Hey everyone! I built my first PC back in 2020 and I'm thinking about upgrading since prices are all over the place. I stumbled upon a refurbished pre-built PC that caught my eye. Here are the specs:
- AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core CPU
- Corsair H100 RGB 240mm AiO liquid cooler
- 32GB (2x 16GB) 5600MT/s Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 memory
- ASUS TUF Gaming B650-PLUS WIFI ATX motherboard
- 2TB WD Blue SN580 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD
- GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB Graphics Card
- 750W Corsair RMe-series 80+ Gold PSU
- Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB case in Black
It's priced at £1150, and it's from a legit UK supplier. It was originally built by Horizon. Just wanted to get your thoughts—does this seem like a good deal or should I be cautious? Thanks!

Honestly, I'd be cautious about refurbished PCs. While the parts are decent, there can be hidden issues. Refurbished often means that something went wrong at some point, so check if there's a warranty or return policy just in case. Better safe than sorry!
I think it's a solid deal! It's a good set of components, and refurbished can be a great way to save money, especially if it's from a reliable supplier. Just do a little digging on Horizon's reputation before committing, and you should be good to go!
Definitely check into the refurb details! If it's just cosmetic wear and fully functional, that can be a fantastic deal for the build you're getting.
I see your point, but I think it depends on how well the refurb was done. If it's just an old display unit that's been checked, it might be fine. Just make sure to read up on reviews for the seller!
