Hello people I have two computers, 1st system is fairly reliable and I have been using it for a few years, 2nd system was handed down to me by a family member. I want to sell one of these systems or mix & match parts and both GPUs to buy a newer used GPU. What should I build on 4th gen or 6th gen? Which one would be better for gaming and some data analysis workload like Power BI, MSSMS The goal is to end up with one system from existing parts and a new used GPU something better than RX580. without putting any money in. Also what used options do I have for budget GPUs after selling one of the two systems Budget (including currency): Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming, Power Bi, MSSMS Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

I'm gonna be buying an ssd on a marketplace that is at a good price and looks fairly new, I'm planing to hand deliver the money for the drive and I want to test it on delivery to make sure everything is fine, what would be the best way to go about this? The drive is an M600 Pro LPX 2TB

Hi all, I am a graphic design/game design double major attending school in Des Moines Iowa. As part of the graphic design major, I have been tasked with designing a new app, one that I believe can help solve a niche issue. From what I know, there are very few (if any) apps on the marketplace (ios & android) that prioritize used pc parts specifically. I liue of this, I am wanting to design an app specifically for this niche group of products and would love to hear for the community as to what features you all would want in an app such as the one I am proposing. Thank you to any and all responses that I recieve! (side note: first time user of the forums here and not entirely sure how to operate all the features)

Hello all! I have found a INNOCN 40C1R with a damaged screen. The panel is BOE QV400VWB-N80. The generous guy is selling it for $15. I talked with INNOCN to see if they would know where I can get the part but I got mocking responses. One response was asking for the Facebook listing and another sent a laughing emoji at me. Some company -_- anyways I'm trying to find the screen itself to repair it my self. Any pointers of where I can go to do so?? P.S yes I know my claim as IT and HP seems dumb and Karen like to say lol.

I just started having this happen. I went to edit one of my items on FB Marketplace, and when I tried to update, I received prompt to pick which Boost I wanted. I had to go edit another one of my items just to make sure I hadn't mistakenly clicked on the Boost myself. Anyone else having this happen?

Hello everyone, I have a question. I'll summarise my situation: - Bought an RX 5700 for 300€ back in 2020 - Still have ~1 year of warranty remaining - Main monitor is 1440p 144hz. - I want to upgrade because most games only have 100fps on mid settings. - I have a 650W power supply - Currently I can sell it used for 310€ (LOL) Here is the question: Should I sell my GPU shortly before the launch of RTX 40 and RX 7000? I have 150-200€ free on hand to use extra which would make me have about 460-510€ for a new GPU. Would it make sense for me to buy an RTX 4070 or an RX 7700XT? I am concerned it my 650W power supply will have enough power to power the new GPUs. Should I also upgrade to a 900W power supply? Those things are expensive but maybe I can get a good used one and sell my current one instead

hey guys, so i sent money to a seller on facebook using paypal goods and services and now hes telling me he cant use the money as its showing as pending and he wants to return the money because he doesnt want anything to do with it now after getting to know that he has to wait till i receive the item and confirm that its all good, now i really want that item, is there a way from my side to make the money available instantly before receiving the item so the seller can go ahead and ship the item already as hes hesitant that i will scam him and get a refund after he ship the item. TL;DR : i want to make the money i sent by paypal goods and services available to the seller asap even before i receive the item

Okay guys so I posted on the /buildapc reddit here - http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2qrui2/discussion_a_marketplace_for_custom_builders/ I said: Hey guys, I do a lot of custom PC building and such, but it's a pain getting clients, especially when you have to do all the legwork yourself. I was wondering if you guys would be interested in a site where people who want custom PC's can list their price range and location and people all around the world can offer to select parts and build a PC for them, then ship it to them. This way, everyone can have a chance to build and sell a computer, enjoy the work they do on it, and see someone use it with a smile on their faces. People would basically bid on the chance to build a pc by changing the parts they'd use or by lowering their profit margin or offering free shipping or something, and the buyer would ultimately decide who they want to build the pc, then they'd deposit some money and use a 3rd party like escrow or something to hold it until they are happy with the finished product. Users would handle disputes on their own, and if they get escalated, a member of the resolution team could step in. TL;DR: Do you want a site where you can offer to build custom PC's for people and get paid to do it? EDIT: A lot of people have been concerned about quality of the product. I was thinking of an ebay like rating system for builders or a verification process and verified builders get priority when applying to build a computer for a customer. There was a huge response from the buildapc community and I wanted to hear your two cents on the idea. I've responded to I think every single comment that was posted on the original reddit thread so if you have something similar to say that was already commented there, unless there is something huge the commenter was missing, there's no need to re-post it here but thanks for the thought. To elaborate on the original idea above: I worked with a custom PC building company for a year or so back when I lived in the US. I built and shipped a ton of budget machines, and occasionally a nice one I got to have fun building. A lot of people are in the market for PC's, but they go to dell.com, see the deals, and see a cheap computer and think "Oh I'll just buy that cause it's probably gonna work for me I think." If they get what they need then cool all is good for them, but if something breaks, they're stuck in a bit of a rough spot where limited warranties and poor technical support are super discouraging. This marketplace will offer personal support for the computers you buy, offered by the builder of the computer so if anything they built might break, they know how to fix it and can work it out with the buyer. When people don't know what it is they need or how much they should spend, they tend to overspend on something superfluous, or underspend and get a crappy machine that won't last them more than a year (people selling Celeron computers in 2015). With a marketplace like this, buyers can say what they do on their computer, and their price range. Builders can offer different configurations and prices to sway the buyer to make a smart choice. The buyer will instinctively look at the cheapest offer, but with verified builders offering a more sensible build, it may push the buyers to make a wiser decision. Instead of guessing at what your needs are, you've now got a panel of (supposed) experts at your beck and call trying to get you what you need at a competitive price. Legal issues with the site concerning liability will be dealt with later, but the basic principle would be that a verified deal is one made with a verified builder and a buyer and we take some more responsibility, where unverified deals are made with unverified builders and a buyer and place the burden of law on the buyer and builder more heavily. Builders can get verified either by submitting an application with a processing fee, or by completing a certain number of builds as an unverified builder with happy customers. An idea came up to do all the purchasing of parts through the site with partners like Newegg and amazon and NCIX so buyers know how much the builders paid for the parts and can make sure the builders aren't running off with the money. Finished products can be verified on the buyers end when they receive the machine by running a speecy or some other program and submitting the results to the site to confirm they received what they had ordered. That's all I can think of for now. I'll be watching the thread and actively replying to anyone with any questions or suggestions or just words of affirmation. Thanks!!! - Eric TTG P.S. - Anyone wondering about the upkeep and cost of the site, I replied in depth on the reddit thread. - I'm a full stack web developer with lots of experience making sites for businesses and clients and I've got a whole lot of background when it comes to this stuff so designing and building the site will be all on me. Site hosting is done easily through Amazon Web Services. I've got a lot of credit in my AWS account thanks to amazon being amazing and they offer tens of thousands of dollars in free credit to startups with ideas they support. The site will generate revenue by taking a small percentage off of each sale and possibly by offering premium builder status for verified builders who would pay a fee to get verified and that fee would cover any kind of verification costs we might have. TL;DR: Would you be interested in a marketplace where people buying computers can say their needs and custom builders compete to build a computer for them that suits their needs best?

So yeah, got an email today from G2A stating that they have launched the ability for customers to list game keys for sale on their site, when browsing for games you can filter to community posted listings now and see users keys up for sale. I went ahead and began a 'sell' form to see the process and it simply asks you to type the key into a box, and set a price, when someone buys it the key is revealed instantly just as it would be if you were to purchase a key from their own listings. This has a distinct advantage over eBay because you don't have to wait for a seller to send you a key, not to mentiont eBay doesn't officially allow the sale of digitally delivered CD keys. Also they seem to have a system in place to prevent people from abusing tha PayPal chargeback system after having redeemed your code. Here are the T&Cs of the site and service, it will be interesting to see if this works or not, there seem to be a lot of keys floating about from GPU deals ect so it could mean more of them getting listed for sale rather than given away. https://www.g2a.com/terms-and-conditions/
