I currently own a pc with
i5 3570k @4.2Ghz
GTX960 2gb VRAM
8gb ram

and theres a preowned computer for sale with
i7 6700
gt750
16gb ram


i will probably get a rtx 2070 in the future and I was wondering if this upgrading to an i7 6700 is worthwhile and what price I should offer for the pc. Otherwise if I were to build a new pc what cpu should I get for rtx 2070?

I will probably use the pc mainly for gaming @ 1080p 144hz or 1440p.

Just ask how much the guy wants for it. Then compare it to what you would pay for a new rig. Good part is that his GPU is crap, bad part is that it's a "i7" which gets beaten by a modern i5. (Might ask for more money since it's i7). At that point, look at your price difference and decide which is worth it for you. If money is of no issue, go for a new rig. If you're a penny counter, low ball offer that i7 and haggle with him. If he doesn't accept, wait 2 weeks, if it's still for sale, come back with your low offer. If he still doesn't bite, black Friday/ Christmas sales are here! Yay haha
