I would say getting a used motherboard shouldn't be a problem, as they typically outlast the rest of the components anyway. HDDs are so cheap, you're not gonna save much so it's not worth getting used. SSDs on the other hand can still cost a fair bit depending on size and you can look at the SMART stats to see how much it has been used (power on hours, TB written) and get a good idea of how long it will last. SSDs these days have great endurance, so if you get a good deal on a used one, as long as it's a more recent model, it might be worth it.Parts I wouldn't buy used:
HDD/SSD
Power Supply
Motherboard
Anything else, I could see spending less and getting used. Especially avoid getting used a power supply, if nothing else.
