What do you think ? I also need to know its worth

[dharris17]

Ok so I got this computer not even a couple months ago and would like to see what it is worth?

Specs
Case & PSU: Cooler Master Elite 360 w/350W
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Professional
CPU: AMD A6 3650 2.6 ghz APU w/HD Radeon 5530 - Disabled
Motherboard: ASUS F1A75-M LE
GPU: HD Radeon 6670 Memory - 1024 MB Memory Type - DDR3 Core Clock in MHz - 800 MHz Memory Clock in MHz - 800 MHz Memory Bandwidth in GByte/s - 25.6 GByte/s
RAM: Kingston Hyperlink Crucial 2x 4gb DDR3
HDD: Western Digital 160 Gb 7200 RPM - SATA-II 3.0Gb/s -
Disk Drive: Super-Multi LG Blu-Ray RW Drive
KINGWIN Multi-Reader - USB 2.0 - MS/MS Duo - CF/MD - SD/MMC - SM/XD

This thing is honestly Great, it is not super amazing but is really pretty quick and good for gaming. I have played WOW, SWTOR, Skyrim, MW3, Lol, and Other games on it on High to Ultra Settings Fine. Can play Metro 2033 on Recommended Specifications. I also have photoshop CS6 on it and Most all the games listed.

So What is it worth? I filled this out: http://www.gadgetvalue.com/price.aspx After I did it valued it between $700-$800 Used. Mine is only couple months old and has more stuff then I was able to put on the form.

So put your value on it or make me an offer. I want to build another.

It is pretty good, but needs some overclocking. You should give it a chance.

I am also using a a6-3650 clocked to 3.5ghz. With a pair of hd-4870's.
It might not overclock as much on a asus board, i am using a gigabyte board.

Anyways set the memory manually to 1066mhz because it follows the blck clock (fsb). Set the memory manually to ddr3 1600 settings, set the voltage manually for ddr3 1600, set the cpu voltage to 1.45volts.. Google or search tom's for others who overclocked via the blck clock with this asus board. Your apu is multiplier locked at 26x, it is not the "k" version but still should overclock well.

It plays games well at 1080p.. Of course the hd-4870's are helping out.

Ditch that crummy hd-6670.
The hd-6670 should sell well as a used card, it does dual graphics with your A6-3650 and the A8-3870K. It is also a small card that fits in most package system computers.

Ditch that cooler master power supply also.

I dunno used means someone is looking for a deal. I would say maybe $350 used at most..

The used hd-6670 and power supply should fetch about $50 used. (sell them both together, people with a 250 watt oem power supply will like that one)

Take the $50 and buy a new power supply something like this...

Thanks for all the tips, so basically I should upgrade accordingly don't sell it yet?

 

[need4speeds]

It's up to you.

If you are selling it and going to use the cash towards building a new system, it is best to keep most of it and upgrade it. (you tend to lose money selling stuff used)

If you have another system that is better, or you don't want this computer, it is best to sell it rather than it sit as computers drop in value every day since they are new.

 

[dharris17]

So give me some build ideas and ideas of what to replace? What kind money do you think I should put into one that will last years?

 

[need4speeds]

Since the cpu cooler+fan is fairly cheap to buy. Overclock it first, test it with prime 95 for something like 20 mins.

You should be able to crossfire that hd-6670 with your A6-3650, and both the hd-6670 and integrated A6-3650 gpu both overclock too. Test them with furmark.

It is worth more money used if it is set up correctly and overclocked well since it is a budget gaming system that is kinda slow at stock speeds.

Maybe $450-$500 with a new cpu cooler+overclocking and dual graphics working.

It should be able to match a hd-6750 or hd-7750 card with dual graphics or crossfire working+overclocking.

 

[FinneousPJ]

I'd give you $300 max. It's a budget system through and through.

 

[dharris17]

Yeah, I have heard of this thing over clocking to 4.1 Ghz I just need to be able to adjust it correctly, anyone wanna help? I don't get over clocking really
