I'm considering buying a used PC with the following specifications for 400€:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X (65° max under load)
- Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120
- GPU: GTX 1080 Ti with Accellero eXtreme IV (50° max under load)
- RAM: 32GB (8x4, 3000MHz, CL15)
- SSD NVMe: Crucial P3, 512GB (new)
- Motherboard: MSI 350 PC Mate
- PSU: Corsair CX600
- Case: Vultech
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
Is this a good deal? What should I check to avoid getting scammed?

Not a scam, but you might find better options nearby. The 1080 Ti loses driver support lately, which is a concern. It can still run everything fine at 1080p for now. If you’re okay with its limits, it could still be worth the buy.
Honestly, I wouldn’t go for that. The specs are pretty outdated and you might be paying too much for what you’re getting.
It's a fair deal considering the price, but keep in mind the hardware's age. Have a look at newer options like an R5 3600 if you can. If you're mainly playing older games at 1080p, it should handle that pretty well, but newer titles might be a challenge.
Check what games you're planning to run and at what resolution. For 1080p, it might be okay, but you're likely wanting more power soon for future titles. In Italy, this might be one of the better builds for under 500€, but don't hesitate to negotiate or look at alternatives.
