I've found a Asus vento A8 for 50€ including a monitor and a keyboard. I mainly want it for watching movies and series on my living room. Also, the seller told me that it turns off randomly. I have a spare power supply and also a motherboard with a CPU in case I need to change it but i don't really know what the problem is. I could probably sell the monitor and keyboard for 15-20€. Should I buy it?

If you are OK with gambling that a power supply swap will fix the shut off (which it may) that system may be worth 50. A8 CPU is good enough to run movies and streaming. But if you have a motherboard, CPU and power supply why not just use those, buy a cheap case, ram and drive and setup your own computer without wasting extra time? Will cost a bit more but at least you don't have to do double the work.
