i have built a pc and wish to sell the item on eBay. it is to be used for gaming.
You will find below the specification below:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz Processor
2GB 800MHz DDR2 Memory
MSI 975X Platinum Power Up Edition Motherboard
18xDVD+/-R/RW/RAM DVD Writer
Microsoft XP Home
500GB SATA2 hard drive
600 watt psu
GeForce 8800GTS 640MB PCI-E
will a 500gb hard drive and GeForce 8800GTS 640MB PCI-E go perfectly well with the above system spec?
i have also chosen to install win xp over vista!!
your veiws/comments needed please?

Perfectly nice mid range PC.
As to selling it on for a profit though, that is the tricky part. Depends on whether or not you bought all the components at retail, if you got very very good prices and what you want to recoup.
Generally speaking most self builders selling on like this can only get away with second hand prices, as they don't have the commercial back up to provide the new perks of returns and warranties.
In addition you have to factor in the postage costs, materials used and of course your time. Appreciate that it does not take long to build a machine from scratch but even so you should look to charge for 3-4 hours effort.
On this basis it is very difficult for individuals to sell this type of self-build kit on for a reasonable profit, and most make a lose, or just get enough to cover component costs. I'm not saying that there is not an eBay idiot out there who would pay silly money, but you cannot rely on finding one.

Great configuration .. suggest u use a good PSU and a Case, they are also very important for peak performance... if you intend to overclock, then you had better change from the stock heatsink/fan and install something like a Zalman ...
The Mobo is compatible with the 500gig drive and the GFX card .. no issues there...
At present WinXP is better than Vista for gaming.. and you also have more drivers for XP ... so thats a good choice...

two things how much did it cost you to make and how much are you expecting to make on top because i don't think eBay is the right place for you to sell your pc people are looking for cheep computers on eBay and you must have put a lot of work into this little project i always find the best way to sell custom built computers is local so if you find the right market for your pc and also offer to fix any problems the buyer has you will find more people want you to build one for them soon you will have a ready market wanting you to build custom pcs and fix them too

This would be an excellent computer to sell on Ebay,i just bought a computer simular to the one you are selling.
The computer did'nt have an OS installed and i choose Windows Vista and that was a mistake i should have gone with XP.

It's good, but i would reccomend Vista 64-bit, as it is Direct-X10 compatible and a smaller hard-drive with a faster RPM rate is also recomended, eg, 150GB WD ratptor at 10k RPM. Also, for hardcore gamers, a 8800GTX would be better than the GTS

It is a good configuration to be sold on EBay but if u increase the Ram to 3 to 4 GB it will be great.

Obviously if you built this yourself you know what the system is capable of so I ask you:
Why the dumb question?

You need a good case for it, at least two 120mm fans and possibly aftermarket cooling.
