Hi,
So I wanted to build a mid-range gaming PC. I really enjoy building PC's. It's like adult legos, or sitting down and doing a puzzle for me. And I want to build a valuable PC worth someone buying (I have two PC's of my own that I've constructed myself).
I would like to start casually (and occasionally) building something that someone would buy for the raw price of parts I bought + 10 % of the total price after I do the following:
But I am not an expert yet. I do not want to screw someone by making bad decisions, and taking advantage of them (in this case not intentionally). So, in summary, I don't plan to keep this machine. I am going to take the receipts, provide everything necessary to register warranties, and charge a premium of 10% on top of that for the cost of construction and overclocking. I intend to provide the results of my OC via 3dMark and Superposition (I have the premium versions), along with several free benchmarks.
To note, I understand compatibility, including the QVL list. For example, I chose a dual channel memory solution explicitly listed as tested and compatible in the chosen motherboard's QVL list. It seems like PC Part Picker is okay with the compatibility. Although it does list that the chosen PC tower has a USB-C IO option that would not have a connector for this motherboard. I want this to be a medium-range build, so I don't want to break the bank on a PC tower; but is there a better option for A) A motherboard that has the USB-C connectors, or B) A tower that does not provide an option that my mobo cannot make use of? Or maybe C) Is PCpartpicker incorrect here, because I read options on the B550 mobo's that I tried (tried more than the one selected) that mention USB-C connectors?
(Note, I have a Windows USB for installing the OS. This would be a ~16$ OEM key setup on this system, and the buyers will know it cost only that much).
Thank you for any suggestions!

I would like to start casually (and occasionally) building something that someone would buy for the raw price of parts I bought + 10 % of the total price after I do the following:
- Construct it correctly, and construct a GOOD PC that a reasonable person wants
- I go in and overclock it, and add extra value
