I'm 15 and looking to upgrade my low-end computer for gaming and studying, with a budget of €800 max. I've found a few used PCs and need your advice on which one might be the best choice. Here are the options:
1) Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core + RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition, 16GB RAM, and it comes with 2 monitors and peripherals for €800.
2) Ryzen 5 8400F 6-core + RX6650 XT, 16GB DDR5 RAM, liquid cooling, 1TB SSD, and a nice case for €740.
3) Intel Core i7-9700K + RTX 2070 Super MSI, 32GB RAM, liquid cooling, plus a good 32" curved monitor and peripherals for €900.
4) i7 12700K + 3070Ti, 32GB Corsair DDR5 RAM, 2TB SSD, liquid cooling for €850.
5) 5700X + 4060, 16GB RAM for €690.
6) i5 13400F + RTX 4060, 16GB RAM, with warranty until May 2027 for €650.
7) Intel i5-11600K + RTX 3070 Ti, 32GB RAM for €700. Any recommendations?

Definitely number 4 is the way to go.
Honestly, don’t buy prebuilts. Building your own PC is usually more cost-effective, especially when you’re on a tight budget.
Go for build 4! It's the strongest option with DDR5 RAM and loads of storage. It should last you a while, especially if you stick with 1080p gaming.
I'd recommend option 2. It's really upgradeable compared to the others, which are on older platforms. If you plan to keep your PC for a long time, go with that one!
