It’s gotta be around here somewhere—I guess.

Is it actually worth picking up a used RTX 3050?

Asking $2,300. Is that actually realistic? I guess we'll see.

It’s probably not even worth fixing—you'll end up paying half what the actual device costs anyway, I guess.

Well, not for us skinny types—I guess. You know how it is, everything you wear has way too much extra room, so your clothes just kind of flap around your legs. Or when it gets hot in the summer and you’re too embarrassed to wear shorts because your legs look like toothpicks. 😵

I'm dealing with the exact same thing. I'm over 5'11" but barely hit 155 lbs—still look skinny, though I feel like everything goes straight to my gut instead of my arms or legs. I really want to fill out my frame, but honestly, it looks like hitting the gym is my only shot, since trying to eat enough just isn't working—dammit.

So, how old is your rig—or even just the parts?

I'm letting go of an AOC C24G1 IPS 75Hz, 21.5" for $200. It’s still got a 36-month warranty—bought it last summer, maybe late July or August.

So, I get it. But what do you guys think about this build? The guy is asking about $900.

Is it actually worth it?

Ryzen 5 1600AF - 6 cores / 12 threads
* 2x4(8GB) DDR4 G.Skill Ripjaws V Red 2400MHz
* ASUS Prime A320M-K
* Gainward Phoenix GS GTX 1060 6GB
* Cooler Master V450
* Adata 120GB SSD
* Corsair Carbide Series

I'm looking to put together a PC with maybe $2,000–$2,500 to spend—haha. I know, sounds kind of cringe, but I’m thinking about mixing some new parts with used ones... I guess it's doable? Anyway, I'm wondering what kind of GPU would actually pair well with an Intel Core i3-10100F—maybe something that's actually popular right now.

So, what would this build even run me for? I'm thinking maybe $2600—but honestly, probably not.

Intel Core i3 9100 f, QuadCore 3.6 GHz, 6 MB cache (9th gen).
- ASUS Prime motherboard
- 512 GB SSD
- 8 GB DDR4 (2x4GB)
- ATI RX 550 2GB GDDR5 graphics card
- Power Supply 500W
- Corsair case
- ASUS DVD Writer
- Activated Windows 10 Pro
- Everything is brand new with a receipt and a 3-year warranty—except for the GPU, obviously.

Found this on Craigslist—honestly, I’d just grab it without the graphics card, but the guy actually bought the whole thing used for $67. He’s asking $2,600 for the lot, which... yeah, sounds way too much to me.

Is a Core chip actually a smart move if you just want decent gaming?

If I were looking for a used GPU in the $500-$$267 range, what’s the better move—going with an RX 5xx or maybe something like a GTX 1xxx?

I'm using "x" because I really don't feel like listing every single model here—it doesn't matter which specific ones they are.

I don't have any DDR4 RAM—so I guess I'm starting from scratch here.

I'm looking to pick up a decent gaming rig—probably some used parts—since my budget is sitting right around $733. I stumbled upon this listing, but I've no clue if it's actually worth the asking price, especially since I still need to hunt down a power supply and a case.
