I have this system I was thinking of selling:
Core 2 Duo E6400 @ 2.13 GHz
2 GB RAM PC-5300
ATi HD 4850 512 MB
400W PSU
ASUS P5B mobo
250 GB HDD Western Digital
DVD-ROM
DVD-RW
Floppy with 7 in 1 card reader
First I was thinking of overclocking or upgrading, but then I rejected the first option since I know nothing of these things (I made some posts on the other forum categories) and was thinking about the second. But I realized that I wanted a faster memory, a PCI-Express 2.0 mobo and definitely a new processor and a new PSU to hold all that in place. Only thing worth keeping is my graphics card which I bought for 85 euros (that's around 110 dollars or 50 pounds - my previous card got "burned" due to Greek heat waves and it was still in warranty so I got the 4850 for half its original price), which means I can actually make money off of it.
So, how much do you think I can sell it? I could just leave its Windows XP in there (after formatting and reinstalling of course), but I can leave that up to the buyer. So, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
PS: I am only talking about the case; no monitors, speakers, or any peripherals whatsoever in the deal.
PS2: If you have any other suggestions about what I can do to future proof my system (2 years ahead), without spending more than 600 euros, please share.
