(Used) AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz 6-Core CPU

Back a million years ago during my college days, one of my friends asked me to help him build an ultra-budget PC that could run his favorite games. Being a newly-minted repair technician with a few successful builds under my belt, I felt like this was an easy challenge. "Can do buddy! What's your budget? $600? $800?" Nope. He had a budget of $300. 

At the time, this was a great budget card. He was only going to do 1080p games and mostly do e-sports type gaming or at most, play Metal Gear Solid The Phantom Pain (he is a huge Hideo Kojima fan). I was super impressed seeing it ran MGS at 60 FPS 1080p on High.

Anyways, he ended up selling it back to me right after he got an internship making way more money than I was as a repair tech. I haven't used it other than as a test GPU a few times. Great budget card, especially on an ultra-thin budget around console prices. 

- $59.99 OBO
- For the price of a new game, you can have a great budget gaming experience (as long as you have all the other parts for a computer)
- Dual-fan design that was very common on budget Gigabyte GPUs at the time.
- No original box, will probably come in bubble wrap inside a small mailer box. What do expect buying from a Jawa? They are filthy creatures!
- I found it had a little rubber protector on the PCI-E mounting bracket for personality. Debated on taking it off, but I put it back on. Always use protection.

(Used) Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 2GB OC 

This CPU was my saving grace after a dark day all gamers dread. I was using my trust gaming rig with a i5-4960k. My palms were sweaty, and just when I reached to get a sip of water before getting the game-winning headshot... BANG! Spilled right through the top of my case and all over the motherboard. RIP 4960k. 

After experiencing the 5 stages of grief and holding a brief funeral for my little war machine, I made a trip to Micro Center and purchased this bad boy to replace what was lost. Clocked at 3.4GHz, it boosts up to 3.9GHz and runs every game like a champ. I even managed to run Escape From Tarkov and Arma 3 (two terribly optimized games) with well over 60 FPS. I upgraded to another Ryzen CPU and used this for a total of about 3 years in my main PC.

- $64.99 OBO
- UNLIMITED POWERRR (up to 3.9GHz)
- Comes with the processor only, no cooler (I do have a Wraith Spire stock cooler if you are interested).
- No bent pins, carefully inspected before being placed in the plastic caddie. 
- Will ship in a small brown box secured with bubble wrap. 
- Has witnessed tons of gamer rage, treat the boy well.
