Gaming PC from E-Bay, am I being dumb?

I’m buying my first gaming PC (budget around €750) and found an eBay listing from “my-gaming-deals.” The specs look solid at first glance, all components are listed with exact models, and the price seems pretty good.

Still unsure if the seller is actually reliable or if there are common risks with these kinds of eBay PC deals.

Has anyone had experience with this seller or can tell me what I should watch out for?

Looking for some advice from experienced builders

Hello everyone, I am not new to PC building, however it has been many years since I’ve built one. My current PC was built all the way back when the GTX 1080 was released and I haven’t kept up in the PC building scene per se. I am looking for advice on a build. I mostly do high end gaming as well as a lot of intensive 3D modeling with solidworks and other 3D modeling programs. I put together a build and was looking for some advise to see if I would be better off with other options vs what I have picked so far. I appreciate all the input everyone. And yes I know prices are pretty inflated right now, but I don’t see them dropping anytime soon unfortunately so I’m willing to bite the bullet.(these prices are CAD dollar not USD)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D

CPU cooler: Thermalright Grand Vision Liquid cooler

Motherboard: Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite wifi 7 ATX

Ram: Kingston Fury Beast 64Gb (2x32)

SSD: Silicon Power UD90 4 TB M.2-2280

GPU: Asus Prime RTX 5080

Case: Corsair Frame 4000D ATX mid

PSU: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold

However it's too expensive and overkill for what I want to do with it, so I need reccomendations on what parts to substitute.

looking into getting a refurbished pc for gaming, any advice?

I will start off by saying I have VERY bare bones knowledge when it comes to pcs, and I’ve never bought one of my own before.

Recently I have been thinking about getting a decent pc setup, nothing crazy, but maybe something I can upgrade in the future.

I really only want something for gaming, that’s all I do on a computer lol.

anyone have ideas on where to even start? I was thinking about getting a refurbished PC, is there anywhere online I should be looking?

thank you in advance for any advice 🫶

Help with rgb build idea

Hi all, I was given the idea of matching the PC's RGB to one of my favourite Pokemon, Victini and have gone for a similar colour scheme (pic attached). However, im a very simplistic rgb pc kind of person so I dont want to go too overboard. I have a few parts ive picked out and would like to know what best rgb to swap them to for a similar layout. with cases, I need them to be less than 300mm in width, due to getting a PC mount for my sit to stand desk.

these are my current parts ive been messing with and would like to stick at around 2k, UK. Storage will be taken from my current PC.
