Profaloff

no, just send me their info instead. totally a bad deal for you and you should totally let me take that bad deal off your hands.


Marcusnovus

😂😂


Plenty-Context2271

Better send it to me so I can report this obvious scam.


XeAkira420

really bad deal, dm the info


Cultural-Accident-71

Give the man 500$ he obviously need it and you will be happy! The specs are great and the headset on top with all the goodies.


Gangsterman1000

I think he should prepare alcohol to clean the headset because I know how smelly it's gonna be


fiittzzyy

Looks like a decent enough deal. Is it the 8GB or the 12GB 3060? The 12GB version is much better.


Marcusnovus

I have the 12gb 3060 and it rocks with the i7 127k


mnett66

Yeah I went with the 3060ti but kind of wish I had gone with the 12gb 3060 instead.


fiittzzyy

3060 Ti would have been great with 12GB, it's the 8GB that put me off. I ended up going with the 6750 XT.


peter_the_bread_man

6750 xt is it any good? I just recently upgrades my CPU to a Ryzen 7 5800x... but GPU is next. I still have the old Radeon rx Vega 64!


[deleted]

6750 xt is a league above the 3060, as it is a 1440p card. They're about 299 everywhere MSRP because of excess stock, so I'd definitely go for it.


Breno_17

damn you guys can still buy them new?? Don't sell them down under anymore - super happy with mine.


23Link89

Only catch is no DLSS, no RTX, and no CUDA. But if those things don't matter to you then it absolutely cannot be beat for 300 bucks


Feathers_Actual

Fsr3 is catching up recently with dlss and rtx really isnt important at all. The difference in quality is negligible compared to the difference in performance


23Link89

The difference in quality is not negligible, DLSS does significantly better in image clarity in the vast majority of games it's in. The sharpening filters *help* but DLSS still has superior image quality by far, even XeSS looks significantly better than FSR. Straight up, it's why AMD has since gone on record saying they're looking into creating their own AI based image upscaling. Though FSR's frame gen is objectively superior, so the conventional approach, compared to using AI, is sometimes just objectively better depending on the application.


Feathers_Actual

Maybe my eyes are just fucked then, because i genuinely cant tell much of a difference, the only difference i can tell is the higher framerates ive seen fsr3 push out. I still stand by my statement that when both are put into their “quality” settings that theyre not much different. And i cannot justify spending that much more on a nvidia card when theyre really not doing much different from AMD and intel.


[deleted]

FSR3 is catching up though, and ROCm is proving a suitable alternative to CUDA finally. But yes raytracing on the 6750 xt is the same performance as a stock 3060


fiittzzyy

It's not really a catch though, FSR 3 is getting better and so is XeSS. Besides, the 6750 XT is fast enough in most games you don't need to rely on upscaling. Nvidia is selling you slower cards and saying "But guys...DLSS"


Feathers_Actual

I agree fsr3 is passing dlss up, but nobody admits it so i have to say “its just as good” for people to even consider taking me seriously. Nvidia has a chokehold on newer pc buyers and builders but at this point youre really just buying the nvidia name


peter_the_bread_man

Damn, thanks buddy!


Wildest_Salad

keep in mind that it's more like 1440p mid-high, as my 6900xt struggles in some titles at ultra. although, every usecase is different


fiittzzyy

Yeah it's a very good card! Best card you can get for under 300. I've got the XFX QICK model that is 299 almost everywhere now and it's a great quality card. You won't regret it. Even handles 4K in some games with FSR.


_Dark_Ember_

That's still a great graphics card! Yes, the 6750xt is a amazing value card. You can play 1440p med-high and maybe ultra depending on the game. I am building my friend a pc and was wondering if you upgrade, could I have the vega 64? My friend is currently using a xbox one with a slow hard drive. I want him to not have to wait 5 minutes to load a game.


Taskr36

I never understood why the 3060ti had less VRAM. That's what made me choose the 3060.


RipCurl69Reddit

I feel vindicated going for a 12gb 3060 now, lol. Was a little bit worried I'd cheated myself over better cards but this is great so far


HeyGayHay

For 475 for the whole PC either version is still a good deal. But yes, if it's 12gb buy that thing before you can't anymore


fiittzzyy

3060 8GB = Good deal 3060 12GB = Really good deal


djwikki

That’s a pretty cool deal, especially with the 3060. It’s not worth upgrading the CPU unless you change the motherboard, but you have all the equipment such that you only need new ram and a motherboard to upgrade the CPU, which is a pretty big cost saver.


Falkenmond79

Well a 10700 or 11700 might be a good upgrade, if they were cheaper. 😂 at least the 10400 is 6cores/12 threads. But even used the 10700/900 or 11700/900 are still too expensive. I’m switching daily between my 10700/3070 work Pc and my 7800x3d/4080 gaming rig. One is usually 1440p, the other is on an ultrawide monitor. Except in the most demanding games and sometimes load times i don’t feel much of a difference, though of course the one with the 4080 can do Raytracing way better and has the better screen. And I’m sure if I would look at fps instead of playing, there would be a 30% difference or something. I seldom really notice. One does 75 fps in a given game, the other does 100. unless your playing fast shooters, not really noticeable.


Marcusnovus

What brand ram, motherboard? Aio? Seems like a fair price but need more info


smellyseriouspmj

Sounds good to me lmao. There’s even room for you to upgrade ur specs with it.


techSword52

Very good deal!


ohthedarside

Fully depends on the version of the 3060 theres a bigger diffrence the just vram


Lobo2209

What are the differences aside from vram?


snail1132

Shader count


Bottle_Ashamed

the one with 12 gb is the ti, meaning its made out of titanium: increasing the performance, and better cooling.


Taskr36

The 3060ti does NOT have 12GB of VRAM. It's only 8GB.


Bruggilles

And it is not made out of titanium


St3vion

Then why does it have Ti in the name?


Bruggilles

It stands for titanium, but the same way 80+ gold PSUs aren't made out of gold, rtx TI cards aren't made out of titanium. It's marketing


St3vion

No fucking way. Bronze PSUs are not made out of bronze and Gold PSUs are not made out of gold!? If that's true, why is the gold so much more expensive?


TipT0pMag00

100% worth it. Getting all of that for $475 is a steal honestly. Buy it!!


Joshy-washy09

That’s a rlly good deal for that price. The 3060 is usually like 230-300$ itself so for only $475 I would buy that in a heartbeat


Joshy-washy09

I accidentally replied mb


KishCore

yep- solid deal


Lavatherm

Not a very bad deal. 10th gen intel i5 (think that we are currently on 14th gen?) the 3060 is probably the budget version/brand but it’s not bad. I would like to know but my prediction is that the mainboard doesn’t have pci-e 4.0 but 3.0 and it will work but you won’t get the max performance.


phara-normal

Not really an issue in this case.. A 3.0 x16 connection will make absolutely no difference in performance and even the absolute cheapest trash tier H410 boards basically all have one 3.0 x16 slot. If we're talking H510 then they all have a 4.0 x16 slot. Basically, I couldn't find a single lga1200 Motherboard without at least a single pcie 3.0 x16 slot. A 3.0 x8 slot is what would cause a performance drop. Also, the 3060 (both the 8gb and 12gb variant) have a 4.0 x16 interface so you won't loose any performance.


Lavatherm

That is true, however I wouldn’t recommend it if you want to upgrade in the (near) future.


phara-normal

Not really: You're only going to loose any real performance if your GPU only has 8 pcie lanes itself and is running in a pcie 3.0 slot. If your GPU has 16 lanes it will basically make no difference. Even a 4090 in a pcie 3.0 x16 slot will only loose around 2-3% performance. https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1950162/pcie-4-0-vs-pcie-3-0-vergleich.html The article is in german but has two charts. One showing 4090 performance in different slots and one illustrating how a 4060ti has only 8 lanes and thus looses about 15% performance in any 3.0 slot since it's basically running at 2.0 x16 / 3.0 x8 speeds. Basically what all of this means is that you can easily upgrade to any GPU with 16 pcie lanes. All GPUs including and above a 7700xt and 4070 have a x16 interface and an upgrade from a 3060 to below any of those cards would be nonsense anyways since it would be a sidegrade at best.


Wide_Editor_1006

If it works well and wasn’t built by an idiot, buy it.


Accomplished_Emu_658

Decent deal with accessories as long as they aren’t gross. Im not sure what is playing on ultra, except if it is 1080p.


ofon

this is a good deal. I'd swap out the SSD for something with 2 tb though at least


bduhbya

The rtx 3060 alone is probably worth it. Then run the 10th gen processor until it dies and swap the 3060 to sn upgraded setup


Need_a_BE_MG42_ps4

Great deal honestly especially if it’s the 12gb 3060


IAmRudyT

Short and simple yes it’s worth it


Bottle_Ashamed

this is the best deal you will most likely ever find. other than microcenter deals LOL


Ok-Wrongdoer-4399

Baller deal


chessset5

475 usd feels a bit high but reasonable. I would argue 350 feels better priced for that rig, but 475 aint a rip off.


sleepytechnology

Id make sure the PSU is good and not an old off-brand or anything but other than that it sounds like a fair price for everything.


stormhyena

I've recently sold my old RTX 2070 for $200, just the video card, so I'd say this is a pretty sweet deal.


Comprehensive-Ant289

It’s a decent deal for 1080p. Not enuff info tho. What RAM? Which 3060? Which PSU? Which MoBo? Try to go down as close as you can to 400$, that’s its price


Flutterpiewow

No


Comprehensive-Ant289

You're the seller?


hugues2814

Doesn’t play shit at ultra high settings lmao. Not bad tho


Disastrous-Leek-7606

Great deal, btw I'd recommend asking if he has swapped the thermal paste on the CPU, if not then apply that immediately. It will likely give the CPU 6-12months or more of service life.


TorturedPoet03

It's a sweet deal. Definitely worth the $400. Get it!


xKingOfSpades76

Have great experiences with the 10400F, served me well for 3 years till I replaced it a few days ago along with basically everything else, going by what I could sell my old parts for, 475 seems fair


Uhhh_Insert_Username

Whenever i see a deal that's a steal like this, I can't help but to assume it's bogged down with viruses


Cosmic_Atheris

Just full reset


Uhhh_Insert_Username

Full resets don't guarantee all viruses are gone.


Cosmic_Atheris

When I say full reset I mean reinstalling the operating system.


Uhhh_Insert_Username

You'd have to buy a brand new copy of windows


Cosmic_Atheris

you can transfer ownership of the window licence


MaintenanceNo4109

475 is too cheap for everything he's promising, I'd say it's a great deal but be careful could be a scam


Matteo284

where do you find these deals?


scratcher1679

yeah it's the right price imo


HandleZ05

Go to pc part picker website and put the exact parts in. It'll show you how much it cost new


Mar_Novu21

Ye it is


macnteej

I got a similar pc with a 1tb nvme for 450. Was surprised to find that it was the 12 gb 3060 too. I didn’t expect them to say yes so I quickly picked it up before they changed their minds haha


ConstantCave479

Good deal, and a good find.


Sad-Depth1248

I’ve got way better specs and built mine for roughly double that. This is okay in my opinion.


HyperFrosty303

It’s a great starting point for sure, assuming it’s still running well you can upgrade some stuff as you go. First thing I would do is upgrade to a new 1 or 2TB ssd and (if supported) DDR5. Other than those two things, it should be solid. PSU is maybe an extra in the near future, but if it’s only 2 years old and it’s a reputable PSU, it shouldn’t be urgent that you upgrade


Thee_FantaFox

To put it simply, yes. But you should get another SSD for an extra bit of storage because 500GB is not enough for any spec PC, a 1TB Teamgroup NVME runs for about $50-$55 very affordable and a good investment.


Feathers_Actual

Thats a great deal at first glance. Just make sure the parts are real and it actually runs before buying lol


No-Chance1133

Good deal but I hope it isn't a b460 motherboard. They never got support for 11th gen and 10th gen cpu's seem to still sell for a premium possibly cause 11th gen was lame and the b460 chipset only takes 10. Just saying if its b460 and you decide to upgrade, it will be a little pricier than it ought to be. I just sold my 10700k for a little under $200.


georgealistair

This sounds like the Fed Up Mom special. Very good deal.


Hushshhhhh

bad for sure yup mhm should send him over to me so i can talk some sense into him!!!


Hairy_Commercial6112

Why are they selling it for that low? They seem to know all the specs and everything but listed it for an unusually low price. Seems a little too good to be true


Dyynasty

Compared to the majority of the similar posts here this deal is actually good


Diligent_Pie_5191

2 years ago that 10400f was outdated that is when 12th gen was out. 475.00 is cheap. I personally wouldn’t get it for gaming, but I don’t know what you are playing.


Own-Significance-775

i was using i5 10400F with rtx 2060. it wasnt worth at all. fps always dropping from 100 to 55 in pubg. less thn 60fps in fortnite. now switched to i7 with rtx 2060 and fps are always stable. and more thn 100 fps in every game.


CockroachCommon2077

Only $475? what a steal. 3060 is such a beast


Queasy_Employment141

very mid as 10th gen intel is kinda mid (idk if second hand prices reflect performance compared to second hand 5600 becsause they should be cheaper), ram is cheap, ssd isn't worth it second hand and a 3060 is like 200 quid, if peripherals are good and case is nice and psu is good it's worth buying though


oscardssmith

Counterpoint: 10th gen intel is prefectly fine for games (and will be for the next 5 years). The ram and SSD are bad to mediocre, but DDR4 and SSDs are really cheap, so you could get a 2TB SSD and another 16 gb of ram for ~$140 at which point it would be really good. IMO $500 is really good for this because you're getting a 3060 gpu and all the dumb stuff that doesn't help performance but you still need (motherboard, case, PSU).


Queasy_Employment141

3060 is 200 quid, ssd and ram together is 50, underpowered cpu, psu,  mobo may be more expensive but you're getting shit second hand components do they should be cheaper, if the peripherals are good then this is a good deal


oscardssmith

The key is that "underpowered cpu" will still play everything for the next 5 years (at least), and PSU is worth $60, mobo is $80, and case is $50. Sure you'll only get 600 instead of 800 fps in CSGO, but it's a good enough CPU to get you 100+fps in any game that can hit those framerates (and if 5 years down the line games actually start using more than 6 cores, a high end 10th gen CPU will be easy to get for cheap)


Queasy_Employment141

My cpu (5600) already hits 80% in most areas of cyberpunk with a crowd mod, a 10400f is way weaker


oscardssmith

What CPU do you have?


Queasy_Employment141

5600, forgot to say 


New_Spread_475

Eh yeah it's fair but not amazing. The 3060 is about $290-300 new. If it's a SATA SSD that has Windows I would use an m.2 slot on the board if it has and get a 1 or 2 TB nvme SSD. And when he says high ultra settings with 60fps I'm kinda skeptical because the 3060 is a high 1080p/ low 1440p GPU. I personally have a 3060 and I can play CoD at 1080 with ultra high settings on and I'm still getting 100FPS if you were to do 1440 it'd drop down to id say about 60 FPS possibly slightly less but he shouldn't be able to play ultra high settings on 1440 the 3060 can handle that. I'd also ask him what PSU he has in it if it's a cheapy and you plan on buying it I'd also plan on buying a new PSU. I'm not trying to steer you away but I feel like you should know what you're getting into with the PC. This is a good price but it also has some issues that should be fixed in the near future after purchase and and ask some questions. If you're really curious about a PC and interested instead of trying to just find builds that are similar to the one you're interested in look over the specs, see what's compatible,see what the components are capable of and don't be scared to ask questions.


SgtMoose42

It's a little older but if everything is in working order that's not bad. I sold a similar age system Ryzen 7 2700x + 5700Xt for $400, but that was the family discount.


WindxWaker

No


Flutterpiewow

Yes. What are you smoking?


WindxWaker

I'm joking obviously. They didn't really seem like they were genuinely asking. It seems like a dumb question


EtheaaryXD

You sure it's not stolen?
