Media Center>Gaming Rig Starter Build For Sale
Fish 10:56 PM 10-18-2021
If anyone around Northland/KC is looking for a good all-in-one gaming rig, my best friend has one for sale at good price. We went to engineering school together, I can vet his computer expertise. Built by him for his father in law as a flight control rig, but that didn't work out and they'd like to sell it. Wasn't used much at all. Prices listed per pcpartpicker several weeks ago, but he said he could work with the price if anyone is interested. Let me know, I can put you in touch. Good deal, just wanted to mention considering how hard it is to find a decent build at the moment. Nothing fancy as far as lights or glass panels, but quality parts and build and includes nice curved monitor. I just did a quick check, and that included graphics card is actually currently selling for about double that price. He's as big of a nerd as I am, and could ask any technical question you might have. Let me know if anyone is interested. Just wanted a local to have a chance, because this is a quality PC for the price.

Component - Item - PricePurchase Total: $1,284.12

Perhaps less RAM and storage? Yes, considerably less. Along with every other component. Including a 144Hz monitor.

If you want a cheaper machine with much cheaper components and no monitor, go buy that piece of shit AMD system in your link. I'm not trying to argue that there are cheaper inferior products available.

This discussion is about the video card.

The link I found was just for the most recent deal on an ancient video card from your post. In recent months I"ve seen i5 systems with more/better ram and storage for as low as $600.

As noted, the monitor is nice, but it's only a $200 monitor. So kick it up to $800 if you want. Still not worth anywhere near the price list of the parts.

Especially with Black Friday sales coming, which will likely still be higher than prior years based on the Walmart ad that just came out, but still likely to include modern video cards at a better price.

... dumbass.
:-)

This dipshit found a new money making scheme buying pre-builts and selling the video card for twice what you paid.

Again the system with monitor might MIGHT get $700.00.

Also the storage is fucking garbage. 7200 RPM Seagates are cheap and dated as shit.

Like I said the only thing you can salvage from the build is the RAM and even THEN its not even considered mid grade anymore for timing.

So if you buy a piece of shit pre built for $600 and then take out the graphics card in it to sell for $600 how much money did you make?

The rest of the computer is a piece of shit. Maybe someone buys the cpu. Maybe.

In this market he can easily get more than $700.

I would say that the only way to get there would be to sell the GPU separately and then the rest of the computer as a whole. Could probably get like $500 for the computer without the card and separately the card will net $500+.

The prices on the list are pretty damn close to new retail so if we did some used price rounding... $300ish for the CPU+mobo+ram. $120ish for the storage. $200 for the rest of it. So thats roughly $620 + w/e for the GPU.
