Is this PC build good for basic gaming?
Asked by

I'm looking to put together a PC build mainly with used parts since RAM and other components are pretty pricey right now. I'm relatively new to this and want some advice on whether my build is any good. I'm considering buying used parts, but I'm open to getting new ones if there's a good reason for it.
Here's the proposed setup:
- Asus RTX 3080 10GB - €210
- MSI 1TB NVMe SSD - €90
- 2x Vengeance LPX DDR4 8GB 3000 MHz - €78 total
- MSI H110I Pro Mini-ITX Motherboard LGA1151 - €30
- Intel i7 9700K - €80
- Endorfy Navis F240 – 240mm AIO Cooler - €40
- Case - Not decided yet, around €50
What do you think? Is this setup good enough for basic gaming?

Overall, the build has some strong points like the RTX 3080, which is a great GPU. However, your motherboard and CPU combo could be better. The H110I might limit your CPU’s performance, and it’s not very future-proof. Also, check compatibility for cooling and consider a better motherboard if you plan to upgrade later.

Honestly, it's a rough time for PC builders. Prices for components are soaring, so used parts seem like a smart move. Just be cautious; you should research your motherboard capabilities more. If gaming is the focus, make sure your components work well together.
