I was going to build my son a new computer for Christmas because his current gaming laptop wasn't keeping up with the newer games and his 1440p monitor. Until, I came across this deal on Facebook Marketplace. At first, I was hesitant about buying a used computer off FB, but the guy really seem legit and it was one of those deal-of-a-lifetime situations.

I got this for $1000.00.

The seller was an amazing guy. He also gave my son a brand Steelseries Arctis 3 headphones, Apex 7 TKL gaming keyboard, and a LETS GT500 laptop cooler my youngest could use because he was getting my oldest 3050 TI laptop.

He said he built it but hasn't touched it in months because of work, family life, moving, and a new baby on the way. Super grateful that I could get this for my son at that price.

  1. Oxidation issue? Uh what.  They are having issues but it’s nothing related to oxidization.

    The GPU is worth that alone. You got a great offer as long as it’s all mechanically sound

    Damn. nice deal. You must live near the nicer FB marketplace folks. All I get are crackheads and soccer moms trying to make a buck.

    Great pick up though 🙂

  4. Go to yt and find JayzTwoCents.

    One of his recent videos shows what to do to “save” your CPU from failing before intel releases the microcode update mid August.

    Nice offer you got there btw. Gratz.

    Meanwhile someone is trying to sell a pc with a rx 580 for $900 near me

    It took me a second after reading the title to realise you didn’t pay for that computer with your son 💀

    It looks like you got this for yourself not for your son. Good buy ! Haha

    That’s sick, one thing though. I would return the graphics card to the conventional orientation for better temps. If it’s possible, of course.

    100% stolen, that’s way too cheap. Great deal!!!

    Meanwhile people in my area on FB marketplace are selling 5 year old PCs for 1000 dollars…

  14. Swimming-Disk7502

    Fucking hell! A thousand buck? For all of that??? This has to be a joke, right? For what the seller gave you, it would’ve cost like 3000 bucks or more in where I live.

    Watch for that intel CPU. Limit wattage voltage before it goes kaboom.

  16. Bizarre_Unicorn

    Impressed with the build and looking good there. Indeed a great deal with those specs

    Good job as a father taking care of your kid’s gaming needs!
