I'm looking at upgrading my current rig, but would like some opinions from you guys and girls first;
Which components do you prefer buying NEW rather than used? Which components would you consider buying USED rather than new? It's a multiple answer poll, and if you don't mind either/or, vote for both.
I've got a decent budget to work with, but if I can spend less on certain components in used condition, it allows more budget for new items.
Obviously the most valuable components should be bought new for the warranty sake of things.
Mouse and Keyboard are too subjective, I'm buying new ones. My play style is..... strange.
But don't think about warranty alone (I'm buying from Evetech anyway. - jk.), think about longevity. cost/performance ratio etc.
i.e. A lot of GPU's (worth upgrading to) will have some sort of warranty left from what I've seen on the used market, the rate at which they are bought and sold is quite high. - I'd consider buying one in used condition (with a manufacturer warranty remaining.)
i.e. a case is subject to more wear and tear than other components, and are likely to be in a scratched/dented condition when buying used - I'd prefer buying new. - other people on the forum don't care what their case looks like.
This is your opinions, I'd like to see if there is a correlation in the poll results.
