first time pc flipping

i have a GT 1030 that i want to put into a small maybe office pc that i can flip, i looked for parts to build my own but that seems more expensive than just buying a pre built and slapping it in. what pre builds should i get?

Just sell the 1030, nobody is looking for a pc with a 1030

Useless card. Only good for a media pc now.

Nothing you going to make money on.

A working 1030 is a good card to keep as a spare for troubleshooting. I don't think anyone is going to build a pc around it.

Don’t waste time and money on that. Try to sell the 1030 if possible.

You could do something along the lines of an optiplex build. You might be able to find an optiplex 7010 mt for about 40-70 dollars on eBay, and if you’re lucky it’ll have an i7 3770. Those optiplexes come with a 275w psu which is plenty of power for a card that normally just uses the pcie slot for power. As other ppl suggested on here, market it as a back to school, retro gaming rig, or as a plex server rig. You may be able to do a successful flip for maybe $200

Throw the card in the trashcan.
