Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on how best to consolidate a few gaming PC builds I have. Currently, I own three complete setups and I want to make the best use of these parts. My main goal is to create the strongest gaming rig possible for myself, ideally suited for high resolution gaming, emulation, and general tasks like work-from-home stuff and media serving via Plex. After I've built my optimal PC, I'd like to repurpose the leftover parts into two additional systems that will maximize resale value as complete PCs, rather than selling the parts separately. I'm willing to swap around CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and whatever else it takes to achieve this. Here's a breakdown of my current builds, which I collected mostly from Facebook Marketplace. I consider the first one to be my biggest score with a Ryzen 9 5900x and an RTX 3080 Ti. Any suggestions on how to best configure these builds would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I'd stick with your first build as it is; it already has the best components. You can just sell the other two systems without much fuss. The Ryzen 9 and 3080 Ti combo is hard to beat right now. The other two setups don’t need significant adjustments to generate good resale value.
Thanks for your thoughts! Do you think sticking with the AM4 platform is the right move? I'm just getting back into building and not familiar with all the latest trends, but that seems to be the best system I currently have.
