Is it a pick-me-up? If so, good pricing. The ram and ssd alone are worth more than the cost. If you intend to hold on to it for the long haul though, that's a worse idea. It has no upgrade paths, and all upgrades involve other upgrades to the point where starting fresh with 400-600 dollar build is better.

I once back in 2017 found a deal for a Phenom II based PC for around $50. I spent on upgrades and daily drove that b*tch for awhile. I Regarding the fan, It's easy to fix seized fans with some weed whacker motor (or any) oil, by lubricating the spindle. pop the blades off, use a q-tip, or syringe, pop it back in and spin em. I've done this with some fans I got in a trade with an older build.
On something like this, I'd be taking it a part first.... clean it up and put it back together..... upgrading the ram on the way and putting in the hard drive(s). definetly a recycled PC... they gave it away, and all you paid for was the shipping!

I have an ibuypower with a fx-6300 from back in the day. Upgraded the 1050 2gb to a 1650 4gb and upgraded ram to 16gb. With Bazzite linux on it the rig plays everything I used to play on windows just fine.
Squirrel the best cosplay :P Since you near the 10 year mark of Toasty Bros, have you consider something special, memorable or different for that ocasion?
I have a very similar system: AMD FX-6300 Zotac GTX 950 Asrock 970A-G/3.1 motherboard SSD 960 PRO NVMe M.2 512GB (yes the MB has an NVMe slot!) Two 8GB DDR3-1600 DIMMs DVD Drive Memory card reader Semi-modular PSU NZXT Source 210 case I am not a gamer so it works fine for my needs. Its not my primary system, might upgrade it to a AMD FX-8320E for the right price.
I would like it if you guys would test an inexpensive gaming PC, a bit better than this one, running some slightly older favorite games of yours. Battlefields? Wolfenstein? BioShock? Far Cry?
Amd FX was a great CPU, I built at least 15 of them and personally used one for 4 months as well I always go Asus 89% of the time and particularly with those AMD FX i used Asus board and that it was a great combo just both worked together perfectly and quite fast as well i had the GTX 760 OC in most of the 15 builds and few had GTX 660 if I remember correctly. im quite certain even in 2024 it's still a very capable system and the 900 series GTX overall a great combo everything!! $77 shiiter with tax ay yo what a hell of a score!! Just the 900 series GTX sells for 50 all day!! Even 65
yall idk if i did good or not but i bought a T5820 workstation with an xeon w-2125 and 16gb of ram 2tb storage for 150 and a gtx 980ti for 40 bucks. so far its running games i play very nicely
Two days ago I found and had to buy a Dell XPS desktop for 25 bucks at a garage sale. I was pleasantly surprised to find an i7 9700 and an RTX 2060 inside. The deals are out there, you just have to jump on them.
Wow thats crazy. Ive hit a few garage sales but have to get up early to beat the professional scavengers around here and ive never seen something like a rtx2060 wow
bought one from my local gamexchange for $124 without knowing a single spec about it solely because i could not pass up what could've been an amazing deal. it was not. fx 6300 cpu 4gb ddr3 ram. rx460 gpu. it was trash and now serves as a stand for my actual pc

Hot swap bays where the cheapest and fastest way to move heavy files. Hell, it probably still is because in general a hdd in a hotswap bay is faster then a usb based external drive or flashdrive. I installed a hotswap bay to my girlfriends computer and it made it real conveint to just swap in a whole hd full of movies.
I just found one the other day. Found an Alienware X51 R3 with the i7-6700, 16gb ram, missing hd, and a gtx 960 with original power brick for $95 with shipping
6 bay icy dock on my TrueNAS server loaded with SSDs. Got sick of having to pull the system out to get at internal drives if one started to fail. So yes, big fan of hot swap bays. Though I use it for easy access. I still power down before swapping out a bad drive.
What hurts this pc the most is single core ipc. Same weakness as when fx was current and competing with intel core 3rd and 4th gen. I remember an i3-4130 slapped the snot of a fx-8350 in terms of average fps and 1%lows.
run 1600 by 900 or 1440 x 900 or 1360by768 even if monitors 1080p on older cpus for fortnite it makes the game run way smoother and does not make it look much worse 82% res scale also helps.
this would be a good computer to get if you have other better parts that you can put in from previous builds that died for various reasons, like lets say the psu died on one and you can just transplant a better CPU, provided you got one that's compatible with the mobo, and a better gpu, then you might have something that might be able to keep up with newer games, if you're looking for something that runs older games just fine? then this pc might be great for those looking to play some classics.
My friend also calls it Roswell😂 it's Rosewill... Like Rose Will? Decent cheap brand. Also EVGA GTX 950 SC+ was my first card! Wasn't too shabby for just 2gb!

PLEASE do a video about the RX 560 4gb cards that fit in the 2.5" slot of a EliteDesk Mini 705 G4. You could build this tiny system for 200 bucks and mount it to the back of your tv and it will play esports and stuff like baldur's gate 3. The cards are 75 bucks on amazon and the elitedesk computers are like 75 bucks on ebay. slap some t force 16gb of ddr4 in there for another 30 bucks and maybe 30 bucks for an nvme and screw it onto the back of your living room TV
