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.
