Key Points
  • Know the real budgets. Story job budgets can be ignored. Non-Story jobs allow 10% over-budget with no star penalty.
  • On Upgrade and Repair jobs, replace as many parts as you can!
  • Install only New parts into Customer PCs.
  • Install only Used parts into PC Bay PCs, overclocked and benchmarked to earn more.
  • Important: Be sure to COMPLETE the benchmark, before putting the PC Bay sticker on!
  • Save on Shipping! Batch multiple days of customer orders into a single Next Day shipment.
  • Save on the Utility Bill! Turn off the lights every day, before you leave the office.
  • It's okay to be ruthless. This is a game, and a 5-star customer is happy!
Resale Values of Parts
  • New Part:
    • New part prices are worth 3 times the Used part resale values.
    • Value: 3x
  • Used Part being Sold:
    • Used part resale values are worth 1/3 the New part prices.
    • Value: 1x
  • Used Part in Customer PC:
    • You charge the customer an extra 25% when you put a Used part into a Customer PC.
    • Value: 1.25x
  • Used Part on PC Bay:
    • The value is the Used Part value, with 20% fluctuation per the Market.
    • Value: 0.8x to 1.2x
  • Used Part in a non-benchmarked PC Bay PC:
    • The value is the Used Part value, with 20% fluctuation per the Market.
    • Value: 0.8x to 1.2x
  • Used Part in a benchmarked PC Bay PC:
    • Benchmarked PC Bay PCs will earn you the most money!
    • Run 3DMark to benchmark a PC Bay PC.
    • This drastically increases the Resale Value of the entire PC!
    • The value depends on 3DMark Score: 1000 score = 1.0x value, 10000+ score = 3.0x value (New Part value!)
    • Value: 1.0x to 3.0x
Getting Used Parts - The Basics
Know the Budget Limits
  • Story job budgets can be ignored (unless required in red), so replace all the parts that you can!
  • Non-Story jobs have a 10% tolerance, so multiply by 1.1 to use the real budget limit.
  • If you stay below the real budget limit, you will not be penalized with a 1-star rating.

Upgrade & Repair Jobs - Replace these parts
  • Upgrade for a 3DMark score:
    • Can replace: Motherboard, CPU, CPU Cooler, GPU(s), RAM, Power Supply
  • Fix/Upgrade CPU:
    • Must replace: CPU
    • Can also replace: CPU Cooler, Motherboard, Power Supply
  • Fix/Upgrade GPU(s):
    • Must replace: GPU(s)
    • Can also replace: Power Supply
  • Fix/Upgrade Liquid CPU cooler:
    • Must replace: Liquid CPU Cooler
    • Can also replace: Case Fans
  • Fix/Upgrade other part:
    • Must replace: Only that part

PC Bay - Buy Used Parts and Used PCs
  • I highly recommend buying every Used part and Used PC, available on PC Bay.
  • Definitely buy every Used Part, even if you don't need it for a build yet. You will.
  • Especially buy the Broken PCs, because they earn great profits.
  • Sometimes a "Broken PC" will even have nothing wrong with it!
Getting Used Parts - Advanced
Use the "HTML Calculator" guide to find the cheapest solutions, to replace more parts
  • Example scenario: Need a CPU/GPU that is better
  • Use the HTML Calculator, to find the cheapest solution
  • Use the rest of the budget to replace the other optional parts, to get more free Used parts!
Tips for PC Bay PCs
PC Bay Basics
  • Bootup Bonus - When you boot the system, Resale Value increases by $100.
  • Benchmark Bonus - When you benchmark the system using 3DMark, Resale Value increases to be 1.0x-3.0x the Used Part value.
  • Important: Be sure to COMPLETE the benchmark, before putting the PC Bay sticker on!

Part Combinations
  • Pair expensive parts with high-performing parts.
  • The high performance boosts the value of the entire PC, including expensive parts.
  • If you plan on overclocking for more value, then try not to pair a non-overclocking motherboard with an overclocking CPU, and try not to pair an overclocking motherboard with a non-overclocking CPU.

Completing Builds with New Parts
  • Should you buy any New Parts to complete a build?
  • In general, try not to do this. Just wait until you can get the final Used Part for your build.
  • But if you have all parts except a few, and don't want to wait anymore, just buy the cheapest New Part that you need. You can still expect to make a profit.
  • Pro Tip: If you need a Case for a PC Bay build, buy the "CORSAIR Carbide Series SPEC-DELTA RGB", because you can put the New Case Fans into Customer PCs, and miraculously earn a profit for using that case in a PC Bay PC!

@Izsomniac : Yes, it's still relevant to PCBS1. And, the bullet points within "Getting Used Parts - The Basics" describe your budget limits.
Izsomniac 1月21日 1時23分 
Hello, is this guide still relevant to the latest update of PCBS1? Also, regarding story job, i can ignore the budget and replace every parts right?

Lots of good tips here but if you're really trying to maximize your money while minimizing real-world time:

- Ignore the tip in the guide about turning off the lights. It's a waste of time, as you aren't required to pay the electric bill or rent
- As above, ignore rent, electric bill, and buying stock from uncle Tim (if you want the achievements, buy all the stock and then reload to get your money back, or just wait until you have $1M)
- Don't spend a ton of time OCing. You hit diminishing returns pretty quick if you really try to hit up against the thermal limits. Just crank everything up to reasonable level (80C for the CPU and close-ish to 95 for the GPU) and call it a day
- Run with Shift!
- I don't buy EVERYTHING on PCBay, but I do buy most stuff. I pretty much ignore any GPU below 1080, Celeron processors, PPUs below 750, and any cases. You aren't going to consistently have enough spare parts to be building PCs from scratch with used parts, so ignore the cases.

I believe one way to quickly identify story jobs is to check to see if they have a star rating requirement. It doesn't really apply until Bongle becomes relevant, but if every job but one has a star requirement, you've probably got a story job there.

A story job is one that has custom text, that is never "auto-generated and available to other jobs". Things like Santa, or a time traveler, or a person with a crush, etc. It's all about recognizing if the text is job-unique, aka a story job.

My issue is knowing what a story job is, I completed all jobs and the only thing I have is give uncle 10k for 10% more shares.

I don't know. You might use the HTML calculator to do some testing.

Great guide. Base on your experience, what's the cheapest gpu & cpu combo to achieve 10k score with OC?
The_Jinxer 2022年9月13日 14時48分 
"save (powerful) GPUs for extra builds once you hit 10k" is exactly what I was looking for. That and the 2x weak GPU advice belong in the guide. Thanks!
PUC_Snakeman  [作成者] 2022年9月13日 5時02分 
If you get the 10k score, then anything else you put in will get its maximum 3x value. My advise would be to save extra GPUs for future builds, and save "required parts" like HDDs and RAM, but put in whatever else you may have like case fans.

On the same hand, if you have 2 weak GPUs that can be multi-GPU, it may be worth going multi-GPU in order to get that 10k score to get the 3x value, since it would be too tough to get the 10k score using just one of the GPUs.

Hope that helps.
