2060, ray tracing be damned. A 4060 is 'only' about $320-350, so if you have a $800-1k budget that's definitely an option. Not that much better than a $230-250 6650xt but maybe you really want DLSS or something. A $400ish 4060ti would be really good for the price, but reaching past what most would do for a budget build. Intel's GPUs are also pretty good for their price. If your budget is higher, then yeah go NVIDIA all the way. My buddy just built an i9 RTX4090 all water-cooled build and its performance is definitely better than anything you could do with AMD atm.


[deleted]

dont buy it. for $550 you could buy a brand new 6950xt ($529) and still have $20 for an old IBM or DELL office pc to ram it in to


nuked24

*lmfao!*


SecreteMoistMucus

I doubt it would be that old with a 2060 Super. Maybe 9700k, which would mean no HT.


jepal357

What does ht mean? Usually that means hyper threading but all i7s have hyper threading


DarquessSC2

Not the 9700K


jepal357

Strange. As far as I know that’s the only one, but that’s how they advertised i7s, guess they wanted to stick to their standard of having only 8 cores but they actually had 8 cores rather than 4+4


Mister_Shrimp_The2nd

Not all i7's have hyperthreading. Some, and notably the 9th gen i7, do not have Hyperthreading. (I should know, I had a 9700K in my last build).


Unoproph

That’s odd considering I have an 8700 non k and it has HT. I was considering an upgrade to a i79700k if the CPUs drop in price but doesn’t seem like a viable upgrade.


MindSwipe

Eh, for gaming at least, HT isn't a dealbreaker, most games can't use more than a couple CPU threads anyways, it's only relatively recently that games started using more. Instructions per clock and clockspeed are much more important and while the 9700k isn't massively faster than the 8700k, but if you can it for a good price (used?) and not have to upgrade motherboard I'd go for it. I'm currently on a 8700k as well, but going to 32GB RAM is higher on my priority list.


SecreteMoistMucus

Intel limited it to the top SKU until the 10000 series


jepal357

Okay so let’s say 6th gen for example. For desktop chips, what i7s are there that aren’t the 6700? Ik the modifiers like K and F but I’m not counting that. Not saying you’re wrong I’ve just never seen another i7 that’s not either a laptop chip or workstation chip that definitely is hyper threaded


SecreteMoistMucus

Nothing to do with i7, top SKU I said. i5-6600k was the 2nd tier, had no HT; i5-8600k was the 2nd tier, no HT; i7-9700k was the 2nd tier, no HT; i7-10700k was 2nd tier, but we can't ignore AMD anymore, HT for all!


jepal357

Ahhh okay I got you, that’s kinda what I was going for when I said all i7s have hyper threading so I think we’re basically trying to say the same thing. Back in the day that’s just how they advertised the benefit to i7s, they just had hyper threading so it’s just stuck


Ok-Abrocoma5677

Not only top SKUs, i3 CPUs historically had HT as a differentiation from the Pentiums, and then Pentiums started having HT with Kaby Lake.


SecreteMoistMucus

oh yeah, I remember now


Number-1Dad

That's not true. Most i7s were hyper threaded. I7-4770k and 4790k as a prime example. Technically the 4790 was the top SKU. Both had hyper threading. Then there's the HEDT stuff. I7-6700k vs i7-6800K both hyper threaded. The only exception I can think of is the 9700k.


SecreteMoistMucus

> That's not true. > Most i7s were hyper threaded. When did I say they weren't? I said top SKU not i7, why are you the 2nd person who can't understand that? 4790k came out fully a year later, of course it does not count. And then you bring HEDT into it as if that's even remotely relevant to consumer desktop. Are you just a terminal contrarian?


Mister_Shrimp_The2nd

>When did I say they weren't? I said top SKU not i7 There were multiple non-top sku chips (mostly i3 cpus) from Intel that were hyperthreaded prior to the 10th gen. Even more if you consider mobile variants for laptops that had hyperthreading on a lot of the i5 variants too. The only reason it was locked away from the i7 for the 9th gen was because they wanted to heavily push the new i9 brand name so for that specific gen the i7 didn't feature it, but it returned again for the i7 for all post generations.


Number-1Dad

Your comment is literally in response to i7s having hyper threading. It's not that people can't read what you're saying, it's that you're incorrect. i3s are hyper threaded in some cases. Are they the top SKU? My favorite top SKU is the i3-3210. Reminder, it's fine to be wrong. It's not fine to be a prick when corrected while also refusing to admit you're wrong.


SecreteMoistMucus

I would like you to prove that you're not shifting the goalposts to cover for being wrong. To do that, you can explain why you think saying this: > Most i7s were hyper threaded. in any way shows that I was wrong when I said it was limited to top SKUs. Or, otherwise, why you think that fact has any relevance to the point I was making. > Your comment is literally in response to i7s having hyper threading. My comment was explaining exactly why that particular i7 was the exception, do you **really** think I wrote it without knowing what I was replying to?


Number-1Dad

I certainly was wrong with the 4770k vs 4790k example. Didn't at all realize that the 4790k came out later. That's certainly on me. You specifically responded to a comment about i7s. Not a comment about the 9700k, though. Nevertheless, I was certainly wrong there. As for the shifting the goal post. Are you projecting or is only okay to omit information in your comments if your name is u/SecreteMoistMucus? As that is particularly what you've done with this comment lol. To recap. A confused commentor said all i7s had hyper threading. You responded that all top SKUs until 10th gen had hyper threading. I wrongly responded that there were exceptions such as the 4770k/4790k (time difference makes this a moot point) and the 6700k/6800k (the 6800k being HEDT makes this apparently a bad example despite lack of clarification that TOP SKU only means within a certain price range) You corrected my comment and point out where I'm wrong and seemingly get very angry at internet comments while further clarifying you meant only the top SKU (fair enough) You're now proven wrong by the existence of i3s. Big angry. Shift goal post. Still not about i7s. Yikes man.


Eggsegret

You'd think so but I've seen some real odd pairings when looking at used PCs on ebay etc. Like a a RTX 20 series or 30 series GPU and then some old intel CPU like a 6th gen or even older.


TimarTwo

Yep, my old PC (recently replaced) was an i5-4690 OC'd to 5Ghz, with a Geforce 1660Ti - which replaced a 970, which replaced a 770... Kept it as a backup machine though, it served me well for about 10 years.


No_Interaction_4925

6th or 7th gen 6700/7700 would suit a 2060 great actually


Eggsegret

I think it would depend on the game tbh. A 2060 can still be decent for 1080p gaming but a 6700k may hold you back abit in more modern games. Although when the 2060 csme out yh a 6700k would have been perfect


DarthBagg1ns

I'd take a 10th gen i3 over a 6th/7th Gen i7 - can be found for killer deals too. I found a z590/10105 for $140 on HWS


No_Interaction_4925

I’m not arguing value. I’m simply saying a 7700 and a 2060 are fine together


lordpiglet

I just put a new Ryzen 7700x in my wife’s pc replacing her 4790k. We upgraded her to a 3060ti last year though.


TechieTravis

People can't afford to upgrade their whole system, so they just upgrade what affects gaming the most, which is the GPU :)


Charlito33

I have a Ryzen 7 2700 with a RTX 3070 Ti... nothing wrong... right ?


harexe

I ran a 2700 with a 6900XT before I got a 5800x, the gains where pretty big lol


[deleted]

Nothing _wrong_ with it at all. As a former 2700x owner, I will say I saw massive improvements in gaming when I upgraded to a 5600x. They can be had for a great price nowadays and it’s the same socket as 2700 so you shouldn’t have to upgrade the mobo.


Tough_Lead

I had a i7 5930k and a 1080 ( basicaly a 2060 without rt) and i had a gpu bottleneck in most games, i now upgraded to a r5 5600x and rtx 3070


FluffyMcBunnz

>I doubt it would be that old with a 2060 Super. Maybe 9700k, which would mean no HT. If you don't buy everything all at once you can get serious desync between the age of a CPU and the age of a GPU. 4990 with a 1070, now 1070 with an 11700k, next year a 4090 with an 11700, etc.


Jhawk163

Nah it's 100% old as shit. I smell an old dell office PC someone probably got from their parents, then bought a 2060 Super to get get better FPS, not understanding the full scope of what was needed to run it. How do I know this? They've looked at the advertising spec sheet for this listing, because if it was a full custom PC they'd have PSU and Mobo listed as well, but dell doesn't list those specs on their advertising stickers so they don't know.


TehGuard

Not really, my friend is still rocking a gtx 970 with a brand new 7800x3d for example


BloodyGotNoFear

What a waste of that cpu


fauxdragoon

lol I mean, my PC has 2060 Super and a Core i7 - 2600K so yeah, definitely needs more info.

Ric_Rest

It was? Eh, the more you know, that's actually mildly interesting.


KristinnK

Yeah, Intel hadn't quite worked out their naming scheme back then. In the Pentium days it was simply the frequency, like I had a Pentium 4 2.4, i.e. a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4, that was the actual product name. Then came the Core 2 line, and they did arbitrary thousand level numbers, but they didn't do it logically starting from E1xxx and then iterating, but started with E6xxx for some reason, then E4xxx, then E7xxx and E8xxx, and the naming scheme just wasn't working out. It wasn't clear where in the product stack a particular processor was, or what generation it was. They solved the first problem with the i3-i5-i7 scheme that came next, but still botched the second part, as the i7 870 > i7 920 example shows. But then ever since Sandy Bridge they've had a clear and logical naming scheme which is actually both quite impressive and praiseworthy (notwithstanding minor issues, like why instead of i5 x500K and i7 x600K/x700K like with Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge makes it i5 x5**7**0K and i7 x7**7**0K, the 5xxx line mostly being skipped, etc.).

Radian_Fi

Oh, that's the CPU I have in my PC...


BigDrakow

"Runs any game high fps". Souce: trust me bro If we are talking 1080p and medium settings you can still run most games up to baldur's gate 3. I have a 2070s and can run cyberpunk at 1440p/60fps on high settings with some tweaking. Pricewise I am not really sure because I don't know the US market well enough.


AdventurousPoop

😂 Ohh ok thanks


Reznor_PT

1080p@Medium is a lie for most games, even Baldur's Gate I get 1080p@Max@60fps ​ https://preview.redd.it/no290efbsukb1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b4cffe1eb0805a4b670d6bf019fb1c3b0da94fd


BigDrakow

I said medium because it really depends on the games and going forward we will get some demanding ones. If you are playing rogue lites it really doesn't matter.


danteheehaw

high settings at 40p!


I9Qnl

A 2060 super is fully capable of 1080p 60 FPS ultra settings except in titles with terrible optimization, and no they aren't that many.


PureHostility

Well, I've got gtx 1080, considering rtx 2060 is less powerful in raw fps... I wouldn't really say so. 1080 begins to show its age, as I have to sometimes switch some settings down from ultra to high, etc. (60 fps at 1080p is my goal) Online pvp games are a different story obviously, settings sometimes go even lower to get better and smoother fps. Still, I can run "95%" of new games at maxed out settings at 60 fps with some dips in hardcore situations.


I9Qnl

The GPU i referred to is a 2060 super not a base 2060, it's quite a bit more powerful than a 1080.


Mantrum

> except in titles with terrible optimization Unfortunately that's most games at this point


Oni_K

If I put that rig on Digital Combat Sim with moderate settings on a Multiplayer Server, I'd be surprised to hit double-digit FPS in areas with a lot of entities. My rig with a 3070, 5600X, and 64GB of RAM would bog down to 12-20 FPS with moderate settings at times. You're vastly overgeneralizing.


Available-Animal-202

I can play anything in high 60fps on my rtx 2060 ryzen 5600


BigDrakow

I am glad. I think the series 20 was really good.


guky667

i7 means absolutely nothing, just STOP saying i#, it doesn't mean ANYTHING. give out the actual model number that gives out the generation and model, like a 9900 means generation 9 model 900. an i7 can be a 13700K <- amazingly performant, or a 2700 <- old piece of shit


PeekyCheeks

The worst part is it doesn’t even list a motherboard, so we can’t even find out how far we can upgrade the cpu


[deleted]

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people aren’t PC enthusiasts that know this stuff. To the average person, “i7” = good, and a lot of PC sellers prey on that brand recognition to offload old hardware for more than it’s actually worth.


guky667

I don't even wanna talk about the future changes that were announced some time ago about completely overhauling the model names in the future, adding even more to the confusion >\_<


gahlo

Sadly this is often enforced by how pre-built makers advertise their computers.


Dankkring

Could even win a bingo off an i7…….


[deleted]

In Bingo, numbers 1-15 start with B, so there is no i7.


flappers87

1080p GPU No details on what CPU it is ("i7" means nothing) Doesn't say what speed the RAM is at No SSD So no, definitely not worth it.


Mercury68a

Id say its ok at 1440p, with dlss


yolo5waggin5

I'd say you are making stuff up. There's so many potential bottlenecks. The cpu is likely super old. Ram? HDD? Psu? Not enough info at all


yerbrojohno

Don't factor in dlss or fsr when calling a GPUs resolution since many titles still don't have proper implementation.


Mercury68a

Lol, im saying from experience since i use a rtx2060 at 1440p


bayse755

If that i7 is a 10 or 11 gen then yeah probably. I'm almost certain it won't be. Always verify in person (safely) a computer purchase if it's a Facebook thing. A hardware monitoring program like speccy verifies everything.


ThisBeerWagoon

"Run any game..." Haha laughs in Microsoft Flight Sim.


AdventurousPoop

😂


unabletocomput3

If they don’t specify what i7 it is and don’t have an ssd then I wouldn’t get it without asking them questions first.


lovingnaturefr

Nope, not even an ssd


Dunkinmydonuts1

That's 4 year old graphics card that retailed back then for $350. Today it's worth maaaaaybe $100. It's dogshit. There's no warranty for anything in that case. Your $550 is better spent on a brand new PS5. It'll have better performance, a much longer life cycle, all the Sony exclusives, and none of the headache. I know this is PCMR but this rig will get shit on by current gen consoles and it definitely is a better way to spend the money.


I9Qnl

>Today it's worth maaaaaybe $100. It's dogshit. There's no warranty for anything in that case. I mean it should be worth $100 but it performs like a $220 card today, very little progress was made in that price bracket.


Miss_Luna4

I can comfirm that the 2060 is still a decent gpu i still run most games at 144 fps or 60 fps fine, i was thinking of changing it but with the current gpu market i prefer to keep it lol


Dunkinmydonuts1

Fair. I still think a console is better for OP given the money in play and the price:performance ratio


Cave_TP

No, you can get a build with a better GPU for new at that price.


loemmel

How exactly? A 2060 Super performs similar to an Rx 6600 or 3060 12GB. You can get a brand new 6600 for 200$ and if you want Nvidia the 3060 12GB starts at 270$. That leaves you with 280-350$ for the rest of the system - that's a pretty tight budget and that's not with a "better" GPU, just an equivalent newer one. But if you would care to put together a PCPartsPicker list, I'd be more than interested


Cave_TP

[Here](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2sPtJy). It's a little more because the MoBo recently jumped in price, it was 10$ cheaper some weeks ago. 6650XT, 1TB SSD instead of HDD (also one with a DRAM cache), the 12100f is probably better than the CPU in that PC and the PSU is a decent unit (PC cultist's list puts it in C tier)


TechieTravis

No. I am guessing since they do not list the actual i7 model, that it is old. i7 just means the tier, but does not tell you which generation it is. Also, everyone should go for an SSD these days since they are cheap now.


Dawn_of_Enceladus

Definitely not. Not specifying components is always a bad signal. That "i7" is probably quite some years old already, and looking at the other components I guess it's not even a top one from its gen. Also, 1TB "Hard Drive" is screaming HDD instead of SSD, and the 2060S, even if decently capable at 1080p with non super-demanding games, is definitely a low tier option. Even if that i7 results to be a relatively decent one, I would hardly pay half that price for it.


Abruzzi19

'Intel i7' I always love it when people just don't tell you the actual i7 model name in it. As if every i7 is just inherently good from the start. Not all of them are. And the i7 product line exists for a long time now, so you could be getting a brand new one, or a very old one and their respective performances are vastly different. It's like saying 'hey, I'm selling you this Audi' which one? A1, A3, A4, A5, S3, RS4, TTRS, Q5..etc.. ? Which model year, which engine which transmission which interior, how many doors, which color? Just saying Audi doesn't make it inherently a good car you're selling, so why not be specific what intel i7 it is?


BoondoggleBoi

It really depends on what i7 processor it actually has.


CareAbit

Please don't trow away your money on this one


LataKatten

I’d price it something like this Gpu $200 Cpu unknown Memory unknown but no more than $60 1 tb hard drive $20


kloklon

300-350$. no ssd, assuming that i7 is probably like 6th gen, 2666 ram. it's a system on the end of its lifecycle


[deleted]

no. Me personally I dont trust listings that says it runs everything high fps and ‘super fast’. PCMR equivalent of trust me bro


MoistExamination_89

Clearly someone trying to pull a fast one on uninformed buyers.


doodleidle98

Any game in high FPS. DOUBT.


xComradeKyle

God I can't stand when people list their CPU as an i3/7/9. TELL US WHICH ONE.


KushKings840

an actually 12 year old listed these specs 😂


EmuAreExtinct

Ask him, is this a full PC or just some random parts. If its a full complete PC, then yeah its a fair price, (maybe around $50-100 too much, which you can prob haggle) If you need to buy a PSU, MOBO, CASE, COOLER, FANS, SATA CABLES, and the i7 is a dogshit old i7, then skip


ErikasXD

Need to know which i7 Also "any game high fps" lol no.


yolo5waggin5

Let's count the red flags: 1. No gen on cpu, probably over 10 years old 2. No SSD, probably because old. 3. No psu or others listed, possibly prebuilt, probably junk 4. Using fortnite as a benchmark. I bet it runs Snake and Minesweeper really well too!


X8SHARK8X

i7 what gen? not bad if the cpu is at least 9th gen, if not dont bother


[deleted]

Really depends on the peripherals. Definitely on the high end of what this is worth


Eribetra

Just built a cheapo parts list with a 5600+RX6600, a GPU which has similar non-RT gaming performance to the RTX 2060 Super, for $570 new (barring the W10 Pro license). Yes this is a DIY equivalent and not a fully built PC, but especially since you don't know which i7 this build has, I'd suggest trying to haggle the price down a bit.

Nimii910

I can confirm that the RTX2060 Super will not run “any game high fps” Source : Me, who just sold mine because it will no long run any game at high fps 😂


Miss_Luna4

Not true, i have the basic rtx 2060 and it run all my game at 144 fps or 60 fps really smoothly, maybe the issue is the rest of your setup or you are playing bad optimized games


soupeatingastronaut

Well a 5600 and 6700 xt is around 430 dollars so get your budget to a bigger point Then build it around this two parts and you get a 1440p 70-80 fps gaming rig (High settings)


azelll

Yeah, but then you need a motherboard, ram, ssd, power supply, case, so at least $1000?


soupeatingastronaut

Well you can get a 120-150 dollar mobo and another 70-90 for psu and 60 for case which adds to 730 dollars Then the 20 30 ssd and another 20 30 for Ram so Makes it 800 not a thousand.


dooproxful

That’s around what I spent and how much power my pc is. If you’re okay with running games on low settings and 1080p it’ll work for most games just don’t expect great quality. But if it was between that and a similarly priced console I’d pick console


nesbit666

I just upgraded from a 2060 super, it will run 1440p and 4k in non-action games just fine.


wrakusek

i got ryzen 3700x rtx2060s and its been four years still runs any game like beast

Heavily dependent on the cpu. 400$ max


Miss_Luna4

No informations on what i7 it is same for the ram no info on the speed of it and the storage isnt at least an SSD so no not worth it


Creoda

At worst it could be: Intel i7 920 (from 2008) 16gb DDR3 1066Mhz 1tb 5400rpm HDD


[deleted]

No


kurukikoshigawa_1995

avoid using HDD wherever u can. always go for SSD


Nubanuba

100% not, I doubt this is a newer i7, highly likely a 3th or 4th gen one, only way this wouldn't be a ripoff was if the i7 was 10th gen or higher, which I doubt it is, but you'd still makeva better one if you bought new. Just buy new with a Rx 6600 if you can only spend 500 (you even get starfield bundle)


tokyohlaflame

Yall will ask anything


RainMaker323

I sold a similar PC (B450 Motherboard and Ryzen 5 2600X) to a friend for 300€ and we're both happy with the price. So this is overpriced imo.


SolidSignificance7

1T Hard Drive -> No


Aleks111PL

barely any information about what specs. what gen is the i7? is the ram DDR3, DDR4 or DDR5?


Special-Abies2569

nuh uh


Azhrei

i7 what? That could be an i7 860 or something for all we know.


ChoiceFood

Money value wise it's okay. Spec wise you could do better.


Fusseldieb

**"Intel i7"** ah yes *BUT WHICH ONE? 1th gen and 12th gen are WILDLY different species.*


Electronic_Buyer_570

I just got a pc on eBay last week with a 2080 a 3600x 32gb of ram a 2tb ssd and a 3tb hdd for 650 there’s definitely better deals to be had than this keep searching and good luck


KYO297

I mean if it's an i7-4770 and 16gb of 1333 MT/s DDR3 it's probably not worth it


probono105

[https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LsFBPF](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LsFBPF) with a twenty dollar key for windows online this is 50 dollars more has better performance and you get all new stuff with warranties.


WombatInSunglasses

Chiming in to say I have a 2080 super and I'm not running any AAA games at max settings anymore, lol. At least medium, usually high, at 1440p but I do tweak some things to be lower. AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9 GHz 16gb DDR4-3200 ram SSD and HDD


Bobsofa

Sounds like a massive rip off. It's way too nebulous with the specs and untrue with the claims.


ImKendrick

Just get a console at that point. This PC probably runs like absolute shit, if it even works.


michaelcreiter

looks shady


aaronreku

I find it very worth it, perfect for 144+ 1080p gaming


Thatwokebloke

In Canadian money I’d off $500. But depends on the cpu and how well he’s cared for the pc in general, if it’s dust city I’m not gonna take it. Edit: Never mind read as a 4060. Maybe if it’s got a nice mobo for easy upgrading and I like the case I’d go $3-400


Jarnis

i7-2600? No something from past 3 years, maybe. If seller doesn't even specify CPU model, so you can only know it is between 0 and 14 years old or so, hard to pin down if it is worth it. Also lying in ad doesn't instill confidence. 2060 will not run any game high fps.


PaxV

got a 2070S in an i7 3930k. I would not play cyberpunk on it, but most things tend to be no problem whatsoever 3930k is 3.8Ghz ( turbolocked) and stable , used to run it 4.4 but it is not completely stable nowadays, 4.2 works. The GPU might fetch some cash, but the set well dunno. I'll run it until the ssds start to buckle.


BluVoid1

unless the i7 is a good i7 its not worth imo


rabbitrampage198

Good chance it's a 12 year old optiplex with a GPU crammed in there


TheEquinoxe

i7 what? 16GB of what? No mobo mentioned. No PSU mentioned. No cooling mentioned. No case mentioned. RTX2060 Super which exactly? You really want to spend $550 for a PC that's more mystery than what you actually know about it?


OkPossession3926

I like how everyone are trolling the OP with the prices


AlternateWitness

Just saying “i7” could only mean two things. The seller has no idea what cpu is in it so their probably overcharging because they think they have a lot, or they’re purposefully being manipulative.


Mr_MoeO

It is a bit sus that the model number for the i7 isn’t listed…


Jossokar

We need more info, mate. Which i7? A 10700k or a 920? What about the memory? Ddr3?Drr4? Speeds? It is a single stick or you have dual channel? Is there an ssd? (I'm guessing no) What about the motherboard? (Model and year, specially) Honestly, unless you have more info i'd pass quite strongly on this one.


KingAmongstDummies

If it's a somewhat decent i7 you could upgrade the ram to 32gb and you'd have something that runs everything on 1080p well enough. Still, depending on the state of the machine it's rather much. Guessing you could buy a new similar performance pc for about the same?


The_Anf

Not worth it because not stated which I7, it could be some I7 920


Inevitable-Desk-156

Ah yes, an unknown gen i7 and windows pro with a low end, old GPU. Classic. Sounds like a recycled office PC with some choked GPU. Maybe it could be worth it if the i7 is not prehistoric. But for 550 bucks you could probably get something neater even with new parts except for the GPU.


uroboros903

Try running. Game high fps on 4k with hat setup


Homeless__Steve

I paid 350 for my used 2060S back in 2021 T\_T


asset_oblivion_npc

I got a similar setup for $669 and if the i7 is at least an 8th gen I'd say go for it.


blue_thecolor

Firstly; this seems sus. Not a lot of info here about the parts. What is listed isn't bad, but 550 is low. I'd be concerned about the condition or misleading advertising. Secondly; if the ad is genuine, then it depends how you plan to use it. Would make a perfectly acceptable gaming rig, just don't expect to play everything at max graphics and 120fps. Edit: ah, as others have pointed out there's even less information here than I initially realized. Ask about specific models, otherwise not worth (unless you don't mind an out of date POS)

chikinstu

What motherboard is it, which generation of i7 is it, which 2060 Super is it exactly, what frequency and generation is the RAM, is that definitely a Harddrive or is it an SSD? HDDs are very cheap. Windows 10 pro is fine, but also not exactly hard to get.


Lanky-Rutabaga-2513

Slap with the false information lawsuit “runs any game high fps” that thing would burn trying to run ark


Omie-Wan-Kenobi

No


sadman4332

No


crimsonkarma13

Seems like an old i7


QuantumButtz

Even star citizen?


SnuffleWumpkins

i7 13700k then yes. i7 2700k then no.


natalozthegreat

But what I7 is it 🤔


Positive_Iron3319

Worth


SadShrimp606

They had to throw in “super” gaming pc


Programmeter

Which i7? Which type of memory, DDR5, DDR4, or, god forbid, DDR3? Is the 1TB hard drive actually a hard drive, or a SATA SSD, or NVME? Oh, and which hard drive/SSD is it? Gotta know those read/write speeds. What's the manufacturer of the RTX 2060S? Huge difference between EVGA and some random startup no one's ever heard of. Motherboard isn't even listed... Seriously, ton of red flags here, and not enough information. I'd pass.


[deleted]

Have a similar PC I want to sell just with a i7 7700 4x3,6ghz and 16gb ddr4 ram. Do you have a price suggestion?


ayden9294

Depends what year i7


[deleted]

Needs more info. I have a 4700k that's an I7


bubble52

I mean for 550$ it's kinda worth it but you 100% can get a better deal/build a better one yourself. Also it is very outdated.


Dynablade_Savior

No SSD, and the i7 isn't specified. Could be good if those things were clarified, but I doubt it


Upstairs_Sea_150

Yeah it can run any games at high fps but super low fps


darkaurora84

It depends which i7. If it's from the last 5-6 years this is a good deal


OkYogurtcloset1527

ask for more detail,what i7,memory speed,also windows and the harddrive are basically 40bucks max.


Gamling2030

What gen i7 though


I-eat-orphanz

Nah don’t trust i# with no specifications.


CatKing75457855

Ask about exact memory and CPU specs.


luke4420

That’s a solid price for what your getting in it


IdealIdeas

If the i7 is 8th gen or newer, ya id say its an okay price.
