I never bought used computer parts. Are these parts generally reliable for ~2 years when bought used?

My current computer is from more than 10 years ago, and I found it in a dumpster. Works fine.

You're not going to leave us hanging with the specs, right?

Bog-standard Asus mobo with Intel i5 CPU, one USB3 port, some extra RAM begged from other folks and from previous desktops also from dumpsters, SATA 6GB ports, and a new at the time SATA SSD. First UEFI computer I've had. Found in a dumpster a year or two ago.
