Ok man, pc is used, cant get no info on the psu and motherboard. I don't really know much about pc's and parts. All i would like is to buy a pre-assembled pc under 1000$ that is gonna used like 99% of the time for gaming. It would be great if it could run AAA games in high or medium settings. Any link or type of pc i could buy would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Used that price is way too high, you can build one for the same cost cheaper. It should be about $400 used for those parts. 32 gb of RAM is adding too much to the cost, and the 1050 Ti used should be under $100.

Issue with buying pre-built computers is that they cheap out on quality in some major areas like the power supply. Even if you don't know much about...

Almost yes. If it is totally from new parts/brand new. Seems good for moderate everyday/working/mid-spec-gaming use.
A server type relatively good CPU, large amount of ram, nice ssd & hdd & 4gb gaming video card.
Seems kind of OK, despite me not knowing much about xeons. Maybe I would want 550 to 700 usd for such a thing.
If it is used, you may find better options with assembling a PC urself. I always assemble my things, even if new, cuz I can and it almost always comes cheaper.
But if I wasn't able to assemble my things and I didn't have knowledges, I think I would just take it.

This is what I think if u have just-some referent PSU and motherboard. Can u share them? And does it come with licensed windows 10 and if yes, what version (pro/home/etc)?

Here 2 other ones. U can also write "gtx 1650 super desktop" in amazon. Or rtx 2060 or another video card between 1050 ti and rtx 2060 in the row of performance + the word 'desktop' . techpowerup.com can help u in this. Gtx 1650 and1050 ti also can, but depending on the games, they may more often force u turn down settings.

Best Nvidia cards for someone with your needs. There are also radeon equivalents. Sorry for the table not easily editable:
GTX 1650
GTX 1650 SUPER
GTX 1660
GTX 1660 SUPER
GTX 1660 Ti
RTX 2060

Issue with buying pre-built computers is that they cheap out on quality in some major areas like the power supply. Even if you don't know much about computers I'm sure you have friends or relatives that can help you. Even without being in the same area due to virus restrictions, you can buy the parts, they can build it for you and drop it off on your porch or something or help you build it over a video call.

Ryzen 5 1600 AF $85 https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07XTQZJ28

Asrock B450M $80 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FVYKFXF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Corsair CX Series 550 $70

16 GB RAM Kit $80 https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Ball...ild=1&keywords=ddr4+ram&qid=1586981441&sr=8-3

GTX 1660 Super $230

$615 total for new parts. You can even save $20 on a case if you are OK with something cheaper and not as nice and another $60 on the card if you want to drop down settings in games to save some money.

You're ging to really struggle to get a good deal for a pre-built at that price, particularly with options limited. If you want to play modern games those setups are going to struggle.

It's hard to say without knowing all the parts. The potential of the PSU destroying the whole system is something that has to be taken into account, so if possible I'd try asking the seller what all of the components are first. I mean those GPU's can handle modern games on low/medium settings at 1080p in some cases but you might be limited by DD3 RAM etc. so there's a drawback on all of them unfortunately. If you twisted my arm I'd say the latter one since it has a better GPU, and maybe adding DDR4 RAM (if the motherboasrd allows for it, which is a big if) when you can. But that HD is going to fill up with just one game and the OS, so that's another issue...

I think the best advice would be to wait until you can get something delivered from abroad. Because you will quite likely regret paying for a system you're unhappy with a few months down the line.

I'd rather defer to someone more experienced than me. Any configuration from that seller in your price range is better than anything you posted. You alos never stated if you need a monitor, windows etc.

That one I posted comes with Windows but not a monitor. Adding a monitor means you're going to get a slightly less good one, but that seller does sell complete sets with monitors. I wouldn't normally recommend it but since you're so limited this is at least better than your other options, though maybe a little over budget - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GAMER-KO...hash=item3425b67758:m:mBLjxG01AZLmBW4iAeEkdYA

I don't speak German so I can't read it all, but the components are obvious. It will at least play at medium settings and maybe high. I don't know anything about the PSU and the RAM could be better (higher mhz) but you're a bit stuck for choice.
