I have a full gauss prime set and don’t know if I should sell it.
More broadly, I hesitate to find the balance between building prime weapons and warframe or selling for plat because I don’t have any slot available. I started to put some sell offers on warframe.market and now wait. Should I sacrifice a bit Mastery ranks and trying warframes for plat ? To conclude; good game to everyone, and I hope you can farm what you all want :)
Gauss has been my top favorite since they came out, their combat kit is just very useful, fun, and versatile for most mission types for me. But ultimately it comes down to your preference. For me, he’s very fluid and has fairly great defense, though the Prime version sacrifices survivability just a little bit.

How so? Prime and normal versions are basically the same right? Apart from the minor buffs the primes get.
Sometimes with Primes instead of just buffing they tweak the balance a bit, and when I put the exact same mods and everything on my Prime, the health was lower and shields were higher compared to the original. So I have to be a bit more careful with them around enemies that target health directly.

Honestly, never. I’m definitely biased saying this as an MR30, but trying out all of the Warframes and having builds for them is one of the best parts of the game. Really, slots are the best thing you can spend your plat on. Especially once you get into higher level content that starts to randomize what frames you are allowed to bring, you’ll want to have a solid roster of heavy hitters to ensure you have something usable. Gauss is def a heavy hitter.
If you’re on the fence, you could farm some regular Gauss at Ur on Uranus, he’s mostly easy to farm and craft aside from the open world gems.
If you need plat, Burston Prime is always on rotation and trivial to farm, and is currently attached to some valuable primes like Wisp and Trumna: https://wiki.warframe.com/w/Burston_Prime
If you have Kahl unlocked, selling archon mods is about the quickest sale. you can get 25-30 for each r0 and 120 for r10. 115 stock per week is just 5 stock shy of 4 mods a week. Augment mods can get 12-15 each too
I always have slots for warframes. Even if I need to farm plat to do it. It’s just useful to be able to have options.
I almost exclusively use it as my “gotta go fast” frame, and I do find him more fun (and a lot more cool looking) than volt

Guass is my preferred speed frame. He has worse turning that Volt but runs faster. I find it’s more usable to have his forward sprint that Volt’s caffeine-OD movement. He also has even more benefits to constant motion than most frames which encourages the whole fast on your feet playstyle.
I have a Gauss frame for the Index that effectively can’t be hit by most attacks and parkors slower than it runs.
Gauss is both really fun and really good. His 2 lets you be practically unkillable when combined with quick thinking, and he’s zoomy and goes brrrrr. The thermal transfer augment even lets you give your weapons a big damage boost. That said, you could get regular gauss and use him instead of the prime, the only difference is some mild base stat increases.
Might be worth building him to farming relics and then selling the prime junk/sets you get from those relic runs if you don’t already have have a loadout that you like using for those. He is one of the better warframes for this and Thermal Sunder is nice to have on the off chance a capture mission turns into an exterminate.
As for fun, that depends on how you like to play. Thermal Sunder on Gauss works fine for nuking content outside of ESO if you have the requires mods/arcanes, and don’t mind spamming 3. He’s only really fast in the tilesets that are more open/less complex, otherwise you’re going to be slamming into walls a lot.
