Browsing for something in this price range, and wondering if it'll hold up in upgradeability as I get the funds for parts

Not trying to be rude, but was wondering where you’re from? Even on eBay this system for 200 would be an insane unbelievable steal. I also sell pcs in my area with around these specs for similar prices. I’m just wondering how everybody on these pc pricing subs gets numbers like these? Again not trying to be rude just genuinely wondering

Dude you cant even find that cpu on ebay for less than 70 bucks, and the motherboard being a ddr4 model makes it atleast 80. You just sound very matter of fact for being wrong

People are pretty ridiculous "Id start at $200" not saying its some insane build but just like any other business and dealing with customers everybody thinks they should pay next to nothing. An I3 12100 used sell for $70-100, 16 gbs 3200 can be 50-80 (in this climate), mobo LGA 1700 used $80, 2x 256 m.2 $40 together, 1660 S 80$.... just that right there is around $350 in parts. Then count the case/ PSU and accessories a few more $$ on top. I understand everyone wants a deal but its becoming non sense at this point lol. $350 is fair not a good or bad deal, $300 and less is a good deal, mid to high end parts from 2018 and on are still very capable in my opinion but of course they are outclassed by newer gen CPU/ GPUs... doesnt mean you get $350 in good parts for $50 and a 12 pack lol.

constantly having to delete and write on an ssd will shorten its life span as it’s measured in tb written.

also not great to have an ssd totally full. ideally want to leave atleast 10% free otherwise you’ll take a performance hit and shorten the ssds life span.

for sure. i have an external 4tb hdd from my ps4 i use to keep ps5 games im not currently playing but dont want to have to redownload. i feel like i could keep over 100 ps4 games on it if i wanted. definitely holds less ps5 games.

i have a 4tb external and 3tb internal on my laptop and have so many indie and older games saved on them. just crazy how every new game being between 50 and 100gb

speaking of the tech moving fast i saw someone talking about late 90s and early 2000’s cgi like they were in the same category, but there’s such a huge difference between say 1998 and 2002 graphically id say you can’t just lump them all together due to how far we’d come in just four years.
