How Much Is My Gaming Computer Worth?

Articleon · Apr 13, 2017

Hello I am thinking of selling my pc and I don't know how much its worth. It's custom built and just over a year old. It will come with a mouse keyboard and monitor. These are the specs:

Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (White)
Graphics: Asus Radeon R9 390 8GB
CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0GHZ
CPU Cooling: Cooler Master Seidon 240m
DVD/Blu-ray: LG Internal Black DVD Writer
Hard-drives/SSD: Crucial MX200 250GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Power Supply: Corsair Modular CS750M Gold
Memory: G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2x8GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA 990FXA UD3
Network: TP-LINK TL WN851ND 300MBps
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

Peripherals: Razer Deathstalker Keyboard
Razer Deathadder Mouse
Razer Orbweaver Gamepad

Monitor: Playstation 24" 1920x1080

I'm from New Zealand and I use the currency NZD.

Are there any cosmetic defects like scratches or any normal wear and tear, maybe some ports a little looser then they maybe should be?

Is your motherboard the Gigabyte GA 990FXA UD3, R5 or Ultra
The R5 is like $100 and the Ultra is like $150

But the overall price I came up with for your computer would probably be around $1,000 to $1,200 but I'd probably start off on the higher end and if you really need the money sooner and no one is buying it then start lowering the price, if you really need to

I myself would probably put it out there to start at about $1,300 and see if anyone takes it after a while, then I'd lower it to a more fair price, like $1,200, then if there's no takers on that just keep lowering it after a long time until it gets to the lower end of what you'd like, so I probably wouldn't go below $950, and that is after like a year online.
So in the end just sell it for whatever you're comfortable with, and adjust the price based on demand, like your need for money or the actual price of one of the units, or if anything gets damaged before you sell it, like even just scrapes and stuff.

Good luck with that, and if you need any help building a new computer if you're upgrading you can always message me.

It's the UD3 Ultra and it has no wear and tear what so ever, I've kept it tidy and dust free. Are u meaning $1200 USD?

Simthaniel · Apr 13, 2017

Ok, and yes I mean $1,200 USD

Gam3r01 · Apr 13, 2017

Nobody in their right mind would spend 1200 USD on that system.
You can build a far superior system at that price, or even a fraction of that price.

You would be looking at 5-600USD at best, and that depends on the buyers.

Again, nobody in their right mind would spend that amount of money on such old, used hardware. Current market prices mean nothing.

Far superior, new build, 300 dollars less.

Gam3r01 :

Yeah you're probably right but I'm not an expert, I was just looking at the online prices and subtracting some, but it could possibly go for $1200, if you got lucky, but who knows who might come along

Gam3r01 · Apr 13, 2017

Subtracting "some" is not enough. You need to go by half at least, that dosent even consider the fact nobody wants that old of hardware.

Simthaniel · Apr 13, 2017

I'd just listen to Gam3r01

Gam3r01 :

Yes, true, true, I'm still learning, this will help me in the future if I help anyone out and for myself, thank you

Gam3r01 :

I get that my pc is a year old but I bought the graphics card that is in it was brand new when I bought it. I spent around $2100 NZD on this pc and that excludes any peripherals and the monitor. There is new, better PC parts around but my pc can still run games like Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and Battlefield 1 in 4k with at least 30fps constant.

Simthaniel :

Those are the exact specs.

mrobscura · Apr 14, 2017

as mentioned, 5-6 hundred. and youre probably better off parting it out, since people are more likely to want just a 390, or just a cpu.

XBloodyR · Apr 14, 2017

Yeah the real problem here is to find someone who would buy it. There are few people who buy used hardware in the first place then there are even fewer people who buy used hardware thats not the latest. I think you would be better of just selling the mouse keyboard and monitor at a good price the rest will be hard to get rid of.

I'm going to stop complaining but in New Zealand PC prices are high look at this:
