Intel processors rarely fail on their own.
If it works day one, you are likely ok.

cpu should be fine, gpu would be a gamble, generally i try to stay away from used motherboard and gpu unless i trust the source

Do you know what new options you have available to you? Do any of those resellers sell an extended warranty on the parts?

well options would cost more i5 3470 is one of the best available cpus i can find in the market, and a new motherboard is pretty much necessary for anything recent asus h610 h510 b450 motherboards possibly or something along those lines and then we are looking at an entirely new system, it is something i would do maybe in a year or two but at the moment in no hurry i barely have weekends
