Going to make a new build and I need to fully replace a lot of parts.
-Full Tower Case: got super busted over the course of a couple moves and needs to be replaced.
-1155 Asus Motherboard: PCI port is broken, so this is basically garbage.
-16g DDR3 RAM: Nothing wrong with it per so, but obsolete, needs to be replaced in a future build.
-1155 2500k Processor: Nothing wrong with it per se, but obsolete, especially as the mobo is busted.
So I'm kinda stuck as I'm 99% sure that I need to make a whole new build from scratch, but before I start digging into what that would look like I want to figure out what I'll be doing with my old computer.
Do I recycle this somehow? Go to a local store or contact a recycling facility? I live in the Bay Area and I assume there some kind of eco-friendly something that would help.
Should I donate? Sell? Recycle? I honestly have no idea and could really use advice.
Also related, my GPU will make it to the next build, and I'm assuming my PSU, 1TB HDD and 120gb SSD will make it to the next build (even though these could all probably be upgraded - except the GPU, that's new and pretty beastly).
