So, I am in the process of building a cheap PC. It isnt finished yet but I have everything to make it work, I am currently just upgrading everything. So I'll tell you what I want it to be.

 

Here's the build:

 

CPU - Intel core 2 Quad Q6600

Motherboard - INTEL DQ35JO

RAM - 8GB (4x2GB) of DDR2 800MHz

GPU - GTX 460 768mb or 1024mb/GTX 560 1024mb

PSU - WinPower +Plus 550w

Storage - Gloway Warrior Pro T300 120GB HDD & Seagate Barracuda ES.2 1 TB,Internal, 7200 RPM, 3.5" (ST31000340NS) Hard Drive

Case - Some acer aspire case I already own

OS - Windows 10 or Linux Ubuntu

Add on cards - Network card Mini PCI-E Express to PCI-E Wireless Adapter w 3 Antenna (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-PCI-E-Express-to-PCI-E-Wireless-Adapter-w-3-Antenna-WiFi-for-PC-/321971060691?hash=item4af6f87fd3:g:f-oAAOSwL7VWkNM6) & 4 Channel 5.1 Surround 3D PCI Sound Audio Card (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Channel-5-1-Surround-3D-PCI-Sound-Audio-Card-for-PC-Windows-XP-Vista-7-8-10-/231825122493?hash=item35f9daa4bd:g:1cIAAOSwUV9WpZeJ)

 

I haven't calculated its total cost yet but I just want to know what it is worth.

 

Kind regards, Brennan Price.

You will not make money by building computers, and then selling them back.

Unless you are decently well known, and have been contracted to build something by a client, the odds of it selling for even the SAME as you bought the parts for are slim at best. 9 times out of 10, you are going to lose money.

I haven't calculated its total cost yet but I just want to know what I could get in return if I did sell it.

 

Kind regards, Brennan Price.

I'd say around $250-$300

You're buying a low end PC to try and resell it?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Not quite. I am building a PC that currently has low end parts but am upgrading it to resell it.

But like this isn't your main/only PC?

Oh no, I would never sell my main PC. My main PC is on my profile page of the forum. I am selling the other PC as a means of getting more money for a new BMX or more High end PC parts
