I would assume they are selling just parts.

Also, the reason everyone is suggesting completely different types of parts is because we don't know the market being targeted. Are you going after high-end or low-end parts? Business users, gamers, or casual users?

Whoever says AMD is better than Intel can go die (after the person who said 400 more MHz was better). I'm not an Intel fanboy in any form, but I can tell you that AMD is providing little to no innovative competition. Think of AMD being the budget knock-off of Intel; The product's price is lower, but the quality is even more so. That said, AMD isn't a bad option if you are selling to a low-end market.

Both ATI and NVIDIA are very close to each other when it comes to price and quality, so just listen to which brand your customers prefer and just focus more on the quality of the card rather than the brand.

Finally, peripherals are a great way to keep your customers coming back. Inexpensive odds and ends such as mice, keyboards, webcams, and especially cables can be easily marked up after being found cheap. These are also good ways to allow your customers to "try out" the purchasing experience with your company prior to purchasing more expensive equipment.


PS: Avoid selling monitors like the plague. There are so many things that can wrong with a monitor from dead pixels to simple customer error that will make the customer want to return or replace it. Regardless of the outcome, the customer will not be pleased with the experience.

Same could go for discs but people still need them.
And i think selling monitors is a good idea

A mix of both, the-built will be manufacturer built nothing customized, complete OEM. pc parts of course will be stocked with various major brands, mid range and up. nothing crappy... we will also be selling consoles & games once we figure a way to pass it through customs without paying a outrageous fee that they have in Brazil, otherwise things have been set for the site's themselves along with something hopefully innovative enough to get customers (build your own custom psp/DS. basically choose shell & what you want on it, in turn you get a estimate cost on the item if you want to buy it with your selected features) but that will be available to U.S not brazil.

For monitors & Disc's i guess it can be avoided if you avoid the bad quality companies, stick with samsung, etc.. and disc's can be avoided if you just ship it right.

Well, if you want things that are going to sell, stick with Intel for CPU and AMD (ATI) for GPU. It seems that AMD just doesn't give a fuck about the CPU market at all, and on the graphics side of things, nVidia appears to be straying away from more mainstream uses of their GPUs, structuring it more towards the high-end business/research markets - and leaving everyone else, including gamers - their biggest customer base - out in the cold. That's really the only advice I've got for you. Good luck! The hardware market can be really rough.
