I found a complete used PC and gaming setup listed for ₹75,000. The PC is around 1.5 years old, while the BenQ 27-inch 1440p monitor is reportedly only a week old and comes with its bill and warranty. The system includes a Ryzen 5 5500, RX 6700 XT 12GB, Gigabyte B450M motherboard, 16GB DDR4 RAM, a 256GB NVMe SSD, a 1TB external hard drive, RGB cooling, keyboard, mouse, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dongles, and Windows 11. The seller claims everything works properly and is available for testing in person. Is ₹75,000 reasonable for the entire setup, and what price should I negotiate toward? Also, what should I test during inspection? The power supply model was not mentioned in the listing.

The RX 6700 XT is still a capable 1440p card, and the overall combination should perform well for the price. However, 256GB of internal storage is very limited, so you would probably need to add a larger SSD. Before deciding, run a CPU stress test such as Prime95, a GPU benchmark such as 3DMark, and a memory test. Check temperatures, clock speeds, crashes, visual artifacts, and whether the system throttles during the tests.
The missing PSU model is a major concern. Ask for the exact brand, wattage, efficiency rating, purchase bill, and age. A good-quality PSU is important for an RX 6700 XT, while an unknown or low-end unit could mean an expensive replacement. Do not buy until you have verified it and tested the PC under load.
₹75,000 may be on the high side for the used PC itself. Based on the listed parts, a rough value for the tower could be closer to ₹50,000–₹55,000, depending heavily on the exact GPU condition, motherboard, RAM, storage, case, and power supply. The newer monitor and accessories add value, but I would still negotiate firmly rather than accepting the asking price immediately.
What is the easiest way to run the memory and hardware tests during the inspection?
