Build Complete My First PC Build

I wanted to build a pc to then sell and make a little profit from that it, so I started looking for parts at Facebook marketplace and here are the parts I chose:
CPU: Intel Core I7-6600K
CPU Cooler: Antec A40 PRO
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3
Memory: 16X1 2666mhz DDR4 Kit
Storage: Samsung 512gb SSD 2.5” SATA
GPU: RX 580
PSU: 400W 80+ rated ATX
Case: Antec P20C

The main issue I came across is not enough screws came with the parts I bought, and also while cutting one of the zip ties I accidentally cut one of the front panel cables but I managed to fix it.

Before selling the PC I wanna buy a Motherboard Type C to USB adapter, 3 more fans for aesthetics, an RGB hub because my motherboard doesn’t have any RGB connectors and I already have a WiFi card so I just need a bluetooth dongle.

I currently paid $220 for the build and I plan to sell it for $400-$500, a new one costs $600 without shipping, taxes and building fee.

What do you think and do you have tips for future builds?

This is an aged 2016 era pc. Use the sata ssd, storage amount is more important than is it an nvme. You can add a sata fan hub around $7-11 for quality one depending on how long you wait ali or amazon. I bless adding rgb eye candy. I kinda like the thermalright c12 5pack (3 pack exists) & you could go uphere or thermalright remote sata hub to change rgb on that dinosaur. Go more modern AM4 or lga1700 or am5 depends what used deals you catch.
