Question Help with Second-hand purchase from Fb Marketplace

[MowgliKP]

Hi guys,

Looking at purchasing this listing on fb marketplace for my bf. He's currently eeking out a GTX1070 gaming laptop. Is super into new games etc but we're not ready for a full super build just yet. I thought this might be a good start? We have no peripherals either yet (cause laptop). What do you guys think about the listing? Is there anything we should watch out for? Been in touch with seller re. mobo, its an ASUS prime b450-plus... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You will first need to parse the link for the item listed in order for us to look at. In fact, the best thing you could do is take a screenshot of the specs for the system being sold and then host the image on Imgur or their ilk and then parse the link on this thread for us to see.

If that's hard to do, parse the specs to the build like so:

CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:

Also find out what the age of the PSU is apart from it's make and model.

That appears to be a fair price. Ask what the make/model of the power supply is.

Doesn't seem to be too bad.

If you do get it, your very first move should be a full wipe and reinstall of the OS and whatever else.
Even if the seller said he did it just 5 minutes ago.
