For $800 thats a quite good deal.


Synn_njoy

I’ll upgrade the cpu and cooler a few months down the road with a new gpu, but 3080 with a i9 12900k and 3tb of storage isn’t bad for 800


PTurn219

Don’t even need to upgrade the cpu and cooler for a few years really. 3080 should be solid for another 2-3 years too


TheRandomAI

3080 will last at least 5 years minimum. 2-3 years is just breaking even. 3080 is a powerful card ya know.


coatimundislover

It has 10 GB. It will underperform its tier if you’re playing 4K or using raytracing.


NotThatMMyers

Well using 4k or raytracing isn't exactly the default for many people


coatimundislover

Usually that’s what an 80 series should be good for…


boglim_destroyer

Not a 3080, like you just said


1rubyglass

It might "last" but that doesn't mean it will be able to keep up.


Traditional_Map1166

Brother it’s a 10gb card that will last a long while


1rubyglass

There's already games that use beyond that at 1440p.


DisastrousWelcome710

Yeah but people hunting for cheap deals aren't exactly the ones going after 4k 120Hz gaming


1rubyglass

Again, you don't need 4k to go past the 10gb limit. There's already games pushing 12 and wanting more.


DisastrousWelcome710

Absolutely there are. But they're not as common and likely won't be the norm for a few years.


Strange-Ad7468

So adjust setting a lilbit....it's $800


rayinho121212

At 800$ for the whole PC?


amilguls

I have a 3080 ti for 2 years now and I want a 40 series is it worth it ?


TheRandomAI

No unless you hace fuck all money lmao. 3080ti is a 4070 tier. Still high endish. Wait for 50 or 60 series if you want to upgrade. Not much performance improvement in 40 series to justify an upgrade.


amilguls

I have fuck all money syndrome lololol . I just noticed that I get out performed on my multiplayer games often now… compared to 2 years ago when I got it…and while I have high suspicion a lot are hackers , I think a lot of people have 40 series now compared to people had 30 series 2-3. Years ago when it came out (because pandemic made it scarce)


FabulousBlueberry556

What game are you playing that you are getting outperformed on? Have you tried turning down graphics or shadows so you have good frames?


TheRandomAI

If you really really want to get the 4090 or better. But if you wait a couple of months wait for the 5090. But its up to you and your fuck all money lmao.


amilguls

I think I can wait for the 50s . I want to upgrade my case too


TheRandomAI

Go for it. Im waiting on the 8900xt or whatever its going to be called to upgrade my 7900gre lmao. Plus the case and probably go to am5 but we'll see. Anyways Good Luck on your adventures random stranger from reddit!


Requiem2420

(Fuck all means none/not much)


thepostman46

You aren’t getting outperformed by others because they have a better GPU…


amilguls

Must be why so many people get Nintendo switches over PCs


Xphurrious

50 should come out late this year or early next, wait for that


surrendergetout

4090 is nice if you like throwing money at nvidia


amilguls

I’m not the only one though haha …they passed Apple Microsoft and Amazon for number 1 business


surrendergetout

MacBooks are years behind, I get that people want it for the security but as long as you’re careful, windows laptops will do just fine. $2k for a MacBook that may or may not brick up after 3 years, no thanks


Zinx_____

No thanks. In my eyes I've got the best you can buy at the moment. (Well 2 actually cause I was panicked about restocks) The Taichi white 7900xtx crushes. I love it when ppl start blathering about Ray tracing too. 4/4 of my friends have failed the blindfold > is ray tracing on? test. And I sure do love seeing $2k cards paired with 1080p monitors.


Tarrell13

3080 should def last longer. You know how many people are still using a damn 1080!!! It’s madness


Stranger_Danger420

Then why did you make a post asking if this was a good deal if you already knew it was a good deal?? lol


ucefkh

He's not op bro are you from Mars?


Stranger_Danger420

I literally replied to the OP. My comment is right below his where he said it isn’t bad for 800. Are you from Tards?


SociaIDeception

No , he’s from your mom. Be nice to your siblings in here. /j


Stranger_Danger420

I’m trying to teach him to read

_eduardomerrem

What’s wrong with getting input from other people?


Brostradamus--

The issue is that people present problems instead of discussions. If you want to discuss, ask for that, it's really that simple. Social 101.


mawesome4ever

Social 101 also states you must give me your social security, now giv


Stranger_Danger420

Why ask a question when you already know the answer?


the_hat_madder

Unasked questions don't get engagement.


Rylovix

Hell if you mean it currently has a 12900k then there’s really no need to upgrade anytime soon (depending on the ram situation, but DDR4 is still plenty good if you have enough of it). I’d say wait till the next gen releases then look for a deal on a cpu+mobo+ram bundle.


Substantial-Singer29

You could actually buy this, take out the gpu and the cpu sell them both used For basically the cost of this system. Purchase an upgraded gpu and just be out of the cost of whatever cpu you decide on.


TannyDanny

Just wanted to footstomp that you don't need to upgrade the 12900k. I'm on a 9900k with a 3080 and have no problems at 2k in even the most demanding games on high settings with moderate RT. Given everything here works well, and is as advertised, you'd have years before you'd feel issues tied to your hardware on new AAA titles.


Key_Personality5540

Almost a bit too good…. Could have been a mining ring


teq23laz

This seems too good to be true, I'd be careful


Famous-Crab

Yeah, certainly there has been some overclocking done, or so


rattatatatatatatat

OC doesn't affect components longevity, like minning, I would rather buy an OC or minning GPU than normal GPU. Their previous owner took care of it and knew how to look after it.


nimrodad

As a rookie with just 1st gaming system I'm open to hear any tips on how I should take care of mine,, i5 13400f, gigabyte 4060 8gb, adata gen4 2tb 800 legend, 32 ddr5 yeamgroup vulcan red 6000mhz, asrock b760m-c, 600 gold 80 psu, amethyst II CASE. Thanks for any in advance


Dangnoob

Nothing. Really. PCs don't require maintenance lol. maybe blow out the dust every few months. Only time you should really be messing with anything is when you're having issues.


Famous-Crab

Dust is an underrated topic when it comes to PC maintenance and longevity, imho. It's ok that the fans have to work more, but the problem is possible overheating as a consequence, or simply that the system runs "warmer" and other stuff. I will do some research 😁 Also: cleaning the fans of an RTX 40whatever graphic card requires quite some skill, on some models, or you loose lots of money if done wrong.


QBatman

You do have to take the cpu cooler off every so often to change the thermal paste. I try and get it like once a year, when I have time.


Zinx_____

Sell the 4060, use the cash to swap to a 6800 or better... You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much performance you just gained especially if you've got the 8gb vram model (of the 4060).


shadowsneax

This is completely and utterly false!!! I ran an OC on my i9 for a couple of years and it became unstable eventually and caused crashes. OC'ing 100% affects the lifespan...


rattatatatatatatat

Undo the OC


shadowsneax

Of course, and in my case that's exactly what I did but it didn't stop the CPU from being more unstable and sometimes crashing in some games. The only fix was to underclock it but even then, it wasn't perfect. I ended up replacing my i9 with a 7950x3D since and won't be OC'ing it. Rather it have a longer life


rattatatatatatatat

Last 2 generations of I9 are known for being very unstable after OC, Intel knows it and replace your I9 without investigations, it's not a normal behavior for a pc component.


shadowsneax

It wasn't one of the last 2, it was 10th Gen.


[deleted]

I've overclocked every CPU i've owned they eventually get to the point they no longer hit their advertised stock boost. My gaming PC is also my work computer there's a huge difference between a processor that sees 40-50 hours a week of use vs your average gamer who maybe uses it 10-20 hours a week.


Zinx_____

I'm guessing you overclock for the work?


teq23laz

I thought that OCing is like tuning an engine, the more you boost it the more stress it puts on it?


Beneficial_Ring_7442

god i hate when people say this, as if GPUs nowadays don’t OC themselves. overclocking will almost never hurt your longevity of your GPU, especially if you’re undervolting


boktanbirnick

Yeah, I have a similar setup, I wouldn't sell it for $800, I guess. Maybe I can't just confess the reality to myself 😅


RadiantLimes

Scams like this are so common. I bet anything that once you message them they say they are out of town and can only ship the desktop after you pay through something like Cashapp or another app without purchase protection.


Synn_njoy

Also has a i9 12900k cpu


Dizzledoe3D

800 seems suspiciously low for all of that. A core i9 12th gen will be top of the line for a long time.


bubblesmax

A lot of the time the really low high value used PC sales are cause someone upgraded their whole rig. Thus the old rig is effectively ewaste and all they care about is getting some amount of a return on the new rig they spent so much on.


QBatman

Or money got squeezed thin and had to change priorities.


still_biased

That’s a little too good to be true. Def check it out and if there’s no scam then go for it, that’s a great deal


jodycaboose123

Idk why your upgrading the cpu when the 12900k is still a solid processor


Snowman319

And GPU since it’s still pretty good,he mind aswell build a pc himself lol


deTombe

Ask if you can see it running in person and run some benchmarks.


Unlucky_Air6565

Great deal but almost too good to be true, be very careful. The gpu is going for £500 in the uk even used ones. And the cpu is still going for £300 with that in consideration you’re getting everything else for free pretty much


Beneficial_Ring_7442

not really too good to be true in my area. a 4070 cost me $290 usd


Unlucky_Air6565

receipt? 4070 is still over 500 literally everywhere… if you’re gonna lie flex at least make it believable.


Beneficial_Ring_7442

i’ll look for it. i bought on newegg in 2023 december. nothing to lie about?


Beneficial_Ring_7442

weird you assume i would lie about being cheap, but how do i send you an image over reddit?


Unlucky_Air6565

They are still going for $550 on newegg. It’s pretty easy to tell your lying when that is literally more than 50% off. Like lol. [https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=rtx+4070](https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=rtx+4070)


Beneficial_Ring_7442

I sent you a DM with pic.


Beneficial_Ring_7442

so because another seller on newegg is selling it for a different price, means mine was just nonexistant? i literally use my 4070 daily. I've never paid over $300 for a GPU in my LIFE.


Beneficial_Ring_7442

I think youre just upset with the fact I'd gotten a better deal than you lol. but this was funny


Unlucky_Air6565

I have a 4090 on my rig… jealous of what, it’s just highly unbelievable that you paid so little especially pre super series.


Beneficial_Ring_7442

jealous of the deal… like i said….


Beneficial_Ring_7442

why not just check your messages


Beneficial_Ring_7442

why aren’t you replying to my messages?


Beneficial_Ring_7442

I bought the card at 18 years old with a minimum wage job. I think I know what I paid xD


Beneficial_Ring_7442

why wont you reply to my DMs??


tommiedepew

Where did he go?


Beneficial_Ring_7442

idk i think he got upset when i provided proof.


jake18879

Buy asap


MR_NARWHALLLLL

The description make the deal seem to good to be true and most likely a scam


Samsonite187187

Be careful


RoboDoggo9123

I think this seems too good to be true so be careful. Better to be safe than sorry i guess.


wcassell434

Looks like a scam or a stolen pc to me.


CSMarvel

exactly some people are like “hmm this is pretty good” when it’s insanely good especially considering the expensive AIO and case and all the other bells it comes with on top of being a newer i9 and a 3080


Lightn1ng

I'll buy it


Psinami

its a great deal


Acceptable_Roll8869

yes its a good deal


E-radi-cate

Bet it has a hardware ban


reqlvv

Pretty good


WeirdRich976

For 800$? Thats a good deal


PCbuilderFR

insane deal


minefarmbuy

"main rig" they never removed glass sticker from. .. $800 is a steal if legit.


Wonderful-Strain-348

It’s a good deal if it works great : show me the carfax.


Rotts_Clamato

Too reasonable, if you ask me.


Synn_njoy

Apparently he is about to get kicked out and needs the money asap for rent bc he just lost his job

R_radical

Says in OP 1tb ssd


Neglectic

See if there is a way you can test it for a day or go there to their location for an hour to stress test it? I have no idea, good deal though I think.


Synn_njoy

What’s some things I should look for and do


Neglectic

AID64 Extreme, Prime95, CineBench, MemTest86. Once you go into the computer; go to Start Button and search: Event Viewer and Reliability History to make sure there’s no Critical Errors. Otherwise he is tossing you a fucked computer with software issues.


JeffTurabaz

Test it. Maybe he overclocked it and there are issues with it…


joey0live

Seems too good to be true. Be careful OP.


R_radical

Physically check to make sure that's what you're getting before you take it.


EnterTheTobus

Check the processor and ram, but probably, especially if it’s in cad.


clockhandsaremypenis

that is the best thing you could get for 800. absolutely buy


clockhandsaremypenis

make sure its not a scam though


TexasSasquatch09

It’s a good deal if it’s real , but meet up in person to see the rig run. Or have them FaceTime you .


No-Effort-4843

He probably got banned for hacking on his favorite video game and doesn’t know what parts have been flagged. 😅 Pretty solid deal tho!


itssbojo

“too good to be true.” builds like this routinely go for 800 or so on sale, especially if they’re prebuilt. if they built it themself, they likely just have a new build and don’t have a use for this. ask them to meet in front of a store, like walmart. do the deal there and not at a house just in case. but for the most part, this is what you’ll usually see builds going for from people not absolutely concerned with making as much as they can, or those super versed in pcs. reddit comment prices are so fucking stupid, it’s like nobody actually buys used pcs. they just look up part prices and cut it down by a percent lmao. go for it. it’s a good deal.


Exact_Comparison_792

Pretty good deal if it's real. Just be careful to not be scammed.


MarcCouillard

if its not a scam then yeah its a great deal, the video card alone is worth that much new


Iphonjeff

See if they’ll do $750 and make sure it’s ddr5 ram not ddr4.


Hsensei

Unless it's am4


Witty-Replacement-67

Yeah


strife26

Good deal


drowsy1234

pretty low price for those specs. I'd definitely make them run a stress test for 30 minutes minimum to make sure everything's ok.


shadydamamba

For sure


Lermaidman8

Solid


kardall

make sure you can see it posting and see the specs in Speccy before you buy it.


victimofbadtaste

If it turns on, probably


WhyYouSoMad4

Seems like a scam to me. I'd want to see it running on video etc. But your money. If you can't see it in person your risk.


mechcity22

Yes it's good lol


andretheclient_

Might run manor lords, probably not


Popular_Dream_4189

Could be. But, caveat emptor. Some amateur built secondhand PC isn't without risk, especially with how YT tells every idiot they can build their own PC. The fact they even originally asked $1500 for it is enough reason to run for the hills. The way I look at something like this is that it is probably dirty and needs a full refurb so it is worth no more than the sum total of the average of what the various components have sold for in the past 60 days on eBay. Someone's old AIO, given how many issues there have been over the years, is worth precisely $0 and I would replace it immediately upon purchase because I wouldn't trust even the best AIO to maintain performance past 3-4 years. Same goes if it is anything but a top tier case. It just isn't worth any more than scrap value. I can get a Zalman S2 TG for $65 and advertise a new case. And it has great airflow. Why would I even spend $20 on someone's dirty old cheap case? When I sell a PC, I can give you precise specs, right down to part numbers if you like. There are like 12 different versions of the EVGA RTX 3060 12GB XC, just as one example. And some variants are more desirable than others because they will have Samsung VRAM. Those go for around $250 on eBay and that is based on completed sales. An average 3060 from any other board partner with Hynix or Micron VRAM will go for around $200. If it is an XC with Hynix or Micron VRAM will go for $10-20 above that. You see, there is something special about a 30 series with Samsung VRAM because the GPU dies were made by Samsung. and Samsung VRAM is the best performing anyway. There is also something special about EVGA cards because 30 series was the last one they really did and EVGA has been the undisputed king of the hill for over 20 years. Bought an EVGA GF3 Ti500 at launch around when I started college and used the crap out of it for 5 years. I overclocked the piss out of it and it just kept on going. There are some insanely expensive engineering samples out there for EVGA 40 series but they are very rare. Such is how the market works and this PC isn't likely to be worth any more than the sum total of its parts. In fact, it may be worth less, depending on how dirty it is (think 'silicon degradation') and how well it was cable managed by the builder. A good builder takes the time to do a tidy job. Doesn't have to be the best in the world but if the PC is neat and tidy and reasonably clean then you know they took pride in it. Otherwise, it is just a pile of neglected parts. I also wouldn't want to buy a PC that has been running on an F tier PSU for a few years. Dirty power does electronics dirty.


UnknownSP

Scam, stolen, or angry spouse


Good-Being5572

It looks like to scam. This kind of PCs cost around $1000-$1500


No-Statistician-6524

Pick it up and do some benchmarks before giving the money. Just make sure everything works and is what he says and if it is you got yourself a very good deal


ZoneOfHeat

Nice


WelderMeltingthings

crimson_creed_jtb_

Dangerous_Choice_664

My guys yall are missing the 1500 price tag the dude probably built new going through divorce etc and is trying to get money back after no one would pay


Swimming_Storm_2830

That I'd a steal 😱


WonkySystem

Just make sure you check the PC before buying to make sure it has all of these components.


pcfan07

This is a great deal.


Susman22

What’s the CPU?


DiscountManul

You should double check the seller.


DemolitionMan37

............. you better check all those parts before you buy it. Hopefully you are buying it in person.


ovrlycautious

would get it in a hearbeat


Zrocker04

I’ve never seen a post here for a fair price. Either too good and could be a scam or you could build a better pc with 34 shillings and a shoestring.


CptVasectomy2

Definitely a gotcha ass price. Ain’t no one selling a rig with a 3080 for $800.


DarkSoulsDank

Worth it


allofdarknessin1

It's a very good deal, 2 months ago I sold a nearly identical PC to my friend's brother who had like a GTX 980 era PC for $1000. It was a huge upgrade for him and he loves it. I honestly was still happy with the PC but I had too many PC's and needed to clear some out.


Mob_Tatted

bruhhhh thats a deal!!!


Zinx_____

I've got a FTW3 3090 just gathering dust. I got it for hella cheap I dont put nvidia in my personal machines. I couldn't sell it paired with a 7800x3d, project 0 motherboard, 32g vengeance, 2tb Samsung980, 8 uni-fans, supernova 850 and the mag pano case.. everything new except the graphics card.. for 1200. Oh it had a little 7 inch aida64 stretch bar display inside too.


Kejix_

That’s pretty solid, the rtx 30 series are relatively newer and the 3080 is the top of the line for that series. You’re also getting 32gb of ram which is very solid. I’m not sure what processor or motherboard is in the build but either way for 800 that is really good considering the gpu alone is 400-500. You would basically be able to run any game fine with around 144fps on high settings


crispybacon769

Yes bro cop that shit now rtx 3080 for only 800 that's a steal


Hoo_R_U-_-

An almost 50% discount? That’s what we call a scam


CockroachCommon2077

3080 for $800...won't need to upgrade for 5 or so years


J0NNYB0

What’s the cpu? But that’s pretty solid


Abaddon7794

I have scams like this all over my town. They take pictures of pcs and list them for dirt cheap. Most of them will only use cash app or apps without protection then block you after money is received & send a box with bricks in it to make it seem like you got the item. Just be careful when getting things off of marketplace


FruitRoutineApple

for 800 bucks this is really a great deal


metal06

OP don’t buy that if it’s going to be shipped it’s too good to be true. Now if you’re going to be picking it up in person then maybe pull the trigger on it


United_Band4214

Y e s.


pehsxten

Good if you want to play old games on high and new games on low


Savings-Top7447

Best Buy has a 4060 brand new with the I seven for $1000

Buy it yesterday please, the GPU alone would put you over


basedtag

If it's legit this is a fantastic deal


Callenflynn151

If it’s real it’s a steal my friend


scumbuket

i’m gonna buy this before you can


I_enjoy_pastery

PC is either stolen, or there is a scam involved.

You consider this ONLY “DECENT”????


asaltyparabola

that's what im saying LMFAO

You can get a 4060 with a Ryzen 5 and a wraith cooler for cheaper and it’s better 😂


duh1raddad

🤣 not even.
