Part time as i said for school , dont have to know what every single fn component is worth to fix computers right? Your not helping so why bother commenting??

If you dig far enough into the forum rules (and you do have to dig) you'll find that asking for valuations like this isn't permitted.

It's mentioned in the Members Market section here https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/help/boardUsage/

At current intel prices thats an ok deal.

It's your first post and as already mentioned price specs are not really allowed - but your new so you weren't to know... (perhaps edit out the price - and rephrase the question to 'Would this system be good for gaming at 1080p?' - as you effectively have your answer now.)

If it's a K series CPU it will be the 8600K and that combined with the rest of the components make it a tidy little system for the money.

I would confirm the Corsair PSU model, as it could be a few years old. And the GTX 1050Ti is a very capable card @ 1080p but when Xmas comes along i would swap it out for a 1660Ti/RTX2060/RTX2070 or similar as this will boost your gaming experience massively and bring the system bang up to date and the system is worth the expense if you find that you're pushing the 1050Tis limits.

Oh, and learn to overclock if you're buying a K series CPU - the cooler will cope if it's the AIO.

What monitor do you own?

For €400? Are you kidding me? Take it without thinking.

Thanks for the help and sorry for mistakes... i currently have a ryzen 3 1200 with 8gb ddr4 and 750ti(pos)

Corsair 650 or 750?
I'd be a little suspicious if they "don't know" what parts are in the PC their selling you.

To me the opening post reads as Krusty0921's bad memory, not the bad memory of the seller.

Yes my bad memory ughh. Has nothing to do with the thread. Also i had pc for maybe 30minutes to test so rather than wasting time memorizing i wanted to make sure it functions

Apologies, usually this is a red flag if the seller does it, wasnt trying to have a dig at you.
