Looking for some opinions on a second hand PC as a gift for my 77 Y/O neighbour :) My 77-year old neighbour has been using flight simulators for almost 30 years now, where he meets up with people on Teamspeak and fly routes together. Here he is (he doesn&#039;t mind me posting): <a rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://imgur.com/lkcgjlC" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/lkcgjlC</a> His hardware is pretty outdated, and he&#039;s a tad upset that he can&#039;t join his fellow mates in MS Flight Simulator 2020 - he mainly plays Lockheed Martin Prepar3D V5. He&#039;s genuinely one of the nicest people I&#039;ve met, but the guy doesn&#039;t have a ton to spend unfortunately. He did mention planning on buying a larger monitor this year, but that a completely new PC is out of reach. That&#039;s why I want to gift him something nice, without absolutely breaking the bank. I was planning on getting something second hand, around €600,- or so (The Netherlands - $1 is pretty much equal to €1). I&#039;m not in a hurry and don&#039;t mind waiting for some deals, but just wanted to gather some opinions on what to look out for. I&#039;m pretty experienced building PCs, but I&#039;ve almost never used the 2nd hand market. So any advice on what to look out for or skip is super appreciated! Here&#039;s my first draft, but I&#039;m open to change anything: <a rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://imgur.com/NFoc3Y9" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/NFoc3Y9</a> * Ryzen 3600 (€70) * B450 Tomahawk Max (€50) * 16GB 3200Mhz RAM (new €44) * 1TB Kingston NV1 (new €54) - he downloads a ton of maps and assets, so I&#039;m hesitant on 2nd hand storage and him losing his data * Corsair RM550x (€30) * AMD RX 6700XT (€280) * Total €568
