how much is my build worth now

I'd go run through NewEgg and see how the current costs of the hardware adds up and then subtract about 33% for being used. That would be about the top price you could expect on resale.

No more than $600 and you didn't list an OS so that would also make it worth a little more.

His profile thing says he still has XP so all together i would not expect more then $500-$600 from a person who knows anythings about recent hardware. It's a nice setup but even 8 months ago several of the components were outdated. If you do go through the EGG and check out current values, half of current values is all you should be asking for.

$300 max. You guys are nuts thinking $600. For $600 you can build 3 a 3 times better computer.

In all seriousnes, you will be lucky to get $200max on Ebay. Anything over that price is better then what you have.

Anyone actually interested in a machine of this calibre would only pay around the $200 mark (lets face it, gamers want the best stuff), anyone just looking for an office computer/student computer wont pay for the extra features and will be looking @ $300.

^ a second hand 8800 GT probably wouldn't fetch $100, especially a standard edition.

why would someone pay that price for a used one, who knows what torture the owner put it through?

$130 brand new after mail in rebates, and overclocking is free and fairly safe if you take some care doing it, then you can get something brand new cheaper than a used one, lol....

what you can get for it depends on where you are and what the local market will bear,because selling it out of area will cost someone big dinero for shipping,and possible damages,if you can find a gamer who is slightly down wind from you as it were ,maybe you can make a deal,it's not that bad of a system either,i am running a similar 939 system,my 775 mobo is in rma,nonetheless an 8800gt is still no slouch,i can run any game at my monitor's native rez 1680x1050 ,with whatever bells and whistles that i want except crysis which other than the graphics is a lousy game anyhow,no real thinking involved just run and shoot,a lot like far cry,no real story,just a lot of twitching,lota of fun though ,no staying power..:> )

I read what you wrote - "a second hand 8800 GT probably wouldn't fetch $100, especially a standard edition." - and then proved you GROSSLY wrong by showing that the last three sales on eBay were ALL over $100. And I pointed out the one that was an OC and not standard - but it still was an 8800 GT for over $100.

You just look all the more foolish when you then come back and try to spin it as if you were right and I was wrong. And then after that feeble attempt to make childish personal attack only shows your own immaturity and only demeans yourself. But more importantly is that it is wrong to mislead people with bad information.
