i was looking at the X800GTO 256mb and a amd X2 3800+ but those alone come to aorund £300

, things seem to be a little more expensive here that in the USA for example

If you build a more expensive computer, you can sell it for more. Generally OEMs ...don't give you the best value for your money. You could potentially end up losing money.

£450 wont really buy you a "great" gaming system.

-probably something flashy put a hight prossesor and a hight cpu most people who buy pcs of ebay arent reallly experts on comps so they wouldn probably only know about those things and that way u could make a litle extra cash

also wut i have seen alot is people will OC it... cus alot of ppl (noobs) thing all that matters is GHz... so they just look for what has the highest GHz... so you just get a P4 EE at 3.77GHz then OC it to 4GHz... ppl go WOW! 4GHZ!!!
then you could up the price even more than u really payed for it

Its a possibility, but then i may break the warrenty and not be able to advertise warrenty

good idea though, keeping on the same subject, maybe it would be best to get intel chips becuase if a noob sees an AMD 2GHz and then looks at another computer he might see a 3.8Ghz intel and think WOW! the intel is almost 2 times as good!

maybe ill have to save more so i can invest and buy Praetor's £600 play machine and see how much profit that brings in
