My CPU, motherboard and graphics card were bought used. The CPU/MB kit was "bought for another build but the customer canceled" as the seller said and I can almost guarantee the GPU mined because A) it came without a box, let alone the receipt, so it was likely part of a bulk purchase somewhere up the chain, B) it was F I L T H Y, took me 6 ear swabs to clean 2 fans, and C) the output ports were all plugged with those blue plastic bits and I'm guessing they were never used. Built it last March and it's still going well, thinking of replacing the stock CPU cooler but I don't know about that since the 3600 TDP is only 65W. If I upgrade the CPU the cooler is gonna be a must but I don't think I need a better cooler with this one RAM was about the same price new vs used so it only made sense to buy new, buying storage and PSU used is too risky for me and the case was bought used too, but total shipped was about 25 bucks so I should have bought a new case instead
