Better to sell whole system or part out?

[Xa3phod]

I have a fully build system which is a good starting point. Just need a better GPU. I want to sell it or part it out. Which makes more sense?

Its a Ryzen 1700 with 16GB of DDR4-3000 ram and a GTX760. I know the GPU is old, but I sold my R9 Fury X that was in it. I guess the 760 is just a placeholder.

I recently updated my main computer and have components that I was going to sell, but they are compatible wth that computer.

Ryzen 3900x and a RTX 2070. Should I put those in my computer for sale and sell it like that? or just sell them individually? a 3900x and a 2070 makes for a very capable 1440p gaming rig.

A lot of buyers would be more interested in a gaming PC that is ready to accept a proper GPU, rather than buying one with a placeholder. The 760 can be used to verify that the system works to show to a customer, but sell it as a gaming PC that needs a GPU. Someone would probably be happy to buy this and put an RX 6600 in here.

That might work real great. I often recommend people buy a cheap used Ryzen first gen CPU and B450 motherboard, which affords a great upgrade path on a budget. The 1700 should sell fine on its own, and the build with the 2070 and 3900X will have its own appeal.
