I came across a used gaming PC that I'm considering purchasing. The specifications include a Ryzen 7 5800X, RTX 3050, 32GB of RAM, and an NVMe SSD. The asking price is $650. I know this setup is a bit older, but I'm on a budget and wanted to get some opinions on whether this is worth it.

That's a solid PC build! Just make sure the RAM is DDR5; otherwise, it’s still a great value for the price you’re considering, especially given the specs.
This is pretty much my setup, but I went for a 5070ti instead. Honestly, for that price, it's a smart buy, and you can always swap out the GPU later for better performance.
The GPU is the only part that might be a bit underwhelming. It should handle most games decently, but if you start to feel limited, you can always upgrade the GPU later. You'd essentially have the same setup that I do then!
Yeah, I found a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Aorus Elite for around $650 too!
What? That’s an AM4 processor, so it’s likely DDR4.
