Which GPU you ended up going for?

Curious for a budget build

Ryzen 5 3600

I was going to get a newer 5000 series or a 10th gen plus intel but found it on eBay for $70 which is half the price so was too good a deal to pass up, especially since the B550 motherboards are cheaper

Sorry, i just realized you said GPU, not CPU. I picked up a GTX 1660 super. Another great deal on ebay.

Oh that’s such a nice pick up actually 💜 Never really checked eBay for PC parts, should start doing that

If you are paitient you can get some good deals. I got the motherboard new tho.

Every part brand new, or you did some used auctions also?

Case, motherboard, ram, and cpu fan are new. CPU, storage, and GPU are used. Bought budget new parts and the most expensive items went used for good items, but a few years old.

Seems like the optimal way to go yeah.

Seeing some people buy used PSU’s, might as well flip a coin

Yeah I didn’t go used on power supply or skimp for that lol

You always remember your 1st. best of luck and cheers!!!

Awesome! Let us know how it turns out (and maybe the specs)

Gz!

I’m excited for you mate 🫂 happy gaming mate

Also, do you think a middle aged dad can play CoD without embarrassing themselves?

Building a PC from scratch is so much fun and easily the way to go. Better price, get exactly what you want and understand how your computer works. Triple win. 🏆
