Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
8 GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
500GB Hard Drive

PCI Network Card
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Motherboard
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W Modular PSU
Casecom 6788 Black Mid Tower ATX Case

Here's how you accurately figure out how to calculate system depreciation.

Take what you paid for it, subtract the salvage value (if there is any), divide by the life of the system and multiply by the year of sale.

So if it's an $800 build, you've had it for two years and there's a salvage value of $150 it would look something like this:

(($800 - $150) / 2)) = $325

Year One: $800 - $325 = $475

Now in year two, multiply $325 by the month of sale. If you're selling in July, it would look like this.

Year two: (($325 * (6/12)) = $162.50

$475 - $162.50 = $312.50

You can expect the minimum your system will sell is about $312.50.
