[SG] PowerColor Reaper AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 [W] £450

Hello everyone,

I’m selling my RX 9070 XT for £450. I’ve had this GPU since March 2025, and it has had zero issues during use. I’m only selling it because I’ve upgraded to an RTX 5090. I also don’t have the original box, as I bought the computer from a local seller as a prebuilt system.

Location: Leeds
Price: £450

Pictures:

Edit: Collection only, and you’re free to test the GPU, but you’ll also have to help me plug in the 12VHPWR because I couldn’t plug it in properly for half an hour, and I’m not stressing about it again lol.

[BG] Dad trying to help my 11 year old son build his first his first pc so he can get into coding and gaming development [H] £100-150

I hope this kind of post is okay here.

My son is 11 years old and has become absolutely obsessed with PCs, coding, and game development.

He spends hours watching videos about building computers, learning how games are made, and talking about wanting to create his own someday. I’d really love to encourage that interest because he’s genuinely passionate about it.

The problem is that money is extremely tight for us at the moment, and I simply can’t afford to buy parts to help him build his first PC.

We’re based in the UK, and I wanted to ask if anyone in the community has any old or spare PC parts sitting around that they no longer need and would be willing to donate. Even older hardware would mean the world to him and would give him something to learn on and experiment with.

I’m more than happy to pay what I can and cover postage costs.

Even if nobody has spare parts, I’d really appreciate any advice on, cheap starter builds, beginner resources for coding/game development or anything else that could help him get started

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Condition: Excellent. Just over 1 year old. Lightly used in a smoke-free, pet-free home. No marks, scratches, dents or visible wear beyond what's shown in the photos. Fully functional, all components working perfectly.

Usage history: Personal use only. Mostly general desktop work, gaming, and intermittent AI/ML hobby projects (running local LLMs and image & video generation models for personal experimentation, not sustained 24/7 workloads). Never for crypto/mining, never used for commercial rendering or simulation farms etc anything that constitutes hardware abuse. Stock everything. CPU and GPU run at factory settings.

Reason for sale: Almost never game these days.

Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16C/32T)
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5090 32GB Inno3D X3
  • Motherboard: MSI MPG B650I Edge WiFi (Mini-ITX, AM5)

Built by a UK system builder. Happy to confirm the builder's name privately to serious buyers.

Warranty (transferable to new owner):

~1 year remaining on the original 2-year collect-and-return warranty
~4 years remaining on the 5-year labour-only warranty
Email confirmation from the original builder that the warranty transfers to the new owner. At handover I'll connect the buyer directly with the builder's sales team via the existing email chain. This also serves as proof of original purchase, purchase date, and warranty start period.

Benchmarks

  • Cinebench R23 multi-core: 40,848
  • Cinebench 2024 multi-core: 2,243
  • 3DMark Steel Nomad: 14,242

CPU peaks at 95°C under sustained Cinebench (AMD's designed TjMax for the chip). GPU peaks at 73°C under sustained 3DMark.

What's included:
- The PC, factory reset to clean Windows 11 Pro install before handover
- Power cable and any spare cables/screws from the original build
- Direct introduction to the builder's sales team via the existing email chain (covers proof of purchase, date, warranty start, and warranty transfer confirmation)

No original packaging available — collection only for that reason.

[BG] Living room pc components - AM4 cpu+mobo+RAM combo, 600-650w PSU, storage [H] £200

Hi all, looking to build a living room PC on a budget for couch gaming/VR. Mainly looking for the guts of a PC at the moment, namely:

- AM4 platform: ideally looking to buy a full mobo/ram/cpu combo from someone. Ideal budget for this is around £100 but willing to stretch if needs be.
- PSU: Will be looking at a 1080ti for the GPU so around 600-650W for this. Somewhere in the ballpark of £60ish but let me know if I’m taking the piss!
- Storage: Ideally M.2 but I’ll take what I can get in this economy. Open to whatever is going on this front.
- Case: I plan on building the PC into an IKEA unit, so if anyone has a test bench going that would be ideal.

Will happily pay for postage or collect if you’re around Manchester-ish. The £200 is my ideal overall budget for all of the above but there’s some flexibility there if needs be.

Cheers :)

[SG] Gaming PC - ASUS 4070 Super & AMD 7 7800X3D & 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL60 [W] £1175

Selling gaming PC I assembled around 1.5 years ago, fully functional and runs games on ultra settings 1440p at amazing fps with no issue. Selling as these days I only play games that I can run on my laptop so it feels pointless just sitting there! The RAM in it is worth alot alone but my work life is too busy at the moment to sell the whole thing individually.

Component List as follows;

GPU: Asus DUAL EVO GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12 GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core AM5
RAM: ADATA XPG LANCER Black DDR5-6000 CL30 32GB (2x16GB)
Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe
Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI AM5 DDR5 ATX
PSU: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750W 80+ Gold Fully Modular
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Water 240mm Black
Case Fan: ARCTIC P12 PWM PST 120mm Black 56.3 CFM 1-Pack
PC Case: Fractal Design North ATX Mid Tower Black Tempered Glass Side Panel

The PC hasn't been used for a while but I have ran through and tested games on it recently and updated drivers. It does have a slightly long boot-up of about 45-75 seconds but I understand this can be fixed in the bios by someone smarter than me! To note - it has personally never really bothered me. The USB ports on the top of the case that no one ever uses aren't wired to the motherboard, this can be connected at any time I just chose not to fiddle as I knew I would never use them.

Please drop me a message if you are interested!
