I’ve been watching some threads about getting computer parts for sale to build a budget gaming rig, and as a beginner I’m a bit overwhelmed. I’m trying to put together a system without blowing my budget, and I’m curious about what parts are really worth investing in from used sales versus buying new.
Has anyone had success with snapping up deals on older CPUs, GPUs, or even motherboards? What should I be careful about when buying used parts online? Any tips on trusted sites or red flags that might indicate a bad deal?
Also, if you’ve built a budget gaming PC using parts that were on sale or second-hand, I’d love to hear about your experience and what you’d do differently if you could do it again. Thanks for any advice!
