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.

A GTX 1660 Super would be the perfect fit here, but good luck actually finding one. You'll end up paying over $200 on eBay just for a used one. 🤣 Honestly, now isn't the time to be building any new rigs, especially not with these cheap, low-end parts.

$217It was probably used for mining, but it looks like a solid deal...

If this card actually had an extra 4GB of VRAM, I would have snatched it up in a heartbeat—honestly, it’s easily my favorite RX 580 I've ever come across.

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

Is it actually worth it?

* ASUS Prime A320M-K

If it isn't a scam or some broken component that was fried in an oven or something... the price is great!!!

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

The price seems fine, but that power supply is definitely budget tier...

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!

True. $1833, though I guess the GPU alone makes up more than half that total right now.

eBay, Newegg, Facebook Marketplace...

I’ve got a Titan X graphics card sitting around that I just don't have any use for anymore. Is there actually any value left in it these days?

At least $300, probably north of $400.

Honestly, I’d aim for $450–$500... that card actually outperforms a 2060 and sits right up there with a 2070.

Not sure if she's pricing this based on gaming demand or crypto mining. It might work for both, but supply is thin. Who knows when someone will actually show up on eBay looking for that specific card? Personally, I'd set a decent floor—maybe $400—and then drop it if it doesn't move. Seems like a good window to offload used gear right now. If prices keep sliding, the older cards are always going to be the first to tank.
