Refurbished & Used Components at Pink Parsnip Computers

Refurbished & Used Components at Pink Parsnip Computers

Amazing performance. Incredible value. Fully tested. Fully guaranteed.

At Pink Parsnip Computers, we build powerful, great-value gaming PCs and sometimes the best way to maximise your performance for the money is to use refurbished or used components such as graphics cards, CPUs or motherboards.

Whenever a system includes any refurbished components, it is always clearly marked on the product page. We are completely transparent, and you will always know exactly what you are buying.

🔧 What Does “Refurbished” Mean?

A refurbished component is a part that has been previously used but has been:

  • Professionally inspected
  • Fully tested
  • Repaired or refreshed if needed
  • Confirmed to meet the manufacturer’s performance standards

Refurbished parts often perform the same as brand-new components, just without the brand-new cost.

✨ Your Warranty Is Fully Protected

Even if your PC contains refurbished or used components, your Pink Parsnip 12 month warranty stays exactly the same.

  • 12 month warranty from Pink Parsnip Computers
  • Manufacturer warranty where applicable
  • Every PC is fully tested before it leaves us

If something goes wrong, we take care of it. It does not affect your warranty with us in any way.

🛠️ Which Parts Are Refurbished?

When we use refurbished or used components, they are normally the core performance parts, such as:

  • Graphics cards (GPUs)
  • Processors (CPUs)
  • Motherboards

Even in systems that use refurbished components, the following are always 100% brand new:

  • Case
  • Fans (including any ARGB fans)
  • Power supply
  • Storage (NVMe SSD / SSD / HDD)
  • Windows licence
  • Cables and accessories

This means your PC looks, feels and behaves like a brand new system, with the performance of a much more expensive build.

📈 Why Choose Refurbished Parts?

Choosing refurbished parts can unlock huge performance gains for the money, especially with graphics cards and processors.

For example:

  • A brand new GPU for £300 might offer entry-level or mid-range performance.
  • A refurbished GPU at the same price could deliver significantly higher frame rates and better in-game settings at 1080p or 1440p.

In short, refurbished often means better FPS, better value and better gaming for the same budget.

🧪 Benchmarking & Quality Testing

Every single PC we build, including those with refurbished parts, goes through a full testing process:

  • Complete build check
  • Stress testing and stability testing
  • Game and performance benchmarks
  • Thermal checks to ensure safe temperatures
  • Driver and Windows updates applied

If a graphics card, CPU, motherboard or any other component does not pass our tests, we will not send it out to you. It is that simple.

❓ Are Refurbished Parts Safe?

Yes. We only use refurbished components that we are happy to use in our own PCs.

We carefully source refurbished parts from trusted suppliers and put them through our own testing process. Anything that does not meet our standards is rejected.

🎯 Who Are Refurbished PCs Best For?

Refurbished and mixed builds are ideal if you want maximum value, such as:

  • Gamers who want the best performance for their budget
  • First gaming PCs for kids and teens
  • Upgrading from an older console or basic office PC
  • Content creators who want GPU performance without overspending

🔄 Can I Choose Only Brand New Components?

Absolutely. If you would prefer a build that uses only brand new components, just let us know. We can customise almost any system to match your preferences and budget.
