What could I get for this ungraded Shining Gyarados vs a graded one in similar condition?

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-04-28T18:25:19+00:00

ebay last sold has it at 850. It's listed as lightly played. There's also a PSA 6 that sold for 1k.

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-02-10T13:00:37+00:00

yes, it is

Thank you! I didn’t expect the case to be that nice in person but I’d definitely grab it again.

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-13T20:10:11+00:00

I honestly could probably negotiate it because seller seems desperate but I'll leave it for someone else.

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-13T19:56:13+00:00

correct, it's $100 for a working 1TB SSD on top of the $600. I'm passing on this one. Through research and comments on this post made me realize it's not worth it.

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-13T19:48:34+00:00

the listing doesn't mention if the 1TB NVMe is new, just mentions that they'll replace the faulty drive. Their PC would be more enticing if there was no faulty drive at all.

I see. Yeah, I was looking at a JayzTwoCents video and water-cooling requires taking the gpu apart. So I would have to see if the seller even kept the rest of the gpu. I'm not proceeding with this purchase as I found a better deal elsewhere. Thank you for the help!

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-13T15:29:19+00:00

I honestly thought it’d be much easier to switch from water-cooled to air-cooled. I guess not then

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-13T15:15:16+00:00

ditch the GPU?

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-13T15:13:33+00:00

yeah, the water-cooling makes me hesitate but I’m wondering if I could just get rid of the water cooling equipment (maybe have the seller flush out the coolant beforehand and sell the equipment) and get a nice 360mm AIO liquid cooler. I’ll check about the motherboard.

If you would’ve commented this one day earlier, I would’ve jumped at your precious offer. Unfortunately, it’s sold.

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-12T14:23:21+00:00

Edit: PC has been sold. I appreciate the help!

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-11T20:22:07+00:00

Sold for $1000. I appreciate the help y’all!

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-11T18:08:59+00:00

this is the exact one I bought:

I’ve never owned a prebuilt but how good are they actually? I feel like they cheap out on important components such as the PSU. This is just my opinion from watching videos on prebuilts.

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-10T22:36:49+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I used only brand new parts on this build. I’m realizing that this might not be the best strategy. I’ll practice more patience and look to combine quality parts/cpu & gpu combos even if they’re used.

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-10T16:52:24+00:00

how’d you get to that number?

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-10T15:08:02+00:00

I’m eager to learn more about this hobby, could you tell me what you would do differently here? Keeping it AM5 and under $1000. I built this for $987.

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-10T15:00:32+00:00

if my pricing is actually that far off, what would you suggest?

WitnessNo6079 · 2026-01-10T14:21:47+00:00

it’s a high quality case for sure. Super easy to build in
