I am looking at selling computers to make some extra money, nothing huge but maybe 3-4 a month and was wondering if this setup would be profitable at all.

i was thinking about selling it around $450 if i started selling them, do you think it would sell for that price ?
 
I won't buy it.
This kind of machine is just like pre-build Acer/ Dell/ HP, etc. I don't see the point of buying PC from you when comparing to those large brand.

Can't see the RAM?? Where is the OS?

Anyway, I recommend you make these changes
CPU - Athlon II x2
Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJS 320GB
Monitor - What is the shipping cost of that? consider LG 18.5" @$120 FS, LG is a better brand...

Case + PSU - I know that is cheap, but I won't get anywhere near it. Hopefully you would not ruin your own brand with these dirt cheap psu cause break down of the whole pc
Mouse + Keyboard - your case is Beige / Silver . get white/ silver to ties up
DVD burner - get beige!!!

If you going to this business, I would say build gaming machine may attract more ppl.
 
If you plan on selling computers, you're going to have to include a legitimate copy if Windows if you want anyone to be interested in it. Because of this, it's very hard to compete with major manufactures on budget machines, which is why as daisymtc said, you'll have better luck with gaming machines.
 
Thanks for the input, thats exactly why i posted here. And as for RAM i guess it didnt copy but it was 2 x 2 gb ddr2 800. And i started looking at the gaming computer idea and it actualy looks a lot easier then budget computers as far as finding cost effective vs. usefulness becuase its seems to be very clear what is needed in a gaming computer when with budget rigs its more of a balencing act seeing what you can do with or without. Thanks again.
