Hey bro, just found your channel and both you're builds look clean. I've been thinking of getting into pc flipping myself. I might be wrong but aren't the psu fans supposed to face downward.

[@JackPCBuilds]

No you’re correct, and I just went over and looked at the build and was surprised to find that I did in fact mess that up. Anyway, it’s not the end of the world if the fan is facing up but you are correct that it’s optimal to have it down and there are quite a few reasons why. Never even noticed I did that, just must have accidentally turned it the wrong way when installing it. Thank you for pointing that out, I never would have realized.

[@nauman4077]

I always watch your videos on my TV so 4k is a great upgrade’ ! I loved the First build as i myself prefer Amd. But as always quality content. ❤❤

[@JackPCBuilds]

Great to hear the quality improvement is making a difference and glad you liked it as well.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Nice builds - surprised you are having troubles selling them.

[@JackPCBuilds]

Thanks. Yeah the first time I tried to sell it, it just didn’t get much interest because of AMD being less popular. But then I took it apart and swapped a ton of stuff but started having temperature issues and other complications. Honestly the original build with that card definitely would have sold by now if I had just left it in its original form and waited.

[@ConnorH2111]

Can't believe someone spent 1k on that 3700x 3070 build, i need to start flipping pcs.

[@DH.kij1]

Hi Jack, doing my first pc flip and your content really helped, parts are in the way and I can't wait to start, I've done work on my personal PC for ages and wanted to get into flipping, I'm selling a 12100f and rx 6600 build for around £600 I hope to start flipping more often as the market in the UK is not as big as in the USA, love the vids and keep up the good work. ❤

[@JackPCBuilds]

Awesome, wishing you the best with the flip! That’s what made me want to start. I had worked with my own systems quite a bit and liked it, saw some people on youtube doing this and thought “well I might as well try that myself.”

[@dennissmith1435]

I've been building PCs and have run into the very thing you mentioned with the second build. You use higher quality, recognized name branch parts which are generally more expensive and would cut your profit margin some. It's a conundrum. You could use cheaper parts, not as well known, but the performance would be the same. Most buyers just care about performance and they probably aren't going to recognize the more expensive name-brand parts. It's a hard decision. You also want the PC to be durable and reliable, which the more expensive parts might provide. However, it's just harder to compete.

[@JackPCBuilds]

Nailed this here too. For me it all depends on the deals that are available. I will try to target name brand components where I think it will be good for marketing but if nothing like that comes up I’m fine going with a lesser known alternative as long as it fulfills the same function. And I’m lucky to be able to frequently get some really good prices on higher end/name brand parts which I know not everyone else is.

[@gametestinglab8861]

That’s why on my build whenever it’s possible I try to get gently used brand parts. You would get cheaper than brand new junk motherboards or other components. You can sell for same price as junk pc or better yet you’ll be very competitive and flip PC fast. Marketplace it’s the way to go. I’m lucky having several MicroCenters close enough. I get open box parts what cheaper and bundles. Right now the best it’s MSI Z790 I7 12700K 16gb ram for 299$. Paying 3.4% sale tax on electronics in state of New Jersey and getting 5% off with MicroCenter card helps a lot.

[@shaneleach3636]

keep up the good content

[@JackPCBuilds]

Thank you

[@4fiHysteria]

Some advice, use 1440p, rather than 4k. It forces youtube to vp9 and 18mb/s rather than the 1080p setting of 10mb/s. 4k is obviously better but, needlessly more resource intensive when 1440p is definitely plenty. Even if you record in 1080p, and just upscale when you render out your video to 1440p, the same source file will look better on youtube as a result of this bitrate change. It makes a really significant difference in game footage, especially games like apex.

[@JackPCBuilds]

That’s great to know. I’ll experiment with some different settings on private videos since I have a 4K tv and I’ll be able to see how much of a difference there is between everything and hopefully find a good balance between it all. Thanks for the tip

[@CasualTechReview]

@@JackPCBuildsone of my flips actually, love watching other people flip them too 😅

[@MrNopehaha]

Just found your channel, I'm building a high-end pc with the last money I have, the build will cost around $2500. Could you please make a video about how to sell on facebook marketplace, how do you show that the PC works, how does the transactions work in person, etc. Can you also tell us what software you use for benchmarking games during gameplay? Much appreciated

[@JackPCBuilds]

Are you saying you want to flip that $2500 PC?. If you have never done this before I would highly recommend starting out with a cheaper system because that’s a big investment. But regardless of that I hope it goes smoothly for you. For the rest of your comment, I already plan to make videos about this stuff at some point, but that probably won’t all be answered for a long while, so I will give you written answers to all of those questions right now. Since I am not quite old enough to actually sell on facebook marketplace myself, my parents manage that part. But I control what actually goes into all of the listings, pricing, responses to messages. To prove that it works we will always just send a video showing the computer plugged in and running with some sort of written timestamp to prove it wasn’t prerecorded (to reassure the buyer) For the transactions it basically just goes as follows: drive to a meeting spot, meet the buyer there, allow them to take it out of the box if they want to look. If cash, take the money and count it, make sure it’s not counterfeit. If using another payment method well then do that. Then give them the computer and that would be about it (at least until tax season comes along if you’re doing it at a high enough volume for that to apply.) To benchmark, for the overlay I use MSI Afterburner / RTSS (they both install when you install afterburner). There are plenty of tutorials. Many ways you can get numbers to include in your descriptions. You can take the average in afterburner, which a lot of people do. Or you can just simply watch the FPS closely as you go about the game for 5-10 minutes, see what it usually hovers at and average it out yourself, which can be a bit better if the game is prone to huge stutters on loading screens and such which could affect the automatically calculated averages. Also 3DMark can be useful if you’re interested in that. It was on sale for under $10 recently on steam, not sure if it still is or not. I record with OBS because I don’t have a capture card at this point so I lose a little bit of performance in the games while recording as well.

[@saintgtx]

Love the content bro, can't wait to see you at 100k subs!

[@JackPCBuilds]

Haha, you might be waiting a while considering I’m about 0.3% of the way there right now. But all jokes aside, thanks for the support.

[@dennissmith1435]

AMD GPUs, the ones put out by AMD are rather notorious for cooling issues. That can be exascerbated if it's an OEM version of the card. The cooling solutions on the cards just aren't alwasy adequate. Board Partner cards are sometimes a good bit better with cooling.

[@JackPCBuilds]

Absolutely, that’s one thing reference cards from RDNA 1 and newer are heavily criticised for. And OEM cards usually are on par at best with the reference models.

[@MrNopehaha]

When building a higher-end PC, do you start with the CPU or the motherboard and then pick the CPU, how do you choose the platform you're going to make?

[@JackPCBuilds]

Honestly it just depends on what deals pop up. “Higher-end” is rather subjective and varies from person to person so I don’t know exactly what information you’re looking for, but I’ll just assume a build cost of $1000+ because the information from anything above $1000 is relevant basically the entire way up. I usually base it around the CPU. First and foremost you want the fastest GPU you can fit in budget and then a CPU that won’t bottleneck it (with some nuance). So I would always start a build thinking about that. And wait to select a motherboard until after I’ve selected the CPU (unless a great motherboard deal comes up first of course, then you can base the whole build around that instead). Past around $1000 AM4 stops really making sense. And at the very very top intel’s having instability issues right now. So for gaming-focused builds (productivity is different) it’s usually a showdown between the 7600, 13600K, and 7800X3D. Usually, all things considered AM5 is going to be cheaper than LGA1700, and within that platform the 7600 and 7800X3D are the best value propositions, both new and used (7500F too if you like to use aliexpress). You get the 7600 until the point where you’d be CPU bottlenecked by it and then beyond there you get the 7800X3D. And in terms of pure gaming there’s nothing better than that right now. None of the other AM5 CPUs make much sense either in terms of value for a gaming-focused build (again productivity is different). Mentioned the 13600K as well if you happen to need intel because it’s slightly better than the 7600 in gaming and significantly better in productivity so it’s a good hybrid if the price is right. But again AM5 is usually just cheaper for the same performance most of the time. And the i9’s are having instability issues right now so they’re hard to recommend at the moment.

[@FoRk-One]

Please improve your workethics and maybe put your hands down while talking. Already said it but there is a lot of room for improvement on your hardware skills.

[@MagnumBarrage]

Hey, you might want to look into 3D printing cases and maybe a laser cutter. If you can find a source for metal frames where you can slide or add the 3D printed panels. I'm suggesting a laser cutter in case you want a clear panel and need to cut an acrylic sheet to size.

Yes. Assuming you’re referring to the $20 segotep unit. It’s B-tier speculative which is slightly below what I’d prefer but still acceptable for these components. I’ve been using it for ~7 months already as well. As for it being 20 something dollars that was an incredibly rare deal open box and a comparable unit will run you about $80-90 new

It’s just the ZTT discord server discord.com/invite/m72uv72 They have 3 deals channels. 2 are community run, 1 is run by mods. Keep in mind that in the public channels, some people will post terrible deals so you can’t blindly trust anything. But as long as you do research before buying, which you should always do anyway, you’re fine. And the anything in the official #ztt-deals channel is usually good.

[@JackPCBuilds]

No problem, let me know if you have any other questions.

[@spookytv4044]

what's the option in msi afterburner called for the gpu's hotspot temp?

[@JackPCBuilds]

Only available on certain radeons like this one but it’s just called GPU2 Temperature or whatever I renamed it in the overlay to say hotspot because it would be confusing for someone watching to see a GPU2 and they might think there’s a second gpu in the system which would be misleading. Afterburner on most gpu’s will not have an option to see the hotspot, but you can use HWINFO64 instead and that gives you a much more comprehensive dataset of everything: temps, voltage, clocks. Hope this helps and I can clarify more if needed

[@spookytv4044]

@@JackPCBuilds thank you for the answer

[@baldertech]

can you please talk about how you get the individual deals in the video, that would be very helpful to other PC Flippers to learn from. I would certainly appreciate it

[@JackPCBuilds]

Yeah, I usually have a section in the videos where I show things I’ve recently purchased and explain where I got everything. Which is why I don’t go into great detail during the build process/sale process. Just saves time in the video so it isn’t as long if that makes sense. But I can also go over all of the parts in this video if you want.

[@baldertech]

@@JackPCBuilds it would be great to hear about how you get the parts so cheap, like that Asus AIO for $54, for example. I am a PC Flipper myself and would love to learn

[@JackPCBuilds]

For the montech build the gpu and ssd were free because they were from my old pc. Yeah so for the majority of my cases and coolers I am buying from an auction store local to me, they liquidate amazon returns with no reserve price and highest bid gets it. Occasionally able to get really good deals on cases and coolers but almost never any other PC parts go for good deals there. Sometimes cable extensions. If you have something like that in your area they can be super valuable but I will warn that half the stuff comes broken and you really gotta know what you’re doing to avoid losing money (at least at the place I use) Then in general for other parts: For motherboards I mostly use amazon warehouse (which I guess just rebranded to amazon resale?) but I also occasionally buy from ebay as well. RAM/SSDs I will either just buy new. For ram I will buy used if it is a big saving but most of the time it isn’t. For SSDs if I see a refurbished one on ebay from a seller I trust I will buy those as well. CPU/GPU almost always from ebay. And for power supplies I have a couple of sellers I trust on ebay who sell reliable units which were used but well taken care of. So I mainly use what everyone else does but that amazon returns auction store is my secret for getting the good deals on parts other people can’t possibly imagine replicating, if that makes sense. However if I was operating on a larger scale it would not be viable because tech stuff does not go up for auction there super often.

[@JackPCBuilds]

Good luck with the build, seems very well balanced and the 6800 continues to be a great offering in terms of price to performance. Also, the antec 900 - where are you buying it? Or do you already have it from somewhere?

[@BillHutchison77]

I find flipping PCs with an AMD graphics card to be a lot more challenging than an Nvidia GPU. It's frustrating when performance is similar.

[@JackPCBuilds]

It’s unfortunate but we have to target what the buyers will actually buy. AMD is like 10% market share or something so it’s just a numbers game that most casual buyers aren’t going to know what a “6800 XT” is. But if they hear 3060 or 4060 or 3080 etc they know exactly what that is and that it’s good. Not to mention the lingering reputation for driver issues etc.

[@isaccorrea5247]

@JackPCBuilds what demographic are you building in? Are you in a big city or selling with small towns? How do you get passed the fact that you can buy a pre built 4060 build for $1,000? My plan is to explain that I'm not using cheap parts and building for love. Thanks

[@steveharris9251]

Also, how do you set yourself apart within a saturated market?

[@JackPCBuilds]

I sell in an area pretty close to me which is quite well developed (above avg income, below avg crime) but not a big city. It somewhat close to a large city though. For competing against the value of a larger prebuilt company - When you shop on facebook you basically accept that whatever you’re buying is going to be used, and probably not with a warranty. The people looking on there are already going to be aware of these things. So what you do instead to appeal to those buyers is offer better performance than the prebuilt companies do at the same price. Couple that with good aesthetics, little value-adds like 32GB of ram and a larger SSD (two areas almost all prebuilts skimp on), perhaps a better upgrade path by using a higher quality motherboard and PSU, and just general improved price to performance. And there will be people who are more than happy to buy from you instead of a name-brand prebuilt.

[@JackPCBuilds]

Personally to set myself apart I tend to build in a slightly higher price range (although I’ve been struggling with sales the last month or two as the market seems to have dwindled down a bit) and build with high quality components. I’m able to get really good cases for relatively cheap compared to most flippers so I use that to my advantage. Same thing with AIOs. You have to find something like that for you. Whatever it is. Either have something unique about your builds and your brand specifically or just have really competitive pricing. Those are the two best ways to compete most of the time.

The arc a380 is only like a 100 bucks right now. Think that would be a good gpu to try to get or think i should stick with amd or 580 or even maybe a 3050?

[@JackPCBuilds]

I wouldn’t do the A380, that’s more of a content creation card than a gaming card in my opinion. 3050 is kind of lackluster because it doesn’t actually perform much better than a 580 for over 2x the cost. The thing is that you really gotta buy used stuff to make profit and the 3050 doesn’t really have used value. 580 is the best value out of the 3 and also probably the most recognizable AMD gpu out there so I’d say that would be your best bet. But it really depends on what other parts you got for the rest of the system.

[@Xander_t]

@@JackPCBuilds it’s a am4 build with a 4600g

[@JackPCBuilds]

Ah ok, yeah 580 would be suitable for it then. Depending on how good of deals you got for the rest of it if you can still make profit that would probably be fine going all the way up to a 2060 or 3060 without any sort of meaningful bottleneck as well if you wanted to

Getting the perfect angles, trying to get the best lighting, and then, for the first time, fine tuning everything in photoshop to make it actually look as good as it does in real life. Because my phone has a bad habit of making all the colors just look very off by default. But turns out that this was shockingly easy to fix with just a few sliders.

[@ChrisKadaver]

A real noob mistake by me was getting two zalman i3 neo RGB for my first flips. The Air 100 is a bit more expensive where I live but looks way better without the cut put in the PSU shroud. Also the front look nicer as well. And real ARGB fans. Is it a RGB hub on the backside or is it just a splitter? How do you sync your corsair fans witht he ones in this case?

[@JackPCBuilds]

I'm not sure if you're asking about the first build or the second build since they both use corsair parts so I'll answer both. For the air 100 build, I'm using the argb hub which comes included with the case, which hooks up to the reset button on the case to change the colors. It did have an ARGB cable to sync to the motherboard (which I would have preferred), but for some reason I could not get it to detect in windows. I am not sure if this is a widespread issue with all air 100's or if it's just a defect on the one I got. (I haven't seen anyone else talk about this anywhere so I'd assume I just got unlucky with the one I received.) And then unfortunately for the cooler and its fans I'm just separately using iCUE and matching the colors in there to be the same as the color I select for the other fans using the reset switch. Not the best system but it works I guess. For the corsair 4000x build, I'm using iCUE for everything. iCUE has a plugin to sync with and control ASUS products as well. And since every other part which has rgb is from asus, that's all it needs to control everything.

[@ChrisKadaver]

@@JackPCBuilds Ah okey I see. Yeah I wondered by the 100 build. I have a corsair case which I intended to use with my upcoming main rig. It uses iCUE for it's intake fans. Also I have a deepcool AIO. Kind of sucks having to use two ways to set the colors. Especielly since drivers for ARGB seem to be taxing on the performance and gets even worse when using more than one solution.

[@JackPCBuilds]

Yeah it's always more annoying to deal with multiple softwares, but I've always been the type of person to set up the RGB once to whatever static color looks the best (usually red because it's darkest and least distracting) and then never touch it again. I'm not super up to date with their software but I would look into iCUE's hardware lighting settings. In my old PC I just set that to red and then barely ever had to open the software again. If you are concerned about having too much running in the background and prefer just always having your lights the same color that may be the route to take.

[@JackPCBuilds]

I'm sure you could find a way to do the same thing with the other fans as well. For example ASRock motherboards have a whole tool in the actual BIOS to adjust the ARGB headers' colors which I've used before to entirely avoid having to install anything in windows.

How you’d feel telling someone to build a PC for 1110$ budget and he tells you I’m putting a 6 core 4 year old CPU. Not great if it was me. Don’t know about you.

I get where you're coming from but in my opinion for a gaming-only build a 5600 is going to be more than fine. I personally would have no issues using a 5600 with a 6800XT in 2024 because it doesn't bottleneck it and still has an upgrade path if you did end up needing to later on. In fact, I actually used this GPU with a 3700X for 6 months last year in my personal PC and was happy with it. Yes I know the 3700X has 8 cores but the thing is that it actually does a little bit worse than the 5600 in games on average. And the next step up, a 5700X, doesn't improve gaming performance all that much - which is why I feel like the 5600 is the sweet spot for a gaming-only build. 5700X3D or AM5 are kind of the only upgrades that make sense to me if more CPU was needed in a gaming-only build. The main benefit of using an 8 core chip here would not be for gaming but rather for other productivity workloads, which is not what I am marketing this PC towards. So if it was a productivity build, absolutely. But for gaming I don't really see it the same way. For other workloads you'd also go with NVIDIA instead of AMD for the GPU. However I will agree with you about it being 4 years old. The fact that AM4 is a dead platform and a 5800X3D is your final upgrade IS an important downside to consider.

(to the main comment) That only tells me that you never build a PC. Or know too little about it. A 5600 will not bottleneck a lot of graphics cards. Especially if you play on 4K. It might lock a few FPS on some games on high CPU dependence. But hey, a mobo+RAM+CPU combo on AM4 for a good price is real.
