Hi everyone, So i recently started building PCs from used parts and started flipping the for a profit (Today made £115!). I have a bit of a problem as I do not know which one of these bundles to buy, here are the ebay links:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Foxconn-H61MXV-V2-0-Motherboard-Bundle-Intel-Core-i3-2100-3-10GHz-4Gb-DDR3-/231879906982?hash=item35fd1e96a6:g:yq4AAOSw~gRVxL4k
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gigabyte-GA-H55M-D2H-Motherboard-Bundle-Intel-Core-i3-2100-4Gb-RAM-HDMI-/231886453309?hash=item35fd827a3d:g:gPsAAOSwu1VW8WLS
One of the boards is a gigabyte board which im 99% sure is better than the foxconn board, however is it worth the extra £5? My opinion would be yes however I want some opinions from other people.
Yes its worth it.
THe quality of the Gigabyte board is definitely better.
It also looks as it has more connectivity options etc.
gigabyte it is then, i just needed someone to support me idea so i wasnt the only one thinking that
THe Foxconn does ofc offer a newer chipset.
But that doesnt realy matter much.
yes i know, it wont be overclocked so it does not really matter.
Both chipsets, and that particular core i3 will most likely not support overclocking anyways.
main question will be, how much profit is there to gain out of it.
well turns out people that buy computers from me turn out to be retarded, and people i buy parts from locally are retarded too. some guy tried scamming me and selling me a "fully functional gaming" for £30 (which was shady) it was a gtx275 and i3 560. Turn out it has a wrong Psu, incorrect gpu cpu connectors and no hard drives and a damaged case. i wasn't an idiot and got it for £15 taking a risk. sold that system for £125 once i got it working, profit. That system i am building now i will put a gtx650ti into it i think and some pleb will buy the whole system for around 200. my area turns out to be really retarded in computers so its easy to abuse, as is majority of the uk.
probibly will sell for 230. heres the full ebay basket ( no gpu because i need a bit more funds) and yes i know cheap no name psu, whatever im selling the system right away.
