First, didn't have any idea where to put this so I'll put it here for the time being. My current PC is a workstation/gaming (it was called gaming at the time) ASUS m11bb desktop (now discontinued.) It runs Windows 8.1, the processor is an APU, the A8-5500 with 7560D graphics. It has 8GB of DDR3 1333mhz RAM, an ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M11BB (FM2) motherboard. It has an ATAPI BD E DH12ESH SATA CdRom Device (aka an optical drive.) It can run minecraft, left for dead 2, garry's mod, cs:go, etc. (<-some of the games I use ) fine with good framerates, and would be even better with a dedicated gpu. How much do you guys think it it worth? Let's say, not to a PC GENIUS, but not a grandma aswell. :D FORGOT TO SAY, it has a 149gb harddrive (also a 2tb one but I want that for my new build)

Hard to say, it may run older games or lower spec steam games ok but it's not much of a gaming pc by today's standards. Maybe $150-200. 150gb drive is pretty small, the ram is fairly slow which will impact apu performance. Much more than that and someone could consider putting together a barebones system with new parts that have a warranty and higher performance. In the end whatever someone's willing to pay for it.

If someone will buy it for $300, great, if no one buys it for $100 then you may have to drop the price lower. Pretty much the way it goes with selling anything, it depends on how fast you need the money from it or if you can hang onto it indefinitely and try to hold out for a better price. But keep in mind the older it gets...
