Are the CPU and mobo used? The Ryzen 3 1300X is fairly old at this point (5 years), so it's going to be hard to compare it to components in the "new" market.
Is it an improvement over your current system? Sure
I'd still recommend spending a bit more for longevity if you can.
Maybe see what the exact brand/model of the mobo is and the MHz of the RAM and see what he'd want for just those two? We could see what other CPUs the mobo is capable of running. B450 boards should be able to run a Ryzen 5000 series CPU.
