in coretemp while running prime 95 (a cpu stress test) if you see any of the threads failing, or one core not at 100%, then it has a bunk core
running unigine valley or furmark will stress the gpu, and you can monitor the temps, and clock speeds with gpu-z

If he refuses to even run prime 95 (a very small program) then don't buy the computer, as if it cannot run prime 95 without crashing, then the processor is either overclocked too high, or it has problems

If no crash occurs while running unigine valley or furmark for 10 minutes minimum, then there is no problem with the gpu either

Ok, with all that, you are getting a reasonably good deal if there is nothing wrong with the system
