I can build a much better build for 300 euros less; why should I buy your computer? Also, good luck gaming on a GT 730 (worse than the integrated graphics on the low end Ryzen APU). Parts are identical when possible, unless there's a cheaper and equally performing alternative (HDD), or much better (Ryzen 2700X vs Xeon E5-4620, the Ryzen is minimum 50% faster). Higher end parts were chosen when you didn't specify (Gold rated EVGA GPU, higher end overclocking motherboard, fast RAM, high end case fans). Only "worse" part is that an A400 is slower than a 850 EVO (there is NO 860 EVO in the 120GB variant) where price data was not available. This also has a 1050Ti, which is at minimum 4 times faster than a GT 730, and is on DDR4, which is the current standard of  RAM. This is also 100% new parts.

You can "scam" someone with an overpriced build on local used marketplace, but that's almost certainly not happening on a tech forum. Just because you probably paid $1600+ for your CPU doesn't mean it's worth that much today. You can even get a 16 core/32 thread processor for less than 700 Euros with faster clock speeds!

Since this is an auction, I'd be grateful if only bids were posted in the comments. Nevertheless, your comments are apreciated.

It's true that the computer might be a bit old; but it doesn't prevent it from being a good one.

The rgaphics card is not the best part of the computer, but it doesn't prevent me from playing PUBG/Arma 3 or other FPS at 1080 120FPS.

If I don't specify the details of some components, is because I'm brokering the sale for a friend, who has little knowledge of the Bitcoin forums/how everything works and he wants to get it posted in as many places as possible. I've asked him a bit more, and I got the following: the RAM memory is 1300 ecc/ecx(?)  and the motherboard is a Lenovo; model unknown.

Tell your friend that there is little to no chance he'll get 1600 + shipping for outdated hardware. If you lower the price then there might be interested, but from experience prebuilts are really hard to sell so you might want to consider parting out.

And according to you, what would a good price be for that computer? I'll see if I can have him change his mind about it though and create a new thread if I make it; since I cannot edit the one here

It's true that the computer might be a bit old; but it doesn't prevent it from being a good one.

Yes, but with a four year old low-end graphics card that is worse than the integrated graphics on a 100$ Ryzen 2200G, an outdated CPU, it's not worth 1600 Euros.

The rgaphics card is not the best part of the computer, but it doesn't prevent me from playing PUBG/Arma 3 or other FPS at 1080 120FPS.

I call BS, PUBG is still very optimized and struggles to run at 120 FPS on more modern graphics cards. Here's an all low settings, minus view distance test with a GT 730 @ 720p. It gets around 40 FPS, or lower. Yes, you have the 4 GB variant, but if you watch the vRAM usage, it doesn't max out. A GTX 660 is better, and at 900p, only manages 60-110 frames.

I've asked him a bit more, and I got the following: the RAM memory is 1300 ecc/ecx(?)  and the motherboard is a Lenovo; model unknown.

Fair enough. ECC throws a bit of a curveball, so a ECC build takes the cost up when building new to just below 1500 Euros. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2chqbX

That's still 100€ less than your starting bid, and has a CPU that is 50% better, a GPU that's 4 times faster, 100% new parts, has higher end motherboard/PSU/fans, much faster RAM and a more expensive case.

40 Euros for CPU
105 Euros for the motherboard
76 Euros for the RAM
32 Euros for the GPU

Buying everything else new is 426 Euros, for a total of 679 Euros.

I have to disagree with the price you have estimated for the GPU; the one you chose on ebay is not the Asus version; and I think that in terms of quality, it matters. Otherwise; I'll get in touch with him and suggest the new price. If anyone is willing to buy he/she can PM me now and once I have his updated price, I'll lock this topic; moving it to archival and create a new thread

Doesn't matter, it's a low end GPU that doesn't need good cooling. Get a brand new 1050Ti, and it's still a fraction of your starting bid.
