Get a new ryzen cpu not necessarily a r7 3700x or higher, an r5 3600 or even an older r7 2700x, r5 2600x should be good, as for the case I personally have a cooler master mb530p "full atx" but there are cheaper version if costs are a concern, hopefully this can somewhat help you

Even though you cannot overclock in the first place (people generally don't even know that).

    GREAT VIDEO!!! I love this idea of helping the community, like this! It’s accomplishing your same goal, helping the gaming community from novice first time builders to seasoned PC sellers! You’ve got my follow! I wanted to add some information that I look for too. I totally get where you, Greg, are coming from, in regards to his mention of “not overclocked”. As someone mostly purchasing used parts to either flip them or repair another clients machine wouldn’t care if this was overclocked, but as a general consumer I do actually find it necessary. Saying “light gaming” is pointless though lol There’s no real benchmark for “low mileage” like a car haha IT’S USED, that’s the point? Lightly used or not it shouldn’t make a real difference, we are paying for a used product. I can tell you though, were this priced correctly and this was put up against another machine that WAS overclocked(with as similar specs as possible too), I would choose the machine NOT overclocked ANYDAY! I guess it would kind of matter how the ad was written too, I can tell a novice(this ad/machine) from a reseller or OEM resale. Some random person pumping the machine with more power than recommended, not to mention the different profiles they may have ran through to get it stable, is just what my brain starts thinking. Real or not lol and to that, it just isn’t something I would spend my money on. To me THAT is ALMOST a “low mileage” benchmark. It totally varies for me, but to just say it doesn’t matter, well I would disagree. I think the way its written in this ad, however, is totally null and almost wouldn’t give me confidence either, when you don’t know you have a SATA drive over an NVME drive that just makes me question what else he did wrong lol. In short, I would take a machine not overclocked, over the same machine that has been overclocked just about every time..... ESPECIALLY if there was ANY price difference(minus it being cheaper lol)......

    Nice way to add some variety to this series of videos, looking forward to seeing you mix more of these videos in. Frankly I think it would be worth it stripping the 6700, motherboard, and 1070 out and selling them on their own. Things like the powersupply, cooling, case, ram, and storage are still good and more cost effective to keep than sell. A good upgrade would be a 2700x/3600, MSI B450i, and maybe a 1650 super or 2060 or 5600 xt for a bigger budget. Thing is there is no reason someone would trade a better machine for a 5 year old one and selling the good parts sets you back when you buy them again. Looking forward to future videos!

    Although not a major point, it should be noted, that while yes, you can get all those parts used on eBay for about $140.00 cheaper, the buyer would have to assemble all the components, and although eBay buyer protections are good, there is the time and effort required to returning any defective parts, at least with this build it's complete (and allegedly functional). So that's when the Time Value of Money comes into play. What's the time it takes you to source, purchase, assemble, and deal with any problems that arise worth to the buyer?

    I've discussed time value in several videos. The answer: it isn't much. Building a PC takes a few hours at most - an hour at the least. It's easy. You shouldn't charge an engineer's salary for assembly. And buying used isn't difficult. You shouldn't be up-charging because "buying used takes time." Bogus.

    Greg, I have bought and sold many Gaming PCs in the last 7 years, and one thing that i have found that really helps sell, is to include even just a cheapo monitor keyboard and mouse, the seller should just go to Goodwill or Craigslist, find a $10-$20 LCD Monitor, a cheap keyboard and mouse, set up the computer and get a nice full system picture showing off everything. most of the people buying local on Craigslist, OfferUp, and LetGo are NOT enthusiast and PC builders but average users with no technical knowledge. so they would much rather have a whole setup (vs having to go out and buy the monitor and acessories) either that or a picture of it running makes them trust that it works much more than just a picture of the tower. I remember one time i was selling a PC years ago, $400 no interest, put in a cheap LCD i found at Goodwill for $5 and it sold in 1 hour. of course, as i have found out, make sure the monitor isn't tiny relative to the case, I once sold a Cooler Master Cosmos PC with a 19" Monitor, and while similar PCs sold for around the same, it was a PAIN becuase the massive case made the monitor look TINY.

And honestly, people should just get the 3600 AMD system. Newer tech, newer mobo, can get a better PC case, and amd 3600 ofcourse having more cores & threads. You can get the AMD 3600 system easily for 700 to 800cnd all depends on your GPU.

    For a five year old CPU the 6700k is pretty beefy. It's pinned at 100% on some titles in 4k but they run great regardless, and that's pairing it with a 2080 ti. Neither gets above sixty-five to seventy degrees. Considering selling the system, minus the GPU, once I get the new rig up and running. Just need to transfer music and picture files.

    Although you can piece together a PC for a given amount on the used market, it takes more time (much more sometimes) to do that than buying one already built. Just something else to take into consideration from a buyers perspective. But yeah that intel ryzen comparison is on point.

    you are so right on the ryzen cpus for 700 usd you can build a new system that performs better with more modern cases, better PSU (80+ gold) and just overall better. there is a reason the only part of the second hand market that is worth it is the gpu market these days.

    It's funny you mention the prices of a used i7-6700. I was helping a friend upgrade his PC which had a Pentium G4560. Thought we could just throw a used i7-6700 in it. Turns out we could get a new Ryzen 2700 with a budget B450 board for the same price and then sell the old mobo and CPU. Sometimes, used hardware makes no sense.

  • @PCTechHustle

    This kind of price range is very difficult to flip in. Especially if on old Intel now these days. Not many people are willing to front $700+ on used hardware. As you mentioned Greg you can build a brand new more capable system for that price via Ryzen. I’ve found the $400-500 market to be a very successful demographic as it’s not quite as easy to build a new parts PC in that price range that is capable of gaming modern titles without going the used route to grab better price-to-performance components. Thus people are more willing to spend $400-500 to get started with PC gaming.

    #1 tip. And this comes from someone who builds PC's and sells them as a source of side income. Post your PC for sale in other places besides for Craigslist. I honestly don't even bother with CL anymore because when I first started selling about a year ago I posted on FB Market, CL, and Ebay (with buy it now.) I got some nibbles from Ebay but soon realized I was going to end up paying more in shipping than I really wanted. And I got almost nothing from CL. But FB market and some FB buy sell trade groups even still are great for selling this stuff. Also timing seems to be important. I have a hard time selling PC's over $500 unless its around Tax season. Then they fly out the door faster than I can build them.

    Pictures are SUPER important! So are listing the specs and IMPORTANT specs in the title. Also cleaning up the PC or any item you're posting. I'm no super flipper or anything, but when I do post items for sale, they sell fairly quick. The longest item I've held on to was probably 1 week, +/- 2 days. Even if you did t take the best care of the item, if you clean it up a bit and can make it look good in it's surroundings/background, people will be interested. It's like a "first impression". Also, if there are damages, list them and take a picture of it also. People would rather know up front than be surprised when they show up to buy.

    I was gone at that case. I had the micro ATX version and it was garbage. Paint chips easily and the side panel is stupid soft. (My controller rolled into it and put a giant scuff in it). Don’t forget the atrocious cooling with choked intake and poor exhaust. Overheated and damaged my first 6700k build due to the solid top panel. It was too hot to even TOUCH the back of it when my computer shut down. Granted I was a noob with a 980ti in there and the BIOS was goosing the voltage, but still...stay away from these cases.

    One more thing i would recommend is to completely forgo craigslist and go ebay. I've noticed that its hard to sell things more than a couple hundred dollars on craigslist a lot of that is because when making that kind of purchase most people dont have 800 in cash. A lot of times when buying a computer people will want to use paypal or a credit card.

    My rule of thumb for used system pricing is the cost of building a new machine versus the price of used machine. If I can build new for the same or less than the used system, then I don't see the used system being a logical buy. I see a lot of sellers on Facebook marketplace who seem to miss out on that point. They think their used systems and parts go up in value with age, and we all know the truth about that subject.

    I added up the used price of components to build my computer (2nd gen I7-2600) and it came in around $300.00, yet I see computers like it advertized and sold for $450.00-$650.00. I'm still happy with my system and will probably keep it for two more years, but if I had to replace it I wouldn't pay more than $350.00. And if I were to sell it I would ask $450.00 if I didn't need to move it fast but would take as little as $300.00 if it didn't move in two weeks. People who buy high-end things aways think that they're worth more used than they are.

    I sold 12 PCs during the first half of 2019 and made some good money. I stopped because I saw the 3600 killing the used market. It drove down the price of all used parts and killed any margin you once had. Also, PSU prices went way up, killing more margin. The game is over boys, pack it up!

    Yeah, might need to drop the price in $50 increments weekly until a nibble comes along. I would probably just say something to the effect of: "Solid gaming system" and mention which games could play on ultra settings and whatnot. I would also load it up with whatever games/software I could. This guy is probably just getting some seed money for his next build. For me, I generally ask my friends who needs a free/cheap computer and gut my system for parts I would keep. My next giveaway will be a 2nd gen i7 with GTX 960, 32GB DDR3 and 160GB SSD with 500GB SATA (Been a long time since I seriously refreshed). Will wait for DDR5 though as I am doing a quantum leap in performance.

    As soon as you say 'never overclocked' or in cars 'never done any burnouts or added a turbo kit and blew a head gasket' ... it wasn't crossing anyone's mind to start with, so by adding it, all you do is trigger that thought in someone's head and more often than not - will put someone off. Also, most people aren't overclocking anyway.

    One thing that needs to be taken into consideration are the lowballers. If I list an item for what I want to actually sell it for, I get offers for 1/2 that. If I list an item for more, the "lowball" offer is in line with what I actually want. The buyer feels good for haggling down the price and thinking they scored a deal, and I get exactly the amount of money, OR MORE than I would have originally asked. Selling things online has become a real tightrope walk of potentially weeks' worth of wasted time, or quick money in my pocket. Take a look at r/choosingbeggars to see what a minefield it can be.
