Hello everyone im new to building pc's for resale so i would just like a few tips.
Im looking to spend £300 and getting around 360-400 back so i would just like some advice.

At this moment in time i have the psu, case, storage and ram
I need the rest of the build the parts i will buy will be second hand so just suggestions no need to direct link me.

So what i will need is a cpu motherboard and graphics card and the remaining budget i have is around £200 so can you please suggest some ideas

You won't get second hand gpu's for anything reasonable at the minute.

Even a gtx 750 is pulling £80 now.

Whats the aim of these systems??

General use - just stick an amd apu in there , leave the dediacted GPU out & sell for less money.

The issue with your £400 pricepoint is you can get a decent general use laptop - which includes keyboard, mouse, screen & a legitimate preinstalled os + its new & warrantied

Which would you go for as a prospective pc purchaser ???

Impossible to pick a motherboard or CPU without knowing what kind of ram you have.

Rather than buying a custom computer with no warranty made from used parts, I would advise anyone out there to buy a computer from a local retailer or large brand online. You will not be able to compete at that price range with any retail computers.

If you are wanting to sell custom computers, they have to be very very nice. Not just something anyone can put together.

Thanks for your response.
the ram is ddr3 so it would have to be an old intel generation. I respect your thought in people wanting brands but ive already built a few and they have sold so i am looking to expand sooner or later. But in all seriousness i appreciate your response!

Yes i am selling locally at the time im actually only 15 so i cant do anything massive haha. Basically what im trying to do is get money to save for a car in the future so anyway possible would be great. I could try mark them up but in the mean time i enjoy the sensation of putting the parts together so will probably buy them bit by bit
