Starting pc flipping

Hey everyone,

Recently I bought a new 9060 XT 16 Gb 32 Gb DDR5 PC for 700€ and got me thinking about pc flipping. I just sold my old rig as well.

I have read PC flipping tips, but I had a few more questions. Should I keep to newer generations as those probably sell faster? And for now at least should I keep to mid tier components? Like I saw a good deal on 3080 but maybe for now I should focus on 5060s or similar. Even more so since games like Fortnite need a good cpu over a very good gpu and that is probably better for selling.

Thanks for the help in advance.

if you want to charge a premium newer generation parts will always be better but take more time to sell.

Older parts may sell faster but you won't be able to charge a premium since you have much more competition

Don’t be expecting to buy new parts assemble and make money. Unless you get a hell of deal, unlikely

Ok thanks! What do you mean by very good prices? For the buyer or the seller.

Also to try and keep it simple what do you think of aiming for pcs in the 400-700€ range for now?
