Price Check Old PC (Original Links)

Recommended Posts

This is my build with the original Newegg links. What do you think someone would buy this for? Had this computer for 5 years, got the 8350 during the summer but that was a mistake because I'm doing an Intel build. 

 

 

RAM (DDR3 1600MHZ):

Motherboard (GIGABYTE 990XA):

GPU (Radeon HD 6870 2GB 256-Bit):

CPU (AMD FX 8350):

Cooler (Hyper 212 EVO):

I've actually been looking at the ram to upgrade my dad's PC. You would probably get more money parting it out. I know the ram alone you could get like 40 bucks per 8gb.

 

Ram $80-100

Motherboard $70?

GPU $30

CPU  $90

Cooler $15

 

$280-320 probably

 

If it's a complete build with power supply/case maybe $350

RAM would be hard to sell in 4GB sticks tbh. Also DDR3-1600 is pretty cheap nowadays.

 

I would say $300-350, depending on your case, hard drive, and PSU (which you didn't include).

 

I wouldn't go lower than 300 though (if you had posted this 3 months ago I would have bought this off of you for 300. But now there's a new horyzen)

 

 

 

Also if you haven't bought your CPU yet, I'd suggest waiting for the new RYZEN line from AMD and see it's community benchmarks.

If you have the patience you can get 300$ out of it.

 

Also in my books power supply is also very important, well I teem to be building PC's based on reliability, not performance.

Doesn't also matter too much how old is the CPU, as it's outdated anyways. It might not be obsolete yet, but soon™ it is, as the latest AMD generation is like 5 years old. 

990X is also over 5 years old chipset, and the fact that AMD likes to use 2 chipsets on one board is just retarded.

Ok sorry I got lost a little.

 

If you want it quickly out of your hands, put a pricetag of under 200$ to it.

Don't go under 200. 250 if you want to get rid of it quickly.

 

 

also def agree with the PSU comment. often overlooked, yet critical component

You're looking at 250-300 resale value, hardware prices drop fast (And especially amd sad.png)

 

Instead of selling it, maybe consider converting it into a home media server? I've done exactly that with my old PC, it now houses my whole library of music movies and TV shows that I can watch anywhere I want to using Plex

 

I even share access to it with 8 people, it's like your own private Netflix/Spotify
