Basically I'm a 19 y/o that wants to start building computers and selling them to my community and on ebay. I'm doing it to save up for community college and get the experience and knowledge before I go in 2 years from now. Any advice is more than welcomed.

My target consumers would be people that don't have enough knowledge to know that this isn't a $750-800 computer. So that I can see some sort of profit.

I'd prefer if you didn't judge me, we all got to start out somewhere. If there is any problems or issues that I am not noticing, please inform me.

So you're scamming people to gain more money then the build is actually worth? Wow. Anyways, here's a build that should do for $600.

Not scamming, They know what they are buying, I will tell them everything that is in the computer, just won't put that in bold and out in the front like I will with the main parts. I would never scam someone.

 

[Cold_War]

Some changes I would make to the system.

This card is much cheaper, and is a more known brand:

Much better Zalman case and it is cheaper:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811235037

This PSU is much better than the Raidmax and is a much more trusted brand: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027

So more than likely I'll probably sell it for 700-725 now.

XFX gives lifetime warranties, so that's something. I wouldn't call Sapphire a more known brand.

The 7770 is basically half of a 7850. Maybe a bit better considering it's a GHz edition.

430W isn't the best for an AMD build, as they take up a good amount of power.

 

[Cold_War]

I've used Sapphire graphics cards in all of my builds and they are much cheaper than other graphic card brands and they are supremely reliable..

 

[SHORYUKEN]

How are they more reliable? Just because you have something personally and you enjoy it doesn't mean it's necessarily the best. I have an OCZ Vertex, but I recommend Sandisk over it, etc.

If he finds that he likes how it looks, how it sounds, etc. he should get it. I'm not saying Sapphire is bad, I've heard great reviews about the cards, but I trust XFX a bit more.

 

[infumed]

Not really worried about the better GPU. This is a low-budget computer designed for the lower class. The community I live in can't afford anything above 700 now that I think about it. I've done this before, tell them it'll cost around 900 they tell you they're interested and then you never hear from them again.

I feel comfortable with the changes.

I do like the information you provided on the XFX lifetime warranty, Lower class consumers eat that up like crazy.

Now I even get to advertise two free games . I thank you guys so much for the extra help.

New Total : $589.72

 

[SHORYUKEN]

It is a shame of not getting a 7850, but the 7770 is still a great card that should do your community good. Unless they are planning on playing Crysis 3 :lol:

 

[infumed]

That would be hilarious. Thanks again for your help m8.

 

[SHORYUKEN]

Np. Good luck with your build!
