[SOLVED] Is this PC a good deal?

[LeachC]

Hi All,

First post here, I'm looking at purchasing a new PC (My first custom PC) for video editing 4k Raw data (5 minute videos or less) and the occasional gaming on very good settings. I've fount this used PC on Ebay and believe it to be a good deal but unsure? Any help would be appreciated, the specs are the below and the cost is £1,350 GBP. Thank you.

There are a number of issues with the build. First is the PSU. The vs is a rather poor PSU for such a PC. The wattage is fine but the things inside are rather lower end. Second issue is you get an 8700 and not an 8700k. This matters because most wouldn't pair the 8700 with a z390 board. That board is for OCing and the 8700 doesn't oc. Next issue is the 2133MHz ram. This whole build just screams basic low end parts. And that scares me. If I'm spending over one thousand pounds i want a better pc than what you are getting. I'm not familiarwith uk pricing however so that might be what you get. I'd look elsewhere though.

I don't see how that machine costs £1,350 when a 2080Ti costs almost that much by itself....

I agree though:
PSU is junk
RAM is slow
SSD is probably low end, and 240GB is too small.

**I guess if it's not a complete hoax (which it very well may be), then yes, it's a very good deal. Even if you have to upgrade/swap out a few components on your own.

Seems too good to be true, especially with that GPU.

You can usually tell if the seller has little to no reviews.

Mind posting the link?
