Hey, cool to hear! It all comes down to your own personal experience to be honest. Myself and many others struggle to sell PCs with amd cards, so I’d typically recommend just going with nvidia unless you get a really good deal. But if you find more success with them where you are then go with whatever works for you.

👍

Yeah, I bought it something like a year ago for $47 on ebay and it passed PSU tests and everything (still does) but that doesn’t always tell the whole story as shown here.

That’s a long time, wow. Good to hear it works in places outside of the US too.

Thanks! And nice, I do get what you’re saying about how some markets it just wouldn’t work the same as others. Definitely do whatever you find works best in your own market and just stick with that.

Got it, thanks for the info / correction.

Yeah I at one point tested it in a 4000D wwhich is a larger case, with all fans, and it peaked at like 96 or something Assuming fans below the card would be even better

@@JackPCBuilds yeah the fans i put in were the ones at the bottom

Nice, obviously I’ve got no experience with hardware that old but I’m sure it was a much different experience

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Actually surprisingly good. I have a dell 6800 XT with some pretty annoying temperature issues but the 3080 seems to be better. And the fans don’t get nearly as loud as my 6800XT since the card itself doesn’t suffer the same temperature issues. Memory gets a little hot but that’s just kind of how it goes with GDDR6X. And they look decent in builds too. The green pcb is kind of annoying and the static white led can’t be changed but the backplate covers most of the PCB and overall they look decent in my opinion. So if you can get one for a good price I’d say go for it, there’s no major downsides. GN has a review of their [I think] 3090 which is basically the same design as the 3080 if you want some more info.

Facebook marketplace Been a bit slow the last 2 months compared to how it was before. Not sure if something changed with the platform or if it’s just a natural dip in the cycle of things but I’m sure it will pick back up here going into Q4.

It’ll be a bit before this happens but behind the scenes I’m in the process of planning and scripting an entire series on stuff like that. Way more in depth than could be covered in just one video. And it’ll be a while before it’s all finalized and I actually start posting them, but I am working on it. If you’d like to help me a little bit with it feel free to leave another comment with any other things you might want to see covered. I’m looking to get as much content as possible to cram into those videos so any ideas are appreciated.

Will do. Great idea thank you

Oh that’s interesting. I never thought of doing it in the title. I’m in talks with someone on that one right now actually but they haven’t fully committed yet so if it doesn’t sell to this person then I might just try that.

Thanks!

Thank you. Working on it

@@JackPCBuildsby the way, I’m looking to start my pc flipping journey too, I have a question. How long does it usually take for someone to buy your computer once you put it on sale?

These last 2 months, each one has taken between 2 weeks and a month on average. Before then though the average was around 5 days-2 weeks to sell. It’s slow right now but expected to pick up again here in Q4.

@@JackPCBuildswhat GPUs usually sell the best in your builds?

Anything 30 or 40 series works best for most people. Except maybe the 3050 because even used it’s overpriced for what you get. And for 40 series the only one I’d recommend would be the 4060 or 4070 because most others you’re going to have a hard time finding a good deal on.

Thanks 👍

I’m in the process of planning out an entire series of informative videos on stuff like that. It’ll be a long time but if you want to help out, are there any other topics you’d want to see covered? I’d love to hear any suggestions because all of that is potential content which helps me, which in turn ends up helping you and everyone else again.

@JackPCBuilds ill think on it man. Just keep doing you. Great content

Thanks

Thank you and I’ll keep that in mind if I end up wanting to change it

Combo price

@@Yo-Itz-Ayden Yes, that's what I thought 🤔.

Yep, ram was a combo. SSD this time around was free from a family member but they are also a part that is frequently in newegg combos too.

All these flip channels are the same, oh I got a great deal on an rtx 3080 for 100 bucks and then some 32gb of ram for 15 on my local marketplace. I have been fliping PC's for 8 years now and I can tell you I have never seen a deal like some of these channels claim

@@TheDarknessOfNun we’ll all markets are different. My mark is dry to there’s really good deals where I’m at

Thank you!

Thanks

Yeah so funny enough I actually had a sentence as part of the price breakdown where I said “I know I’m still overpaying for windows but I’m planning to experiment with other retailers soon” Thank you for the recommendation. I’m going to spend some time next week looking into a couple of cheaper vendors, I’ll keep them in mind when I do so.

Oh I didn't catch that, definitely try out other retailers, you can make 30 bucks more profit on every build! Haven't had an issue with premiumcdkeys yet. You get the key in the mail in seconds.

​@@user-hi1yg5el1d It appears I accidentally forgot to finish a sentence when I wrote my original response to your comment, sorry. I meant to say that I actually had a sentence about that as part of the price breakdown *that I decided to cut out because I figured it wasn't important.* I forgot to put the "that I cut out" part in my initial response to your comment. My fault for not proofreading, sorry for any misunderstanding. I don't know if what I just said this time around even makes any sense either but I tried my best to make it make sense.

Yeah no worries, makes sense. I've been really enjoying the videos lately, just wanted to leave a helpful tip. Cheers

Thank you, I will

Thank you

True

and ytx which is like eatx but chopped in half

but its not gonna look any thing like these beasts

Haha thanks, good luck with the journey!

Thanks lol

@@JackPCBuilds not my fault you’re good

👍

Thank you

@@JackPCBuilds welcome

Soon as I get it edited. Went on vacation 2 weeks ago, got home and worked on it a lot, but then haven’t been home again the last 3 days. Coming home today though and hoping to have it out by tuesday.

Where do you live??? I got that on a deal, they would normally be $60, but 6X more??

@@JackPCBuilds Brazil, it's difficult to have something good in this country, everything is very expensive, I wanted to buy an SSD but I can't afford it because I don't have enough money left in the month to buy something of that value, in my case.

@@isaccorrea5247 Ah, unfortunate to hear that. I'd assume then that you're still on an HDD, so if you ever do get the chance to upgrade it will make a world of a difference.

@@JackPCBuilds I have an Asgard NVME, which I bought on Aliexpress, I paid for it crying because I didn't have the money hehe, I paid the maximum amount in installments, I have an NVME and a HD, I wanted another NVME to remove the HD, but without any conditions now, it's very expensive even with the promotion, and shopping on Aliexpress is no longer worth it depending on the piece as the tax applied is the same value as buying here in the country.

Depends on your market and the other parts but I recently got a 3060 ti as well and am planning a 5600X/3060ti build as well. I will target around $800 for the sale price whenever I list that one. So somewhere around there

@@JackPCBuilds thank you❤

​@@JackPCBuildsPlease man, not a 3060ti build. You're better than that.

@@FireCestina1200 Better than what?

That sounds really cool but no idea how I’d do any of that, maybe if I scaled up more in the future though it could be cool.

Thanks. Ask whatever, I’ll try to answer if I can.

@JackPCBuilds what demographic are you building in? Are you in a big city or selling with small towns? How do you get passed the fact that you can buy a pre built 4060 build for $1,000? My plan is to explain that I'm not using cheap parts and building for love. Thanks

Also, how do you set yourself apart within a saturated market?

I sell in an area pretty close to me which is quite well developed (above avg income, below avg crime) but not a big city. It somewhat close to a large city though. For competing against the value of a larger prebuilt company - When you shop on facebook you basically accept that whatever you’re buying is going to be used, and probably not with a warranty. The people looking on there are already going to be aware of these things. So what you do instead to appeal to those buyers is offer better performance than the prebuilt companies do at the same price. Couple that with good aesthetics, little value-adds like 32GB of ram and a larger SSD (two areas almost all prebuilts skimp on), perhaps a better upgrade path by using a higher quality motherboard and PSU, and just general improved price to performance. And there will be people who are more than happy to buy from you instead of a name-brand prebuilt.

Personally to set myself apart I tend to build in a slightly higher price range (although I’ve been struggling with sales the last month or two as the market seems to have dwindled down a bit) and build with high quality components. I’m able to get really good cases for relatively cheap compared to most flippers so I use that to my advantage. Same thing with AIOs. You have to find something like that for you. Whatever it is. Either have something unique about your builds and your brand specifically or just have really competitive pricing. Those are the two best ways to compete most of the time.

Awesome, wishing you the best with the flip! That’s what made me want to start. I had worked with my own systems quite a bit and liked it, saw some people on youtube doing this and thought “well I might as well try that myself.”

Honestly it just depends on what deals pop up. “Higher-end” is rather subjective and varies from person to person so I don’t know exactly what information you’re looking for, but I’ll just assume a build cost of $1000+ because the information from anything above $1000 is relevant basically the entire way up. I usually base it around the CPU. First and foremost you want the fastest GPU you can fit in budget and then a CPU that won’t bottleneck it (with some nuance). So I would always start a build thinking about that. And wait to select a motherboard until after I’ve selected the CPU (unless a great motherboard deal comes up first of course, then you can base the whole build around that instead). Past around $1000 AM4 stops really making sense. And at the very very top intel’s having instability issues right now. So for gaming-focused builds (productivity is different) it’s usually a showdown between the 7600, 13600K, and 7800X3D. Usually, all things considered AM5 is going to be cheaper than LGA1700, and within that platform the 7600 and 7800X3D are the best value propositions, both new and used (7500F too if you like to use aliexpress). You get the 7600 until the point where you’d be CPU bottlenecked by it and then beyond there you get the 7800X3D. And in terms of pure gaming there’s nothing better than that right now. None of the other AM5 CPUs make much sense either in terms of value for a gaming-focused build (again productivity is different). Mentioned the 13600K as well if you happen to need intel because it’s slightly better than the 7600 in gaming and significantly better in productivity so it’s a good hybrid if the price is right. But again AM5 is usually just cheaper for the same performance most of the time. And the i9’s are having instability issues right now so they’re hard to recommend at the moment.

Are you saying you want to flip that $2500 PC?. If you have never done this before I would highly recommend starting out with a cheaper system because that’s a big investment. But regardless of that I hope it goes smoothly for you. For the rest of your comment, I already plan to make videos about this stuff at some point, but that probably won’t all be answered for a long while, so I will give you written answers to all of those questions right now. Since I am not quite old enough to actually sell on facebook marketplace myself, my parents manage that part. But I control what actually goes into all of the listings, pricing, responses to messages. To prove that it works we will always just send a video showing the computer plugged in and running with some sort of written timestamp to prove it wasn’t prerecorded (to reassure the buyer) For the transactions it basically just goes as follows: drive to a meeting spot, meet the buyer there, allow them to take it out of the box if they want to look. If cash, take the money and count it, make sure it’s not counterfeit. If using another payment method well then do that. Then give them the computer and that would be about it (at least until tax season comes along if you’re doing it at a high enough volume for that to apply.) To benchmark, for the overlay I use MSI Afterburner / RTSS (they both install when you install afterburner). There are plenty of tutorials. Many ways you can get numbers to include in your descriptions. You can take the average in afterburner, which a lot of people do. Or you can just simply watch the FPS closely as you go about the game for 5-10 minutes, see what it usually hovers at and average it out yourself, which can be a bit better if the game is prone to huge stutters on loading screens and such which could affect the automatically calculated averages. Also 3DMark can be useful if you’re interested in that. It was on sale for under $10 recently on steam, not sure if it still is or not. I record with OBS because I don’t have a capture card at this point so I lose a little bit of performance in the games while recording as well.

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by improving my workethics, elaborate? As for the hands I have never been taught proper body language or how to properly speak on camera or anything.

I understand you don't want to watch my videos so I'm sorry if they keep showing up even when you click don't recommend. If you clicked don't recommend, it should stop recommending it, but I know youtube doesn't always seem to remember that. I've had that problem before myself. That's out of my control. As for the rest I am always open to criticism and improvement. For example this video is 3 months old and after several other people pointed the same things out as you, I re-evaluated the market for the first time in a while and lowered my pricing a good bit. So if there are "many flaws" in my systems, I would appreciate if you would direct me as to what these flaws are so that I can actually improve. However I can not think of a single "fire-hazard" PSU I've ever used in any of my videos. The absolute worst one I've ever used was a Segotep GM850 - B speculative. And I had personally used it for many months without issue, putting it in what is generally the safest zone of the bell curve when it comes to hardware failure rates. Far, far better than a lot of the PSUs that many of the very largest youtubers in the industry use and RECOMMEND; many of them are pairing high end GPUs with some random apevia psu that doesn't even have APFC. I would also appreciate it if you could show me how I am misinterpreting the data when it comes to the 4070 Ti vs 3090.

Thanks

I usually just hook the PCs up to the TV since it’s 4K and a pretty nice one at that. Samsung QN90A 75” I also have some old dell 1080p 60hz monitor which I hook up a secondary computer to sometimes but I’m assuming that’s not the one you were asking about.
