I got an offer for a Ryzen 5 1600 + B350 MSI + 16GB 3200mhz for 150€

Should I grab?

Decent price. The 1600 is still a pretty darn good CPU, especially if you're not AAA gaming.

Ooh, definitely!!

I recently picked up a similar bit of kit: 8700K, Asus Prime Z370-something motherboard, 8GB of cheapy DDR4-2666, and a GTX 750Ti with a worn-out fan. I paid a local seller $300 CAD (226€) for the bundle. Thought it was a screamin' deal.

I believe the Ryzen 1600 is similar in age and performance, being a 6c/12t CPU. So yeah, 150€ for that bundle with twice the RAM is an absolute steal! Go for it.

Deal was taken by someone else. I wasn't the only one 😀
I'll try to get a new Gfx card with that money.
