Hello guys, hope everyone had a great summer.
I want to sell/upgrade my PC so I need some advice.
The first thing I want to know is how much I would get if I sold my PC entirely
Specs:
i5 3570k (stock cooler)
GTX 970 ssc
Asrock Z77 Xtreme4 Mobo
Evga 600w PSU
NZXT source 210(metal side plate)
8gb Corsair Vengeance Ram

Please let me know how much you guys think I can sell these for.

I've had this PC for almost 3 years. All parts were brand new when I bough them

The reason I'm selling it is because I want to get an all new PC with all brand new and updated stuff.

The PC runs perfectly. Never had an issue with it.

Not trying to sell the PC here on the forum, just trying to get a price for what you guys think it may cost.


And the second thing is if Should I Just Upgrade it?

Thank you.

A new Skylake system with a i5-6600K won't make much difference. I would:

1. Consider overclocking your rig. Is your power supply the 600B Bronze? I recommend upgrading to the G2 550 or G2 650 since they are more efficient, more reliable and can handle moderate overclocking better.

2. Next, upgrade the cooler so you can get a good overclock. Cooler Master Hyper 212X Dual Fan, or CRYORIG H5 Ultimate are good options.

3. If you don't have a SSD, consider adding one. Your case will require a 3.5" to 2.5'' adapter. I recommend the Crucial MX300 series.

4. Consider upgrading to a GTX 1070 if your GTX 970 isn't cutting it.
