So I was planning on purchasing a PC and one of my dad's friends are selling a PC for £350 and I don't know a lot about PC's and I was wondering if this PC was any good. If you coould let me know what type of questions I should ask him when I go to see if is good, that would be great.

Let me know your opinion about this PC and if it is worth £350

(I copied and pasted his message)

• Cooler Master Gaming Tower in Very Clean Condition
• 21.5" Acer Monitor
• 1 x Sub-Woofer and 5 x Satellite Speakers Configuration
• DELL Standard Keyboard

• Intel Core i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz (Turbo up to 3.60GHz)
• Wifi Dongle for Fast Wireless Internet (1200Mbps, USB 3.0)
• 256GB SSD + 320GB HDD Harddrive Combo

At a glance, I wouldn't say it's "worth" £350 these days, to me at least - a lot of it is quite dated &/or entry level.
Overall, forms a solid mid-range PC for the types of titles they're listing...

In strict 'value', maybe £120 for the CPU/MB/RAM, £70 for the GPU - that's probably your 'big ticket' items of the bunch.

Maybe £20-£30 for the SSD+HDD, £40 for the monitor+ peripherals....

Assembled, ready to go, I wouldn't be prepared to pay a penny over £250 if I needed such a system - but if they're providing warranty, or is the person you'd go see if you have an issue (and they wouldn't charge you), then maybe, to a new user, it might (just about) make sense.

For £350, you could assemble a modern system (Ryzen3, DDR4... maybe a 1650-1660).... which really skews pricing on older hardware.
