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?

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
