I want to build a custom desktop and I was wondering how much I could sell it for.
Amount invested:
Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte mobo with 4 memory slots (240-pin), 3 PCI slots (2 are 2.0 x16, the other is 1.0 express), 10 USB ports (4 2.0, 2 USB 3.0 on rear and 4 USB 2.0 on board, 2 Realtek LAN chipsets, 6 audio ports, and 8 channel audio
Processor:3.4 GHz AMD quad processor
Memory:4 gb RAM
Hard drive:1 tb SATA hard drive
Disc drive:8x speed BD-R burner
Cooling system: Amazing cooling system (haven't determined it yet)
Graphics card: NVidia GEforce graphics card: 1gb 256-bit gddr3
Casing: Amazing and sturdy case (not yet determined)
Looks powerful system and expensive as well, but you need to mention every device model so i can give an exact price to sell it. Like, motherboard model? and ram is it ddr2 or ddr3? and what at what speeds they run?.
But in general with the specifications you provided I give it $1500 at least.
Reselling computers like that isn't viable unless you already have a buyer lined up before you buy the parts.

Sorry bout that, the RAM is DDR3, and the mobo is a Gigabyte A-790FXTA-UD5.

Thanks for the tip Omni. Though I was hoping to build it for myself, and if I could sell it for more I would, and then I'd build an even better one. Unfortunately this is going to take me almost a year to buy all of the parts.
Nice motherboard, I think you get about 1.2k or 1.4k or so.
You should first find a buyer and than build it.

Sweet, thanks. I found a cheaper way to build a better one with totally new parts though. I'd be spending about $812. So, that'd be nice if I set up a buyer for $1,200-$1,400, if not I intended to make this desktop for myself.
As the above said, try and find a confident buyer first, but make sure he really wants to buy it so you're not just wasting your money and your time.
You should post ads on creigslist so that buyers can contact you and you then build the computer. Thus meaning you will be making profit.
I'm guessing you'd make a loss on the sale. Unless you already have someone lined up.
