Hey everyone! I'm considering buying a used gaming PC that has some solid specs and is being sold for around $1800. Here's what I found:
- **Processor:** AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 4.7GHz
- **RAM:** 32GB DDR5-6000
- **Storage:** 1TB NVMe SSD + 2TB SSD
- **Network:** 2.5GbE, WiFi-6E, Bluetooth
- **Ports:** 8x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, 2x USB-C, 2x HDMI, 3x DP
- **Model:** Lian Li Custom Case
- **Video Card:** Nvidia RTX 4080 16GB
- **Operating System:** Windows 11 Home
I'm planning to check it out in person tomorrow at a local computer parts store that offers a 30-day return policy. This will be my first experience buying a used PC, so I'm wondering if this price is reasonable. Also, are there any specific questions I should ask or things I should check before purchasing, like power supply capacity or manufacturer?

Honestly, that seems a bit overpriced for a used setup. If this price is in USD, you might want to do some more research. For reference, you could build a similar rig for a little less by opting for different parts instead, like going for an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and paying for assembly instead of buying the pre-built system. It's worth comparing to ensure you’re not overpaying!
Thanks for the insight! What do you think would be a reasonable price for this setup, considering the local business aspect? I’m open to paying a bit more for quality guarantees.
