That copy of Win7 is probably worth more than the rest of the parts assuming it's legit

$300, although I'd never buy used. Not worth $1 more.

One month old or not, they are still used and old parts. (the parts themselves came out year+ ago.) I do figure around $400 for the parts. CPU+board+cooler should be around $125, $50 for the ram, $40 for the GPU, $75 for the PSU, and another $50 for the hdd. This is $330 and assuming it comes with a case you can figure around $350 total.

You can safely add in a couple hundred more dollars for the ultimate edition of windows. Assuming of course its legit. I'm assuming that its a crack copy due to this being another thread of something with old/low end parts but running MS's most advanced version of windows. If I had a penny for every time I saw this...

Go to Ebay and find the average price for everything and add it up.

Personally, I wouldn't spend more than 300 on that, I can get a lot better for 400 on Craigslist from people.

I'd say 300, if it the copy of Windows 7 is legit add 50 more.

Don't hope too hard. $70 processor and a $70 GPU on a $70 motherboard. Add $40 for RAM and $50 for a HDD and you have built that new for $400 when you add in the other parts. I would think more like $250-$300 if you are very lucky. That computer could well be several years old with those parts and still be a lower end build. The most expensive part you have is your copy of Windows. I would say it would sell fast at $200. Might sell higher but might take weeks to months to find someone to sell it to at a higher price as well.

Good luck.

I'll give you 50$ for it. Lol.to be honest you might make more money by selling each part individually

That may be true too, but with ebay fvf and paypals cut, expect around a 10% loss.

Guys, its a legit copy of windows ultimate but i bought it cheap from my friends dad who works at tiger direct . and all the parts are brand new bought from the store. It also comes with all the original packing for all the parts and the manual and CD for the motherboard. Hope that bumps up the price a bit

Bro' I'm sorry but to build a system and sell it for more that the retail total price of all parts and try to make a positive angle profit off of it, just doesn't happen. So you got to the copy of windows ultimate' does that increase the value of the computer? Yes but not full retail

 

[4745454b]

Sorry. But parts are still years old. I know you just got them, but they are old.

That copy of windows is worth nearly all of those parts.

 

[2rock7]

thanks guys. so $300-350?

 

[edogawa]

Start off at 350, if you have no luck go down to 300. If you want to go for 400 you can try that, but highly unlikely to get that much. Good Luck!

Nice Job, I'm honestly surprised!

Reminds me of when I sold a Logitech Z5500 speaker system a couple months ago. I got like 300 dollars for that thing, it was like 8 years old and I originally bought it for 250! That speaker system was terrible too.

You going to build a new computer now?

 

[2rock7]

yea! searching the internet for the best parts. this is what im thinking of:
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AMD 9 Series
Crucial Ballistix 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3-1600MHz
OCZ ModXStream Pro Power Supply - 700-Watt 80Plus
AMD FX-4100 Processor - Quad Core 3.60GHz (3.80GHz Max Turbo)
MSI R6850 Cyclone PE/OC Radeon HD 6850 Video Card - 1GB, GDDR5

Im deciding on the case and dvd writer later. so what do u think? comes to around 550. (under a budget)

You gonna be gaming? if yes then if you want AMD, get this Processor instead of the FX 6100:

If you don't need to max out all the games then this is what i'd get:

Spend some more on the GPU and get an ASUS 560ti, great card; you can go up more if you want to a 660ti, but I think a 560ti will be good for now.

I don't use AMD processors so I won't give any advice for that.


This is a good set of memory, and has good timings:

Here is a good PSU too, you shouldn't need 750-watts unless your doing multiple GPUs, just go with the 650-watt, its only a couple more dollars than the 550-watt:
