Hey everyone! I'm looking to buy a second-hand gaming PC from Facebook Marketplace since I've never owned one before. My goal is to play games like Valorant, Fortnite, Minecraft, Dead by Daylight, and Roblox with good FPS and visuals, and I'm hoping to keep my budget around €500. I've come across a few options, but I'm unsure which specs are the best for gaming. Here are the PCs I've found:
1. €500 - New parts: Ryzen 5 5500, 16GB RAM, 500GB NVME, Gigabyte B550 motherboard, 1660 Super.
2. €500: AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1050 TI.
3. €500: Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB DDR4, Nvidia GTX 1080ti, 500GB SSD.
4. €550: Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB RAM, Ryzen RX 6600XT, 500GB NVME SSD.
5. €450: Ryzen 5 2600X, GTX 1080, 16GB RAM, 1TB M.2 SSD.
If none of these are great choices, I'd really appreciate some advice on what I should look for. Thanks!

PC 3 seems like the best option here. You get a solid Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and a GTX 1080ti, which is fantastic for gaming. Plus, it's got 16GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD, which should give you decent performance for the games you mentioned. If you can stretch your budget a bit, building a custom PC might give you even better specs for around the same price.
Yeah, building a PC can save you money in the long run, plus you get exactly what you want! Some local computer shops even offer to help put it together if you buy the parts from them.
