I'm considering buying a PC from my cousin for £200. It includes an RTX 2060, an AM4 2600X CPU, 256 GB SSD, and 16 GB of RAM. Is this a good deal?

Reasonable price for sure! You can upgrade to better CPUs later on if you want to. Plus, the RTX 2060 still holds up for 1080p gaming, making this a decent buy.
That translates to about $267 USD. From my experience in the used market, I'd probably pass on it. You can often get better deals elsewhere.
Absolutely take this offer! If you can get a Ryzen 5600/5600X or 5700X on sale, it would elevate your performance noticeably. Just remember to update the BIOS before making any CPU changes. Individual parts for this setup would cost around £230 if bought separately, so you're getting a good bargain here.
It really depends on your gaming needs. If you want to play high-end games at max settings, you might need to invest more. But for casual play or being okay with lower settings, this is a fair deal.
This is a solid deal for that setup! Given the components, particularly the AM4 platform, you could easily upgrade the CPU later. A Ryzen 5600(X) would bring a significant performance boost for around £100 more. Definitely worth considering!
Honestly, for just £200, that's a real steal! If the PC runs well, you can't go wrong.
I get where you're coming from, but let’s be real. At £200, it's a fair offer, especially coming from family. For what you get, it's a decent price. I’ve seen the same parts go for $290 to $300 in used markets, so it's not too bad.
