Can't you take a trip to France and shop tax free? That would shave off around 25% of the price.

Picked mine up last week, they had a deal with a game too which dropped £20 off Mario Wonder.

You can still 100% get a great 2nd hand gaming pc for that amount. That will play all games, including all console games from every era, and will last for 10 years at least. Also you can use it to make music / art / software and also do most jobs.

A lot of sellers will even throw in the peripherals for free.

I might buy up a few now while they are left.

Also never buy 1st hand desktop hardware, total waste of money, the price drop from 1st hand to 2nd hand is insane, but desktop components dont degrade that much, theyre still mostly following IBM's sane design pattern, so you're getting a massive price drop with no downside.
