I built this PC to sell. Found decent deals on the parts, had fun putting it together. I build a PC from time to time just to keep up with different types of PC hardware tech, then sell it. I enjoy it.

Pretty nice machine for not a lot of money - 3DMark score shows better than 77% of enthusiasts systems with 1660TI
For $350 more on top of closing price, I'll upgrade it to a 1080TI if the buyer wants -- and then the same benchmark shows better than 94% of enthusiasts systems.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Nice, do you normally take a loss, breakeven, or net a profit on your ebay builds? I'll toss in a bid, though I doubt I'll win it.

On full systems it’s usually break even or just a bit of profit. Not enough profit to do it regulary, unless you really just simply enjoy it.

When I custom build for people locally I just charge a flat fee of $200. That’s been the more profitable route.

This, in my personal opinion, was my best looking build I sold on eBay. At the time - mid 2017 - that was a beast of a system and I really liked the Deep Cool PC case. It was also the fastest booting machine I’ve ever built. I think it was compliment to that particular motherboard. Power button (cold) to windows desktop in right at three seconds.

Unfortunately, I lost about $100 on my parts cost and got nothing for my time. It’s a pretty cutthroat segment because you are competing with OEMs and firesale pricing.

The parts selection is solid from the looks of it.
