I've given up on building a DDR5 setup and found a DDR4 PC build listed for $1100 (about 330k LKR, since I'm in Sri Lanka). Here's what's included:
- **Processor**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600x (2-year warranty)
- **Cooler**: ANTEC SYMPHONY 360 ARGB (2-year warranty)
- **Memory**: Corsair DDR5 5600 MHz 16GB (9-year warranty)
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 Gaming Plus Wifi (2-year warranty)
- **SSD**: Addlink 1TB Gen 4 NVMe
- **Power Supply**: XPG 650W Gold
- **Graphics Card**: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1060
- **Case**: XPG Battle Cruiser
- **UPS**: 1.2Kva Prolink UPS (no battery backup)
- **Mouse**: Logitech G402
- **Keyboard**: Logitech G213
- **Monitor**: Koorui 27 inch 2K, 200Hz (2-year warranty)
Is this a good deal? What should I check before purchasing? I'm eager to play some AAA games, so any guidance would be appreciated!

Honestly, the GPU is quite outdated for AAA games. I wouldn’t recommend buying it as is. You could get a more balanced build if you go for a Ryzen 5 5600/5600F and look for a better graphics card like the RX 6600 or RTX 3060. You'd likely find a new build under $1000, which is better for gaming. Also, avoid used SSDs to be safe! If you're keen on the current build, consider upgrading the GPU to something like an RX 6700 XT later on.
Everything looks decent except for the graphics card, which won't handle modern games well. A 6700 XT would make a significant difference. Keep in mind that warranties might not transfer to you, so do some testing. I suggest using Cinebench for the CPU and Superposition for the GPU to check performance—this way, you can see how well the hardware runs under load!
