Hi im new to this forum and i wish to start to build my own computers up and sell them off but i need help with the pricing. i have draw up 3 different computers i could make(Low end, Mid End and High End) i am first going to build the low end computer but i need help with the pricing. Below are the specs of the first computer i am going to build (low End). the low end PC is only for people with basic needs. (not gaming)

  • Casecom LG-7780 Black/Silver Gaming Case - With 350W PSU
  • ASRock 775I945GZ SKT 775 AGI-E
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.8GHz
  • Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio
  • Western Digital WD1600JS Caviar SE 160GB 7200RPM
  • 256Mb MSI Radeon X1300Pro PCI-E (x16) 4Pipes 800MHz
  • NEC AD 7170A - Disk drive - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM IDE
  • 1Gb Corsair Value Select, DDR2 PC5300

How much do you think i should sell it for?

Thanks in advance

Probably $650, how much is the cost? I built my first PC's and sold them off and just kept getting new ones by what little bit of profit they made.
 
He wants a english price (I can tell because CaseCom is a subsidiary of ebuyer, its a name for its "Ebuyer Extra Value Cases")

I am building a higher spec version of this PC (Better Mobo better PSU better cooling) and its costing me around £180 ($360) to build (his build includes 1 or 2 things i have yet to include in my price, so it about evens out). so if you could get $650 (£325) for that that would be a major profit margin, around 200% markup on the pieces you bought.

I wouldn't pay more than £225ish ($450) for it, but not all that many consumers are as informed as me, you might get upto £300 ($600)

Also, you should consider changing the PSU, thats a cheap inbuilt PSU and it is quite possible it will cause system failures.

The build also appears to lack a HDD

How about using a p4 as the low end, it is low end after all then use something like the e4300 or e6100 for the midrange.
