https://www.bestbuy.com/site/alienware-aurora-r9-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i7-9700-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-super-1tb-hdd-512gb-ssd-white-lunar-light/6373818.p?skuId=6373818

one of my friends wants to sell me this but without the 2080

he'd give it to me for $500. i looked up the 2080 and its $700+ from what i found.

so my question is would this be worthwhile to purchase and then just slap a new graphics card in it? or could i build a better performing Pc for cheaper.

pc would be used for gaming (war zone, upcoming mmorpg's, and maybe some light streaming).

Ah I know you know your stuff, so do you think it’s a good purchase disregarding the ugliness of it?
