How hot is the CPU and GPU

A: Someone earlier said 30-40c, I'nm running around 60-70c idle and over 90c when using it actively. The cooling is awful. Answered 1 year ago by Swiss
Yeah I think if you want to drop a couple hundred into this on top of the purchase price it's usable but man, 500w psu, poor cooling, not really even a good use case for someone who can't do the additional work and for someone who can, it would be more beneficial to start from scratch and part it all out. Maybe the open box for 1k for the gpu and a few other components but even then, an older cpu, lower end mobo, needs a better psu and cooling system, case and the hard drive and ram are negligible I'm sure. I'd need this to be a 3080ti to bite at this price I think.

The PSU in this is probably a 750w. Just a switch of a case and extra fans, new cpu cooler and you're good.

I think the specs are wrong, it's actually a 750W PSU in the Q&A. Lots of bad reviews regarding cooling though.
This is only the beginning, prices are going to spiral out of control for a lot of things (in favor of the consumer).
Don't get me wrong either if you can save 1 k this is a great time for that. Good lessons though for folks over the last few years. I m still waiting as well

Have you never bought a prebuilt? They use the minimum that will work. Like someone said, if you are taking it apart and replacing all those items, you might as well just build from scratch.

Very true. The extra cost + the listed price will cost you as much as you will pay for current mid to high end component system.
