Hey everyone! I've been browsing the marketplace for a few weeks now and have come across several second-hand PCs priced between 200 and 800 AUD. This is my first time buying a PC, and I'm not really sure what makes a good deal versus a bad one. I've made a table of some options that seem decent to me, including their prices, GPUs, CPUs, and RAM. I'm looking for advice on which one might be the best deal, or if any of them are worth considering. Ideally, I'd like something that can handle most AAA games at medium to high settings at 1080p with 60+ fps, and I'd prefer to spend under 500 AUD if possible.

The 550 AUD option with the RTX 1080 and i5 9400F looks solid, but if you can build your own PC, that’s usually a better value proposition. You might get more performance for your money.
I’m not sure you can build a decent rig for that budget, especially if you want something that can run games well. It might be safer to go with a second-hand PC unless you can find some killer deals on parts.
Honestly, I don’t think any of the options past 250 AUD are really worth it. I'd suggest focusing on that 250 option as a starting point.
