you'll definitely be able to sell it. the parts are all very new. to someone who knows about computers, you would probably be able to get a solid $700-$800 i'd say. more if you sell to someone who doesn't know much about computers.
 
Yes you definitely could sell that. I'm not sure you should sell it for more than $900 to anyone since overcharging based on someone's nievity would be taking advantage of them, but hey, if they are willing to pay more, great! That sounds like a steller system, I would buy it myself but I do not have the money for that right now.
 
Thanks . Ive been looking into selling a few systems on ebay on the side just to help pay for all my upgrades :D so this sounds promising. I work from home so time is easy to find .
 
That PSU is a piece of crap. You should be able to find a ~500-600W Silverstone or Seasonic for around that price...they're really good buys right now. Would be plenty.

If you're wanting to make money off of it, you're going to want to sell it to someone who doesn't know how to build one. Such people are not likely to be looking for an unlocked processor or water cooling, or such a beast of a case, among other things. They probably won't care about the PSU wattage at all.

Try the following:

- Change the CPU to a 1055T. It's about $60 cheaper. (that, or charge extra to pre-overclock it)
- Change the HDD to a Samsung F3. Cheaper, and the F3 is arguably a better drive anyway.
- Change the PSU to something like this
- Possibly drop back to 4GB RAM. Nobody really needs more than 4. This is a good kit. Good price for the 8Gb, though, and more ram markets well.
- They don't need an IGP...move to an 870 mobo. This would do fine. It's actually better since it can do 8x/8x Crossfire.
- Change the cooler to a Hyper 212 Plus. Cheaper, more impressive looking, and still very good.
- Change the case to something cheaper(but still good)...smaller might be better. The HAF912 is cheap right now.

That should take over $300 off of the price, with minimal real-world performance lost. People like cheaper. A lot.

thanks, Ive been thinking about cutting price a bit but i know a guy who owns a computer store localy and he says the word watercooling will sell a piece of crap for loads of money [i dont plan on building a piece of crap though becuase i dont want to be fixing these 3 months into selling them] Im going to be building these on order so i wont be stocking. so that should let me fine tune the rig for sale before i actualy buy it.
 
Well that doesn't include water cooling, but you can talk about having these newfangled direct-contact heat pipes in the heat sink...

Building on order will help a lot...good job there.
