Mean so far I've seen a 1200 used for £90 which clearly is no bargain and a 1500x for £120 which is fair, but is used actually worth it, I know I've said about if I go ryzen I'll just get the 1200, but obviously if I faster version can be had used for not much more then I'd be game.


Basically I'm on gum trying to secure some part complete system for £30, it could sound too good to be true, but might be really good buy, it has the following..

Gigabyte AB350M-HD3
Evga 600 BQ psu
FTS or whatever midi gaming case in so so condition


So it needs a cpu, cooler, ram that I would need to buy which on this site is £203.88 For 1200 & 8gb dark pro kit,

I have replaced my evga supernova with the corsair tx650 to store away for a new build in time as it's just too good to sell with my acer, so I could Sell or keep that 600BQ for spare, just seems for £30 it might be stupid to pass on if they don't sell it due to slow responses.
 
Thanks for reply, don't quite know what you mean by BDie?


I'm not personally looking for AM4 or anything really, I just like to look, but for £30 if it all checks out could be a nice start to a budget build using the new platform, my SFF thinkcentre 73 looks to have a purposed backplate so changing the board if possible wouldn't be straight forward and rather keep it original on that front, so this AM4 if I could get it would be going in to a small m-atx cube or maybe a HTPC case that's flat, but takes ATX psu and full height cards like those grande or whatever silverstones, just not the 09 that be quite big.

Unless I could get an APU that would better my 4150 i3 then I'd just go with ryzen, I would use my gt 610 as temps as it came with full height bracket though my issue would be windows, I have 10 pro on my haswell, but that's because seller upgraded from its original 8 pro and I know ryzen doesn't support win 7 to be able to do the free upgrade to 10.
