Is it worth GPU swapping this Aegis PC to flip, or just sell as-is?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to decide the best way to flip a prebuilt I currently have and wanted some experienced opinions before I spend money on it.

MSI Aegis R 

CPU: Intel Core i7-13700F

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB

Motherboard: MSI OEM B760 (LGA1700)

RAM: 16GB DDR5-4800 (2×8GB)

Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD

PSU: 650W 80+ Gold

Cooling: MSI tower air cooler

Case: MSI Aegis R chassis

Networking: Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, 2.5Gb Ethernet

OS: Windows 11 Home

💡 My idea

I found an ASUS RTX 4070 Super Dual for $450 locally.

My plan would be:

Buy the 4070 Super

Install it into this PC

Sell the RTX 4060 separately

Sell the upgraded PC as a 4070 Super system

❓ My question

From a flipping perspective:

👉 Is this actually worth doing for profit?

or

👉 Am I better off just selling the PC as-is with the 4060?

I’m trying to figure out:

If the GPU swap actually increases total resale value enough after fees/time

Or if I’m just tying up cash for little/no gain

📊 My rough thinking (feel free to correct me)

4070 Super upgrade cost: $450

RTX 4060 resale: ~$200–$250

Expected PC value increase: unsure (maybe +$150–$300?)

🙏 Would appreciate feedback on:

Whether 4070 Super builds actually sell fast in today’s market

If buyers even care about GPU upgrades in prebuilts

Whether flipping GPU separately is better ROI

Or if I should just list the system as-is and move on

Thanks in advance — trying to avoid wasting time/money on a flip that looks better on paper than in reality.

Ryzen 5700X3D+RTX 5080 64gb ddr4 vs 7800X3D+RTX 4080 32gb DDR5

I have some questions about Ryzen 5700X3D+RTX 5080 64gb ddr4 PC vs 7800X3D+RTX 4080 32gb DDR5 PC

Which one will perform better and which one do you think will sell better. They are separate PC listings on Facebook marketplace and I am thinking of picking up one to flip. Both are the same specs besides the CPU, ram, and GPU. Same 850w PSU and 2tb SSD, they are listed at 1600$ USD. I was thinking of selling either PC for about 2500$ USD after rebuilding them into nicer cases

How to flip Intel arc GPUs?

I recently spotted a really good deal on an i5-13600f, arc a750, 32gb ddr5 and a b760i for ~730 USD. I was wondering if I were to part it out and keep the ram, how would I sell the GPU? The arc series were ridden with a lot of driver issues, so would selling it be hard? And what price would it sell at? Would appreciate any advice, thanks!

Stay active on marketplace! The deals are out there (I'm bragging in this post)

In the last two weeks I've picked up the following builds.

  • $500 - 7600x3d, 32gb ddr5, 500gb nvme, 2070 super
  • $350 - 9700x, 16gb ddr5, 2tb nvme, 4060ti 8gb (I had no idea what this one was, the seller was so lazy he didn't post anything at all except the gpu and the pictures were hot garbage, didn't even show the glass side of the case)
  • $450 - 12600k, 16gb ddr4, 1tb nvme, 3070ti, monitor, keychron keyboard, razer mouse
  • $200 - ryzen 5500, 16gb ddr4, 1tb sata ssd, 6500xt

I sold the first build to a friend at cost and helped him put a 9060xt 16gb into it, we used the 2070 super to upgrade his son's pc, so there was no profit there but it was fun to help a friend.

The second build I've already sold everything but the mobo, case, and psu, made $350 profit so far

3rd and 4th builds I just picked up yesterday so I haven't touched those yet.

stay on that marketplace grind y'all!

MSI RTX 4070 Super Ventus 3X OC for $450 on Facebook Marketplace

MSI RTX 4070 Super Ventus 3X OC, local pickup, DMV area. Listed at $450. Photos show it still wrapped in plastic, no dust or wear, basically untouched.

Used 4070 Supers are going for $550-600 on eBay right now, so there’s a solid $100-150 in it at asking, more if you can talk the price down.

Still live as of tonight.

Not affiliated with the seller, just sharing since it’s a good one. Happy to send the listing link if anyone wants it.

I run a scanner that watches FB Marketplace and Craigslist across DC/MD/VA every 15 minutes for deals like this — DM me if you want alerts when they drop.

Trying to sell my pc but I’m not getting offers

I’m trying to sell my pc right now, for $2100
The specs:
Ryzen 9800x3d
Asus prime 5070
32gb ddr5 6000mghz
Tyrx panoramic 360mm aio
1050w psu
Lian li case and fans
Aorus x870e
2tb ssd

I’ve gotten a offer for $1700 but that’s too low imo, ChatGPT says it’s in the right price range, but it’s hard to find people trustworthy to buy this, not to mention I’m not getting many messages that arent lowballs. Everything I’ve received so far has been under 1.4k.

Edit: I got this pc for about 1.6k from someone else thru a trade and cash on top. I have my main pc with a 7800x3d and a pny 5070

I think maybe I should sell the gpu separately and part out a few pieces such as the aio and fans too, but it’s kinda a hassle

Selling Brand New 9060XT(too big for my tiny case 😭) Lf close to full price 🌝

Selling for over $400!!! No offers under $400!!!

u/Designer-Sun-3106 — 5 days ago

Is my pricing really worthy of a laugh react or am I tripping? Do buyers not understand the SFF tax?

I figured $350 was a decent price for selling this build, but the laugh react is making me question it. The GPU is a Yeston 3050 which sells for $250ish by itself once you consider shipping. Tbh if I parted this out I'd probably get about $350 back.

Like yeah, it's not the best "gaming" PC, but for the form factor it's basically high end. Is my price really that crazy? Or am I just overthinking it?

EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 for $900 on Facebook Marketplace in the DMV — still up

EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra 24GB, local pickup, DMV area. Was listed at $1,100, dropped to $900. Seller says gaming only, never mined.

Used RTX 3090s are moving around $1,000–1,050 on eBay right now so there’s $100–150 in it at asking, more if you negotiate down.

Still live as of this morning.

Should I just flip this or do a proper build with it?

Hello there people, so I have the possibility to take this bad boy for 150 bucks home but I am not sure what to do with it… should I make a build with it and then resell it or just resell as it is?
I remember that it got also a dedicated graphics card but is an intel arc a310 so….. yeah not big deal but still;
I am curious to hear from you!

how much can i sell this for in canadian market (ontario)

Hey everyone,
I’m curious what this PC would realistically be worth as a flip in the Canadian market. What would you list it for, and what selling price would you realistically expect?

Also, for those of you who flip PCs in Canada, what types of builds have been working best for you lately? (e.g. budget gaming PCs, mid-range, high-end, AM4 vs. AM5, Intel vs. Ryzen, etc.) I’d love to hear what’s been selling well in your local market. Thanks

Specs :

Ryzen 7 5800x
RTX 4060
32gb ddr4 rams
1tb ssd nvme
650w 80plus gold psu
msi b550 a pro

Somehow got this for 50£ on fb marketplace

This fella was selling a pc on behalf of someone who unfortunately passed away for 400£, I thought I was a good deal for that price but he told me it was broken. He wasn't very sure what the problem was so I offered 50£ for it. Whoever was in charge of this guys stuff agreed and I picked it up for that price, turns out there where a bunch of weird bios setting preventing it from booting into windows so I just did a clean install after resetting the bios to default and it all worked fine. I couldn't believe it as I had to sell my other pc not long ago to make rent as I'm super broke. The aio was cooked so I replaced it and put some new fans and led strips inside. Total cost was 38£.

I feel super lucky, but also a bit bad that I paid so little, what are your guys opinions?

Rip previous owner, I'm super grateful.

Specs

i7 10700k
2080 super
32gb ram
1tb m.2

I think it's an Msi prebuilt as it has Msi "creator" written on the side and the case, motherboard, fans and gpu are all Msi.
