I'm thinking about buying a computer from a listing I found on Facebook Marketplace. The seller mentions that it runs modern games and is priced at $500, which seems fair. Here are the specs they're offering:
- **CPU**: Intel Core i5-14500 (2.6GHz with 14 cores and 20 threads)
- **Cooling**: Thermalright Assassin X 120R SE V2 ARGB air cooler
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte Z790 UD AC DDR5 ATX
- **GPU**: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB GDDR6
- **RAM**: 32GB (2x 16GB DDR5-4800MHz)
- **Storage**: Crucial MX300 1TB SATA III SSD
- **PSU**: GAMDIAS Helios P1 650G (650w, 80 Plus Gold)
- **Cooling**: 3x Cougar 140mm ARGB intake fans + 1x Cougar 120mm ARGB exhaust fan
- **Case**: Cougar MX600 RGB Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower
- **Wireless**: Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth 5.2
I want to know if this is a good deal and if there are any tips on how to avoid being scammed when I meet the seller. I'm not too tech-savvy, so I might have trouble checking the components on the spot, but maybe I can compare them to images I find online?

If it looks too good to be true, it might be. But honestly, this sounds like a good deal. Don’t wait too long!
Good deal, I'd recommend buying it ASAP! Just make sure to take a close look when you meet up.
That’s a steal! Just make sure to meet in a public place to stay safe. If you're unsure about the components, maybe look up images on Google and compare them when you're there.
We’re meeting at a coffee shop; is there a way I can confirm the hardware's authenticity? I don’t really know much about computers.
That's definitely a steal at $500! You might want to grab it before someone else does. The specs are great for gaming, especially the RTX 4060.
Should I take my post down? I’m worried someone might try to swoop in and take it from me.
How can I verify it's legit when I check it out? I'm not really tech-savvy and I want to ensure I’m not getting scammed.
