lol, heres a tip, don't build a machine for profit until you have a buyer. Let the buyer pick out the parts he wants, or advise him. I've made a few bucks here and there building machines for people, we discuss what they want, what they need, what they can afford, if they're not tech savvy, I'll educate them on why the parts I recommend will meet their needs, help them find good deals on parts (Tiger Direct and Newegg frequently trade off on sales for example) and tell them to buy the parts and I'll put it together for 50 bucks. The way you're...


You want to sell your"new" gaming computer you built 2 weeks ago at a loss to buy parts for a new one? Well, I see you plan things well.. Do you blow your whole paycheck on lottery scratch off tickets too?

I'd say its worth 400 bucks, at best, maybe I'm biased because I can't believe you're actually serious.

And no, the FX-6350 would be fine to pair with a strong graphics card, just bump it up to 4GHZ and you have an 8350 as far as game coding is concerned. Most games are GPU bound not CPU since few games will actually recognize more than 2 cores.

worth 400? the GPU is almost worth 400! Also, I am just trying to build one and make profit off it for someone that doesn't have the time to build one. My FX- 6350 is at 4.2 GHZ boost.

The way you're trying to make money is probably not going to work, you've removed the main advantage of buying a custom built system, by removing the option for the customer to customize a system to meet their needs specifically. What you've done is essentially like buying a car, it loses value the minute you put the key in it and drive it off the lot.

Keep the Mobo, GPU, COU, HDD. Case, SSD, Cooler,
and sell the CPU. Get a 8350 later.
