eBay, Newegg, Facebook Marketplace... just look there...

Thanks a ton!

Can someone give me a fair estimate on what this rig is worth:
INSTAR Gamer Prime, Intel Core I5 9400 up to 4.1GHz, 16 GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Nvidia GeForce GTX1660, Windows, with a 5-year warranty valid until April 2025.

Where should I list it—eBay or somewhere else? Thanks a ton!

Thanks for the tip, Adam Moore3. Luckily, he’s not showing any of those symptoms—not even close. He’s got strict daily limits on screen time, plus he’ll still drop everything just to go hit some hoops outside with his buddies... Honestly, I think he just fell for some YouTuber's hype or something, so we'll just have to wait it out.

Hey everyone. My kid is running this setup:
Intel Core i5 9400 up to 4.1GHz,
8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD,
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB, no ODD,
and an AOC 144 Hz monitor: 24G2U, 24", IPS, FHD 1920x1080px, 1ms, 144 Hz, DP, 2x HDMI, AMD FreeSync, 4x USB3.0
He’s mostly playing Fortnite—but now he wants a 240 Hz monitor to "boost" his gaming performance...
Any advice? Does it even make sense to grab a high refresh rate monitor (GeForce compatible) with his current card—or should we be looking at other upgrades to actually improve gameplay?
I'd appreciate any help before he blows through his entire savings on something useless!
