it's kinda tough its super hard to build PC's and make any kind of reliable profit. People get desperate and sell pretty decent pc's for pretty cheap. Two years ago I got a $700 PC with a 4690k, H60 water cooler, Sapphire R9 390, 16gb ram, 256 SSD, 1TB HDD, nice gold 750 watt PSU, and a pretty nice Z97 gaming 5 motherboard. He bought that system and built it for 1600$ around and year and a half before I bought it so he literally lost more than half the value. When you're trying to actually make a profit it's almost impossible without being a reputable company that buys parts whole sale to get them for cheaper. I'd suggest bumping it down to 450 and just waiting until someone shows interest.
