if this is a budget build why do you need a dedicated sound card?its waste of money.and isnt floppy not being use any more(USB driver anyone???)?better get the 780G or the new nvidia mobo with the 8200 chipset.

Be lucky to get $200.00 if you include a monitor Keyb mouse speakers.  $100 for tower only.

iluvgillgill,
 
I believe he is talking about selling the build he already has, not building a new one.
 
elchico08,
I am not to sure about selling prices and whatnot, but I would say not more than $300-400 if that. The hard drives are small probably about $60 for the pair, hardly any ram 1 gb $30, if I am not mistaken that processor is going for less than $50, not sure about the mb but let say $50. The rest of the stuff except the sound card and wireless G card are crap, give them like $30 for everything. The sound card and wireless g at 50 each give you 100 for the pair. Totals up to be $320.

alright cool I guess I'll throw it on craigslist for $400 and have people offer me a little less.
 
I just don't want to sit on it like I did with my old system cause this stuff becomes worthless very quickly

Take out the sound card and sell that separate on ebay.
 
Sell the rest on craigs list for $300 max.
Probably would have to take $200-$250 for a sale.

You tell me what I do.

Those parts are around $300 total if they're new, with wrapper and everything.

 

I suggest you do a garage sale and con some old sob into buying it for more. :sol:

If you get 200$ you'll be very lucky
If someone gives you 150$ take them and run away before changing his mind
