spitballing and gpu availability

droidy001

I'm after a sanity check here.

 

After reading another thread I looked into possibility of getting a 30 series within a week without paying scalpers. Heres what I came up with.

For around £450 I can get a custom prebuilt with the following.

Ryzen 5 3400g

Asus prime b450

8gb corsair ram

240gb nvme

cheapo antec case

Power supply is an unkown. (edit: after a little bit of research it looks like it would be a corsair cv450)

No os

 

For an extra £390 I can add an EVGA 3060 xc Gaming

 

So it would be around £840. The idea is to harvest the gpu and sell on the rest, with a windows 10 pro instalation, which would be a very capable entry level gaming pc.

Would it be unreasonable to expect around £400 for that?

OCUK have the 11400 in stock for £170.   3400gs were selling well recently, but I'm not sure you'd get £400 for one now 2nd hand (The system, or split).  

You might actually consider the 3060 to be worth closer to 500 if you want it for Daz, gaming and some mining.  That said  UK power pricing means mining won't be viable forever.

I've been doing back of a fag packet calculations. My thinking was the 3400g system with windows comes in at just over £600. So £400 seemed pretty good for a system that had been switched on once to install windows. Might have purge of my unused tech stuff and current gpu, see how close I can get to that £840.
