Hi guys I was just wondering if yall could help me with pricing my first build

Operating System-Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU-Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
RAM-6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 686MHz (10-10-10-25)
Motherboard-Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z77-HD4 (Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz)
Graphics 1024MB DDR5 GeForce GTX 650 (PNY)
Hard Drives - 1TB Western Digital WDC WD10EALX-759BA1 ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives-Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7270H ATA Device
- Card reader
Audio-NVIDIA High Definition Audio

this is in an Antec 900 case with 4 120mm fans 3 of which light up with blue LEDs
the one on the side is the cooler master Syckleflow 120mm and one 200mm big boy fan on top

I have been looking into building and selling Computers and this is the first one i am ready to sell... so any help would be graet

thanks

1. No power supply?
2. Is the RAM 3x 2GB? 686MHz?
3. An unlocked CPU but no cooler.

It needs more balance. I'd be a bit guilty to sell that build. When you're planning to run that as a service instead of "I'm just going to sell this on ebay", it's a whole different story.
 


sorry... dynex 520 power supply
will soon have 1x8 corsair dominator and COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO cpu fan
 
Corsair DOMINATOR RAM is overly priced and the only reason someone would buy them is to show off their system. It holds no noticeable difference over the Corsair Vengeance RAM and you pay a high premium for them.

So because you pay such a high price for them, you'll think to charge the system more. However, most people don't understand that so they wouldn't understand why you're charging them a high price for it. And it makes sense because there's no reason to opt for Corsair DOMINATOR RAM.

And Dynex is not a reputed PSU manufacturer. Try ones from Antec, Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, or XFX.
 


Ok... then i shall take this one back to the lab and work on it a bit more...
btw wat psu do you suggest as a 520 runs this very well
