I expect that was the part that needed to be replaced and is now therefore why Currys had it as “refurbished”.

In an ideal world you'd want a bit faster ram. But for the price you paid its a steal

yeah maybe faster ram and an 850W PSU upgrade at some point and it should be good for a few years

I think you’ve completely won with this purchase, you got an absolute steal imho! Congratulations!!!

Thanks! I know, I can't quite believe I bumped into this deal, and for anyone who's curious about how it happened:
I had set up an alert on hotukdeals for gaming pcs, and after a few days of so-so deals this came up, the OP just said "hundreds of pounds cheaper given the specs. Only 1 available". The deal pointed to the curry's clearance section on their ebay store. I had a quick look and i thought the price was just incredible, it said "pristine", so I took a leap of faith and bought in on the spot. In the meantime I refreshed the thread on hotukdeals and it had suddenly disappeared, no trace of it. So...had i not been quick enough to check out the notification for my "gaming pc" alert, I wouldn't even have known about this.

Dumb luck is the best thing at present. It's the only way I managed to get a PS5 at launch and a retail 3070. Right place right time :)

Given the cost of replacing it, I wouldn't worry about the RAM....it won't offer enough performance to warrant the cost of it (given it would be around £70 or so for 16GB worth of 3200MHz or 3600MHz)

PSU can be replaced if/when you put in a newer GPU down the road.

Personally, I'd look into the possibility of adding in a second M.2 SSD, a 1TB one so you can put your games on it and separate from your Windows install (saves aggro if Windows ever needs reinstalling). Not entirely sure which one to suggest however as the second M.2 slot on that board is limited to PCI-e 3.0 though I suspect the PCS 1TB one would be fine if you wanted to order through the PCS upgrade service (assuming you can order it through that of course)
Click to expand...
I didn't know that my motherboard can host a second m.2!! In that case I can put the pcspecialist nvme in as well!

Running that spec through the configurator is already at £1,650 and thats with a cheap £22 case (as the Coolermaster one you have listed is not on there).

A great bargain at just over £1300 - well done.

Also, @Nursemorph has mentioned about adding a second M2, so looks like you can use both that you have got and put the PCS one back in too.

I've just checked out the cooler master website about the TD500 case, it mentions that it works with Asus aura sync..so I guess that to change the rgb lights I should download that..

So long as it’s been correctly plugged into the motherboard rgb headers it should work
