How much should I sell my rig for?

[Yoshi124]

I built this computer with all brand new parts 2-2.5 years ago and I'm looking to sell it because I want to build a new computer from scratch. Here's what my build consists of: link

$500

$500

The cpu, mobo, ram, and cooler are around $400 used so there's no way my gpu is only $100 lol

 

[azca]

you might get lucky and find a buyer for $500; all of these parts are obsolete

I think youd be lucky to get $500. Its a dead socket, its old architecture, and it had heat problems from the get go. $400 tops. Sorry if you dont like the answers, you asked.

Usually it's about 1/2 of what you originally paid for it. You won't ever expect to get the full price of a PC. So if you're going by a 2.5 year lifespan it would be computed this way:

$1500 / 2.5 = $600

$1500 - $600 = $900

So you'd probably get around $900 for a rig if that were the case.

400$

The FX-9590 automatically brings it to the $300 realm.

You'd be better off selling the rest individually, and creating fancy jewelry with the FX-9590.

Part it out on eBay. No hard drive means no OS. No OS kills the value as only techies will look at it and they are looking for a bundle discount on used parts. Since it won't be exactly what they are looking for.

You should get about $600 to $650 based on used auction prices. So $500 to $550 after fees and shipping.

If you had a valid activated copy of Windows. I would expect $650 to $750 cash on Craigslist or similar sites markets like Letgo. As you will have a fully functional computer. People just looking for a decent gaming computer that works are an available market. This includes older people with some disposable income looking for a good computer for work and their gaming interests (old guys and flight simulators comes to mind). Also parents/grandparents are more apt to buy a kid a fully working computer they can see working. Not something you say will work if they install Windows and a hard drive.

That's not always the best route to go. And the reason why is unless you know the exact part number of each part, it can be very difficult to do this. Manufacturers can put out 1,000 different variations of the same GPU and prices can fluctuate because of it. EVGA is one such manufacturer that is notorious for this practice. They all do this to various degrees, but there can be 50 different varieties with different clocks for one GTX 780TI or R9 390X.

Around 400 as the fx 9590 has a horrible reputation and most people will just click away when they notice it.

Unless you want to be kind of shady and try to sell someone who doesn't know any better on high core count and clock speed.. The FX line just doesn't have a lot of value. It's otherwise a pretty decent collection of parts and it's fair to guess you could get $500ish back out of it with a little patience.
