I did notice your graphics card seemed a bit less overpowered next to the rest of it, but still, why not keep the rest of the stuff?

the rest of the stuff I'll buy and assemble.
If I sell that as a pre built PC for 700USD, I'd be making 300 to get towards the upgrade
I'd rather sell a whole system than parts

Ohh, alright. I thought those were the components already in your computer and was wondering what you could possibly be upgrading to.

the only parts I have are the GPU and CPU, but they are expensive and I want to make some of it back

I'd be buying that CPU off you if I knew if it can be put into my motherboard. And if you didn't want to sell all of that as a whole. And if I wasn't in Germany.

it would be cheaper to buy it new than ship it to you.

I'm thinking 700 bucks for a prebuilt gaming rig sounds about right. Maybe 800 if I want to price closer to the market value

I'd say take a look at what a prebuilt of equivalent power costs and chop a couple hundred off that.

most prebuilt PC's don't use high end AMD CPUS or GPUS

True. Hell I'd buy that thing in an instant if I didn't want to have the experience of building my own for the first time. Also I'm $500 short this early in seasonal work.

Hey guys, will adding RAM to my PC increase the graphical power? My friend gave me some RAM from old computers so now I have 1 GB more. Also, my PC is shit, seeing as I don't have a job.

RAM does nothing for graphics.

daisies, I thought so.
Well I guess I'll keep playing TF2 on 720p with ultra low graphics.

the only thing is that RAM can easily become a bottleneck for the rest of the system. Too little and even the best system becomes crap

With how cheap RAM is though there's really no excuse to let a good system become crap for that reason.

16 gigs of RAM is less than 100 USD usually, so I see no reason not to go overboard
