Choosing between a new build and a second-hand PC
Hello! I'm finally going to buy an actual gaming PC, however I can't quite decide between two options:
First is my own build - any tips are very welcome (I suspect I may have a needlessly expensive PSU and could probably bump the RAM down to just one stick, plus I've been considering getting one more fan as top exhaust).

Price comes down to around 800 euros plus shipping for me.
The second option is a prebuilt that I would be buying second-hand with these specs:

Asking price is 800€, probably comes with a monitor/MKB combo, but I don't know the exact models as the dude is currently away from home and can't check them.
My question is, which do you recommend I choose? Pound or pound I think the prebuilt has better value, but wouldn't be new and I wouldn't have an expensive LEGO (arguably an advantage, as I could mess something up). The MKB isn't too important for me - I have an old-issh set that still serves me well. I did think about replacing my old 60Hz 1080p monitor sometime soon, since now I'd actually have a reason for faster refresh/higher resolution, the model I've been eyeing is about 160€, so that could be the potential bonus with the second-hand purchase.
That's about it. I'll be grateful for any input.
P.S.: For those interested, this is the shitbox I've been using so far that got me roasted the first time I mentioned it online: [https://sk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Unaert/saved/8K4bkL](https://sk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Unaert/saved/8K4bkL)
