Hello folks, I'm looking to sell my trusty old rig. It is superfast for everyday use and the only reason why I updated to a newer machine is to crank up my graphics settings for gaming. I have taken great care of it over the years with constant maintenance and updates.

Not sure how much could sell for. I'm going to try for ~$300 USD. Is that a fair price?

Specs are in the url below.

As a complete package, I think someone would take it for $300, but they wouldn't be doing themselves a huge favor.

SSD and power supply have some re-sale value. I would just keep the hard drive. The rest is not really desirable. I can go pick up a $300 machine from a retail store that would be faster then a Q6600 for general use. GTX560Ti is just a little too dated to be valuable for gaming. Someone buying new could pick up a GTX750 and get almost the same performance while supporting new titles at medium settings.

Thanks guys for all the feedback. I guess I am a little attached to this PC and have inflated the actual value of it in my mind. I though with the SSD and 560ti, it might be somewhat attractive PC for standard "everyday" use (which it really does kick butt for). But I suppose "everyday" users would gravitate to just using a tablet/phone or laptop.

That, and a new PC for such uses is very cheap these days. Sell it as parts and you may get $200 or more in total.
