So ive recently decided to make the jump and invest finally on a PC. To save some money, I decided to get a used one. I finally narrowed down my options to two choices either a laptop (i5 4210H, 8gb ddr3, gtx 960m 2gb, 180€) or a desktop (i3 3220, 8gb ddr3, rx 550 4gb, 240€). The desktop is like an oem machine with the video card thrown in there and cleaned (has a year warranty).
Now, I have a couple of questions which I thought about and I thought that the experts out there could help a newbie like me.
1. Would I be able to play games like for example, GTA V, PUBG and CS:GO on like 720p or 1080p settings while at 60fps avg? Prefferred quality would be like low-med.
Would they be able to last me atleast like 1 to 2 years of upcoming games?
Should I just build my own pc instead of buying a used one?
And finally, are those even good deals for used hardware?
Thanks in advance!
Update : Not sure if this is worth mentioning but, I found another laptop with an i7 4710HQ, 16gb of ddr3 ram and a gtx 860m for 300€.
