About to build a computer

[computermaineack]

Hey everyone. I'm going to build a computer to hopefully sell for a little money. It doesn't need to be top of the line but it shouldn't be the quality of the mass produced computers. As for the budget, I'd say around $500 to $800. So any parts recomendations would be great!

And what do you intend to do with this computer?

You had better offer EXCELLENT customer and technical service to the unsuspecting customer your going to dupe into buying your 100% marked up machine...

Who said I was going to sell it for 100% markup? And since I first posted this thread I have been thinking a LOT about it... and I realize I should just build computer totally how the customer wants them. Anyway, still feel free to recomend parts (originaly what this post was about).

I was exaggerating... just a little... ..

Its good to know that you wont be overcharging.

Well the first thing you need to decide is what CPU and MOBO you want to get. Either you wait for everyone’s "personal preference" or do a little Google research on AMD and/or Intel.

Fair enough ... wouldnt it be better to get the sale first and then build to spec'?

To deal with the subject at hand, can you nail the budget down a bit more, 500 and 800 is a very broad spectrum
