Heya, I'm trying to sell my old 1 year & a half gaming PC, I've been trying on eBay to sell it for a month and a half, I want to know what a reasonable price is for it.

• Asus Nvidia GeForce 2GB GTX 670 DirectCU II Graphics Card
• Cooler Master 650W 80 Plus Power Supply Unit
• SanDisk SDSSDX-120G-G25 120GB Extreme SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5in Internal Solid State Drive
• Corsair CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengenace 16GB 1600MHz CL10 DDR3 Memory Two Module Kit
• Intel 3rd Generation Core i7-3770K CPU
• Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE Motherboard
• Coolermaster HAF 922 Mid Tower Chassis
• Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)
• 1TB HDD
• LG DVD drive

I was selling it for £854 with £46 postage or free collection. It also has best offer... I've been offered £500 two times, but I think £500 is a ripoff, despite being a 1 year & a half old PC it cost me £1300 to build. I've never over clocked it, I've cleaned it out and rewired it. I would like around £800-700 the very least, surely it's worth that much at least?

Thank you

My first impression was £500-600. You may know you've never overclocked, and that you've kept good care of it, but that being said no one else knows for sure. When buying a used PC you're always taking a risk of faulty parts, which is why the price is much lower than when new.

£854 is too much. I'd try £600-700. You have to realize that the 670 is almost two generations old now, the RAM doesn't have great timings and theres not a lot of value in the cooler and the case.

All parts new is £970 * 60% = £582 so £500-600 is about right.

Only way to get more out of it is to part it out. Should be lots of people looking for LGA1155 chips to drop into older boards. The video card is still relevant, roughly equivalent to a GTX760.

Personally, I would keep the SSD for a scratch drive to run some of my favorite titles.

Memory is a tough sell, but you could put it out there.

Not sure the case or power supply have much resale value.

I've heard good things about reddit.com/r/hardwareswap might try your luck there.

Ah... I guess the loss is my fault seeing I felt the need to build a new computer only 1 & a half years after building my first... I guess I have to deal with the consequences, if I don't sell it now then I'd get next to nothing for it if I sell it later. Thanks, I'll try listing it for £600, £45 postage with best offer. :) 

Thank you
