Hey everyone!
I have been looking to buy or make a second PC for streaming (encoding and screencapture), I have a basic understanding for what I need and have been looking at used hardware.
What age is in the "danger zone" for used hardware such as a CPU or motherboard?
I am currently looking at buying used computer parts;
I7 2600k (sell claims never overclocked)
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 LGA motherboard + 4x4GB 1600MHZ DDR3 RAM
Is that a good purchase?
Thanks everyone!
Edit: I forgot to add a price! I saw an ad for $300 CAD, going to try and lowball for $250.
And to clarify I do have a high end rig for gaming, this one will simply be for capturing and rendering/encoding content
