My thoughts are never buy a second hand PC = Get some one to buld you one new, may cost more but best way to go if unable to do yourself

[HKS_Warman 22]

I dont know about how much you want to spend,  or if you have access to Cyberpower pc website.  But I was very happy with mine,  and they shipped it very quickly.

Alienware is a high end brand that are expensive to purchase new,  but I would agree with Daddyo. I would avoid a used P C and try to find a new one or find a 10 year old to build one for me to my spec's.

Indeed better new then used.

[HKS-Fire 12]

Agree

Never buy a used PC., You don't know if it was abused or ever cleaned or updated the operating system. That particular one doesn't look like it has very good airflow either. Used means no warranty.

If in doubt go with a prebuilt Descktop from HP, Lenova, Alienware Europe. Or even NZXT in Europe. You pick and chose the parts that you can afford https://nzxt.com/news/nzxt-prebuilt-pcs-available-now-in-europe. Sit down with someone who knows about computors to help you choose. Also stay away from Ebay and Facebook. and always pay with Paypal. They will help you out if you get screwed over.
