Super proud of the build! Marketplace is a real major W for saving. This was a build for a friend.
My friend wanted to start getting into pc gaming but didn’t want to break the bank. I found a mostly built pc on marketplace for $70 (pretty much everything except a GPU). It was super dusty and only had 8GB of ram. The seller could only confirm one of the HDD was 160GB, but I later found out the other was 1.5TB. I cleaned up everything, bought the GPU for $40 and new ram for $40. I spent $30 on the SSD for a grand total of $180!
I had a left over case from a previous case swap and transferred everything from one case to another since the old one didn’t look as nice. I definitely know the PSU and HDD aren’t the best but since he’s planning on E sports gaming and reserving graphic intensive games for his PS5, this should suit him for the time being.
Final note, he’s mostly playing Roblox, Left 4 Dead, Apex Legends, Fortnite and friend slop. This pc can definitely handle everything he needs for at least 1080p 60 FPS 🙂
