I have a Lenovo laptop with a 1650 graphics card (4GB) and a Ryzen 7 5800H processor (6 cores, 12 threads). My brother's friend is selling a PC for only 137 euros, which has a 1660 graphics card, an Intel i5 9600KF processor, a single 8GB stick of RAM running at 2200MHz, and just a hard drive (no SSD). I'm trying to figure out if it's worth spending more than double that amount for a 1TB SSD, two 8GB RAM sticks, and possibly a new motherboard since I've seen that it only supports a maximum RAM speed of 2600MHz. Given that I mainly play esports games like CS2 and Fortnite, I'm not too concerned about ray tracing or DLSS. Should I go for this deal or save up for more modern components?

For just 137 euros, that's an amazing deal! You can always upgrade the RAM later when prices drop. A hard drive isn’t ideal, definitely slower than SSDs, but it'll work for now. Just keep in mind that a lot of games perform much better with an SSD; however, you won’t get completely locked out while you’re using an HDD.”,
