Oh, the terrible RTX 3050 8GB. This seller made me sad because in my country they do the same thing, call it gamer and say it has RGB and that’s it.
OP you are such a Karen tho. Let it be, you can’t solve “scams” in life
i hate it when people sell their used pcs and list their parts with “new” prices, when the pc is everything but new. in total that build is shit and heavily overpriced and should cost 300 max
You messaging him a whole book about stuff he already probably knows ain’t gonna change him.
bro why do u even bother texting him?
I don’t get why there’s some flak bein thrown your way for calling them out. Anyone selling off a 3050 saying it can do 1440p ray tracing deserves to be told people know they’re full of crap. Good job OP
lollllll
This shit is over half the posts on pc subs and whilst they’re asshole scammers it makes me happy knowing someone who was about to be scammed decided to make a decision to ask someone and has walked away wanting to build a pc
Noob here. Can you tell me what’s wrong in tldr?
£250 for a Corsair CX550 PSU! WHATS IT MADE OUT OF?! GOLD?!
did you send an offer or just waste that person’s time?
I guess we’ll see soon enough when there’s a post saying “I absolutely hate buyers like this. wasting my time”
too add to this though, this is actually a better build from a post just like this yesterday and this dude said it was worth 200 bucks and got absolutely shitted on and everyone was up in arms saying for 400 bucks a 10 year old system with a 1060 is a good deal.
which it’s not.
if you are in uk buy from house of computers .. best prices
When scrolling my feed, I thought this was the bottom of a Matrix hovercraft.
1440p ray-tracing in modern triple a titles…
This guy is a blatant scammer.
In times like these, I wish there was Twitter community notes on shopping platforms
People need to do their research on what GPU they want, then find the individual parts that are compatible and perform best with said-gpu. Then base their searches off this.
Why?
Because they keep buying either a crappy prebuilt or someone’s else’s crappy build. Then they cry. JUST CHECK BRO. Feel bad bc some poor shmuck will defo buy that. That dude doesn’t deserve a cent.
Those people should still research
Major retailers often sell way more overpriced prebuilts, where something like 30-40% of the listing price is ‘assembling fee’.
These are now the two BEST spec descriptions that I have ever seen in my life. They will now serve as the gold standard when shopping for a prebuilt

It’s common in Facebook Marketplace. I would just report them for misinformation/scam.
Keep it up bro. Stop people from tricking beginners🫡
550 watt psu for 250£ brand new lol
My 1650 mobile is also 4k capable. It opens the games just fine in 4k. Framerate is another story though…
dont know much about pc’s but it sounds like the seller is just talking for money..
but is the deal bad? to me it seems OK but for “quite a few years” i think the price would be better somewhere 400-500€
educate me!
My favourite part is the PSU that retailed between £30-£60 new before it was discontinued being listed as being bought for £250.
Scammer is gonna scam.
What a dick. Can do RT at 1440p in AAA titles?! Gtfoh
My old build took about 3 weeks to sell on FB Marketplace. Funny, I saw a lot worse setups sell for the same or more in that time but they exaggerated the performance of the build. They also looked dusty as hell. Mine also had no RGB so it probably didn’t look like a “gaming” PC though, I know some people really care about that.
When I finally sold it the guy was stoked, he said he couldn’t believe my ad was up for that long. He came over and asked if he could turn it on and open it and I said sure. He was impressed it was clean and organized and ran just as described. I asked if he would know how to install some extra fans and he said yes so I threw in a few spares I had his way.
I posted what performance I got in the games I played but I encouraged people to do their own research and not just take mine, or anyone’s, word for it. So I’m glad it went to a good home. But it was certainly frustrating knowing that I could have just lied my ass off and sold it for more if I was that kind of guy.
“A 1080p gaming system that can do 1440p ray-tracing in modern triple A titles”.
I mean he’s not wrong, he just forgets to tell them it won’t be an enjoyable experience at all.
I mean, he’s not wrong
I bet this response to the seller made them think twice and change their prices accordingly.
Always rubs me the wrong way when people are misleading others like this. How do you sleep at night taking advantage of people like this? Fucking disgraceful!
Good on you for calling them out like this OP!
He really said 4k…!
Jeesus, some people are only people from the outer appearance
Buyers have to take responsibility and educate themselves.
Well his name is Hamad, you’re kinda bound to get scammed
Someone was asking $900 for a computer with 1tb of storage, a Ryzen 5 3600, and a 3060 in my area. Said he paid $2000 for it.
I’d never buy a used PC with a stock heat sink. 🤢
People who buy this send their bank routing numbers to Nigerian princes too.
No one will buy it, I’ve built brand new PCs and have priced them as a loss and still have tough times getting them to sell. Maybe what we went through the gpu apocalypse it would have sold but no way now
Well regarding the 3050 and 1070 not being able to play 1440p games newer than 2015 that’s just flat wrong. Stop trolling sellers it’s pathetic. Go touch grass.
I also sell overpriced used hardware in my little remote area. If they want to do the 4 hour round-trip to the city to save a few bucks they can go right ahead.
Otherwise, it’s up to you to do your due diligence.
My second hand psu was 20£ a cx650f rgb
Pcie 3.0 motherboard – is there any real difference than a pcie 4.0 motherboard? Say for a 3060 ti, r5 5600, 1080p 100hz
