I'm considering a PC build that's being offered to me for $900. Here's what's included in the offer: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU (8 cores/16 threads, 3.4 GHz base, 4.6 GHz boost), ANTEC A400i cooler, GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE V2 motherboard, GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 GPU with 8GB GDDR7, 32GB G.SKILL Ripjaws V RAM at 3600MHz, 1TB Kingston NV3 SSD, a 650W Corsair CX650 power supply, and a Corsair 4000D RGB airflow case. I'm wondering if this is a good deal or if I should keep looking?

Honestly, I’d say pass on this one. The CPU is a few generations old, and the GPU only has 8GB. Plus, the PSU isn’t great. For a similar price, you could get a better setup or a comparable one with newer parts for around $700-$800.
Are you buying this build used or new? Just a heads up, the pricing can vary based on that.
For $900, you might want to check options with a better GPU like the RX 9060 XT 16GB. Just a thought!
This offer is a complete build, and I can't change anything if I want to buy it.
It’s actually brand new!
