PCPartPicker Part List
My friend is looking to sell his PC, fully built, for about $900CAD. Seems the only weak point is the motherboard? It appears to be a budget X470 motherboard with average VRM phases which means it may not turbo or overclock as well as say a MSI B450 Tomahawk? Probably wouldn't play nice with a Ryzen 7 3700X or Zen 3 either? Looking to use it for productivity work like Photoshop and video editing.
I put together a similar build, changing just the motherboard to the MSI B450 Tomahawk and PSU to a Corsair TXM 550 and grand total is $1,080 + tax. If I change it to a NVIDIA GTX1650, it's $1,090 + tax. That's $1,220 after taxes compared to $900. Keep in mind PCPartPicker doesn't have prices available for his motherboard and PSU so I'd have to substitute if I build a new PC from scratch myself.
