Hello fellow PC Enthusiasts.

I'm going to be moving within the next few months and plan on selling my gaming rig as I don't want to bring it with me, and I'd like some advice on how much I should sell it for.

Specs:
Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition (3.4ghz stock, good OCer)
Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1gb (775/1000 stock, good OCer)
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 2x4gb 1333mhz
Western Digital Blue 1tb HDD
Coolermaster Hyper 212+ (dual-fan setup)
MSI 970a-g45 MOBO
Corsair GS600 PSU (600w, 80 plus certified)
LITE-ON 12x Blu-ray drive
case is a Corsair 230t (grey) with all stock fans

Some minor quirks are that the 6850 will sometimes make a rattling noise under heavy load. It's also slightly faulty because once in a blue moon it will cause the screen to "jump" and flicker for about 2-3 seconds (it shouldn't affect functionality, just a minor annoyance). Also, I might not sell my rig with the HDD because I don't want anyone getting my personal information off it (I know I can just format it, but my paranoia won't let me believe it'll work).

I'm thinking ~$400 at least, but I'd like your opinions.

yeah 4 sounds good. ask for 5 or 6 and put OBO. The HDD thing might hamper things a little. It won't have OS. If I was to buy for parts it would be the PSU, Blu ray drive, Cooler, RAM, Maybe CPU. Oh and Case not bad just looked it up

Thanks for the reply. I think I might try and push for $500-$550, as the laptop I'm going to "replace" this with is $529.

Hello, i am looking to sell my recently built but used gaming pc. It cost about $600 to build without extras (mice, keyboards or monitors).
My build consists of:

Amd Athlon X4 750K processor
Msi Motherboard
FM2-A75MA-E35
1 x 4gb stick of Corsair Vengeance ram
NZXT Guardian Mid Tower Case
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 1GB graphics card
Corsair Power Supply CX 430 Watt
1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue hard drive.

I built this pc about 2 months ago, it runs games with good fps. If i am going to sell it on Ebay, roughly how much do you think i could get for this.

Thank you in advance.
