How much did I oversell this?

I've been losing my ass recently even though I've been putting together decent low cost PC's. I really need to make up what I've lost especially being unemployed. Other than saying the I7 is better than the I5 given it's a 3570 vs I7-920, I tried to not overdo it too much. GTX 650 TI can play anygame @ 1080p, although I never specified the settings.

EDIT: They took my auction down. They claimed copy write. They thought I was selling windows...

Specs: Core I7-2600K @ 4.5GHz @ 1.35V, 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance Black 1600MHz CL9, Cooler Master Evo 212, MSI Z77 Mpower Motherboard, Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X @ 1000/1400, Cooler Master HAF 932 Blue Edition w/ 3 Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 120MM fans (2 up top 1 in the bottom) replaced side panel with a window, and rear fan with a Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 140MM, Cooler Master GX 650 80+ Bronze PSU, Samsung DVD-RW, Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD, Seagate 750GB SATA III 7200RPM

Well, there is not a single game that needs more than a GTS 450 to play that being crysis 3.  I believe playing metro/crysis 3 I was playing on medium settings @ 1080p.  Atleast unlike most eBayers, I actually am using a gaming graphics card, unlike those SERIOUS GAMING HD 5450 2GB :)

the cable management is pretty bad,try managing it a bit,also I'd suggest offering the optical drive as an optional add-on  and taking pictures without that IDE ribbon cable.

 

that power supply makes me worried about the integrity of the build

LOL there was a part in there where you were like we have 2 120mm fans in here for SERIOUS GAMING, I laughed my ass off haha

If I didn't lose my ass selling honest decent builds, I wouldn't have to oversell it this much.

Power supply cables are extremely short.  The Ibuypower PSu it came with was top mounted, so I cannot route them like I usually do.  I do agree with the ribbon cable.

 

Get a tripod and turn off in house image stabilization, this looks ridiculously unprofessional. :(

I ordered one, but it will take 2-3 weeks.

I will probably redo the SATA connectors, I only did that for temp for loading the OS with just the SSD in. Also planning on moving up the fan 1 slot as well.  the 24 pin is soo short it BARELY reaches and that IDE cable is annoying but the SATA drive I have isn't a burner :(

why include a burner?

 

chances are the dvd drive will go unused,and if it is used it'll be used for installing older games.

I agree, I would put the Sata drive in because it would honestly look WAY better with as clean cables as you can get.

Ram is only 2 months old, graphics card, SSD, cpu cooler, case, fans and HD I just purchased for this build.

 

CPU, mobo, PSU and dvd-rw is original.  Not sure how long ago she bought it.

It's too late, already went live (the auction did).  But I shoulda unplugged the drive though I do agree and clean it up some.  I was in a race because the 8 pin CPU plug extension came in today and I had to wire it, load it, test it, do the video, right the add and take pics.  Poor planning indeed.  Cleaner cables isn't as important to the eBay crowd.  I mean being slightly more tiddy as I usually am looks more appealing, but the eBay crowd aren't the enthusiasts like we are.

i think you should change the tone of voice because maybe its just me but as soon as i hear that salesman voice i run for the hills

also you should state that the windows experiance index only goes up to 7.9 not 10 as most would assume

oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

I added your PC to my watch list because I'm very interested in how much it sells for. You put free shipping, are you worried it will be like $100 for shipping?

Thanks for checking, if I missed it I needed to know. Again I did this all in a hurry :(

Also to add, I've done sales for many years myself. I wish I could sell quality parts, but after doing things legit and honest and losing about 300 dollars on a few PC's, I have to up my game slightly. Again, I sleep at night knowing in the end, It will sell for between 450-550 and that's what it's worth. It will game @ 1080p, med-high settings on the newest AAA titles and crush alot of older games (Diablo 3, SC2, LOL, WoW etc).

It's not the train wreck people usually put out.  I mean it's still an I7-920, good ram, a GTX 650 TI 2GB can play games @ 1920x1080, although Metro last light expect only medium settings.  But I've seen much worse sell for alot more due to over exaggeration. :)

I would say low settings for Last Light at 1080P, I have to play at medium/high with my 660Ti+2700K and I only have a 1600x900 monitor. 

Also they really need to update the WEI scores! They are fien for when windows 7 came out, but it so easy now to get high scores! Windows 8 scores are much more realistic.
