A coworker is offering me a PC that has some pretty high-end specs, and I'm curious if it's a good deal. Here's what I'm looking at: Intel Core i9 10920x (12 Cores, 24 Threads), 256GB DDR4 RAM, 4.5TB total storage (including a 500GB SSD and a 4TB HDD), and an RTX 3090 with 24GB of VRAM. The price is $650. Should I go for it?

Absolutely, this sounds like an amazing deal if it's all in working condition! Just the RTX 3090 alone is worth around $650. If you can test the PC out before buying, go for it!
The 3090 is definitely more expensive than that, so you're in for a good deal.
No contest, this is a steal! You could easily run games on 1440p for years to come with that setup. Just keep in mind that upgrades might be a bit tricky later on.
Holy moly, yes! With those specs, especially the 3090 and the 256GB RAM, you're set for gaming. If you add a 2TB SSD, you'll be golden.
Yeah, it’s worth it just for the 3090! But remember, the i9 10920x isn’t the best for gaming performance compared to other i7/i9 models from that time; it’s more of a workstation chip.
I mainly play Minecraft and Fortnite. Will that setup still work well for those games?
He seems genuine; he even showed me the PC and it looks awesome!
