Hello I am currently selling this Gaming PC (http://www.ebay.com/itm/281562670591?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649) I have been selling this Computer for a while and have not gotten much interest. I don't think I made any mistakes with the Hardware choice or the Pricing, Here's the full specs:

 

-AMD FX 6300 CPU @3.5Ghz (6 Cores)

-Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard

-8GB of DDR3 @1600Mhz

-1TB Hardrive

-AMD r9 270x

-600W PSU

-Fractal Design Core 1000 Case

 

For $750 I thought I was offering a good value. This leads me to the question: "What am I doing wrong?" As you can see there are no watchers and the thing obviously hasn't sold it just has views. Thanks for your help in advance.  :)

 

My System has a Intel Core i7 4790k @4.5ghz Cooled by A Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO With a MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz Memory.

For $750 this is actually pretty bad. You can do better for less

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

"Extreme High End Gaming Computer With Radeon Graphics"

 

...interesting way of describing an entry level build.

 

I'm actually glad of how little attention it's getting given how massively you're overselling it in the description.

Were you building it for the sole purpose of selling it on Ebay?

 

The people who are interested in building a gaming PC generally aren't shopping on Ebay for a preassembled rig that would be more expensive than them just buying the same parts for themselves..

The people who are going to buy a prebuilt PC aren't looking on Ebay, they're going to Best Buy and buying something from a big name brand.

 

 

I don't mean to sound insulting, but I think what you're doing wrong here is that you're targeting an audience that just simply doesn't exist.

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

Honestly, if you're matching the $750 he's selling his for, get something like a 4590-4690k and a better MoBo, +Hyper 212 Evo.

Meaning even more rekt

In all seriousness, you the price tag you've put on it is too high for Ebay, and the description is scammy as heck. You're pretty much marketing yourself to the 12 year olds that are going to ask their mother for the computer and then complain when they get it.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

Not everyone knows how to build a PC As well as I have seen others sell "Gaming PCs" in truck loads via Ebay.

I didn't even write the description and I called it "High End" because its a r9 2XX

That's like the companies that build computers for Walmart/Best Buy and pair a 4790+stock cooler with a 750 ti, 4gb of 1333MHz RAM, 500gig HDD, and sell it as an "Elite gaming pc!" in the ~$1400 range.

Sounds like something alienware would do.

 

Alienware have an aesthetic and a market that they know how to sell to. Op doesn't.
