In short, I purchased a PC to acquire the Z97 motherboard for my own build. Rather than selling parts at a loss, I planned to buy it on AliExpress. I intend to assemble it and likely sell it for 3 to 4 times the cost. How reliable is this motherboard? I'm just being cautious since I usually buy from Aliexpress.

The motherboard has a few minor issues, but it should work as long as you avoid heavy modifications. It lacks some capabilities, which is understandable given the price point.

The CPU isn't overclockable, just need it stable enough to function. I don’t have specific recommendations beyond confirming it’s sufficient for your needs.

If it's an actual item you can locate a help section for, and everything matches the images and details, it's usually okay without any issues. Yes, they offer genuine great deals on older Intel motherboards and CPUs. I find this 53$ 8-core Xeon model worth it—it handles games well on a 5700X just like a 9900K.

Sure, I'm hoping it will function properly. Just make sure it doesn't fail within a few weeks.

It’s more likely it won’t function at all, or it could last for years, honestly.

Absolutely, Ali's buyer protection would be useful if the situation doesn't resolve.
