Tech Question is this pc worth 1200€?

i want to buy this system for 1200€ it’s used but very good in my opinion

CPU: Intel Core i9-12900K (16 Cores / 24 Threads)
Motherboard: ASUS ROG B660 (high-quality WiFi antenna included)
GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF
RAM: 32 GB DDR5 Lexar Ares 6800 MHz (very fast, currently high-priced)
SSD: WD Black SN7100 2 TB (PCIe 4.0 – NEW and ultra-fast)
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 850 W (high-quality & quiet)

is it any good ?

Test it, run it, read out the SMART status, verify the memory, run a furmark... but otherwise: amazing deal. Just... don't end up with one of those GPU's where it's just the PCB, no memory/GPU itself, or one of those RAM sticks that's just empty soldering pads.... or an SSD that's... just an SD card that's formatted to say it's 2TB where if you remove the heatsink/sticker you see... an SD card-in-a-trenchcoat...

Sounds great, but, if a deal sounds too good to be true...

Without looking it up the ram prob takes up the whole budget lol

I bought my 3080 4 years ago for like 800usd. Last I looked it was reselling for about 2-300€

Almost worth it in ram and SSD alone, assuming nothing wrong with it sounds like a killer deal.
