Hey everyone! I'm looking at a second-hand pre-built PC that's listed for 500 euros, and I think the specs are pretty decent for the price. It has an Intel i5 6700 CPU, an RX 6700 XT GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 120GB SSD, and a 500GB HDD. I already have a spare 480GB SSD too. My main concern is the CPU since it's a bit outdated. The motherboard is a Gigabyte H110, so I was wondering if it's worth buying this setup and possibly upgrading the CPU later. What do you all think?

Actually, the CPU and RAM aside, everything else isn’t that old. I found a better deal for 580 euros that seems promising.
Insanely valuable? That hardware is over 10 years old. I'd pass on this one; I wouldn't pay a dime for it.
I found another option that's a bit more expensive—just 80 euros more—with more RAM and a Ryzen 5 5500 but still the same GPU. There's also a setup with a 3060 and a Ryzen 5 7600. Do you think the RX 6700 XT is worth it over the 3060 with the better CPU?
Honestly, the i5 6700 is pretty old and won't perform great for modern 1080p gaming. I'd suggest looking for something newer, like a 12th-gen i3 or a Ryzen 5500, for a better experience.
If you're playing on a 768p to 1080p monitor, the RX 6700 might actually be overkill for your needs, but it does sound like a good deal for the price.
