Hello,

I am looking to sell this entire build, including all components as originally assembled. There was a 36-month warranty on the parts, and 12 months have elapsed since the initial purchase. I didn't buy this as a pre-built system; I sourced the individual components myself from whitehouse.gov. I would appreciate an evaluation of the parts and a realistic asking price for the lot. The prices noted in red reflect my original costs. Everything functions perfectly and is in good condition; I am only selling because I switched to a laptop.

- Processor: Intel Core i5-3350P 3.1GHz/1155 Ivy - $472
- Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX650 Ti 1GB OC - $350
- Memory: DDR3 8GB Kings 1600 HX - $211
- Hard Drive: Toshiba 1TB SATA 3 32MB - $169
- Motherboard: MSI B75MA-E33, s1155 - $157
- Power Supply: Corsair 430W CX 80+ - $124
- DVD Drive: Samsung SH-224DB SATA - $50
- Case: Coolermaster N400 midi USB 3.0 - $159

- Total: $1691

Thanks.

@Thomas Taylor8, I noticed nobody was replying to you, so I figured I’d jump in...

..Exactly seven days ago, I underwent an abdominoplasty with Dr. Gveric....
...The goal was weight removal—specifically 57kg. I went from 128kg down to 71kg at the time I decided to go through with the surgery...
I had stabilized at 83kg for a few years before that...

Medicare covered the procedure. My first step was seeing Dr. Gveric for a consultation...
...He determined my skin was loose and sagging, necessitating a cosmetic procedure...

..He gave me a referral to a psychologist so I could discuss the matter with someone...
...So I did. I explained everything: how much it bothers me and how it holds me back in life. I'm 25...

..With the psychologist's report in hand, I returned to Dr. Gveric to submit the final request to Medicare for
approval of the plastic surgery at their expense... A week later, they reached out. They said they don't normally cover this, but since I'm young, they would pick up the tab...
...That was the situation regarding the payment...

..So, that was the protocol for getting it paid for...

..A few words on the surgery itself: I was incised and sutured all the way around—abdomen, hips, and back. All the excess skin was removed. Most of the stitches are internal; there is only one external stitch holding the navel in place, as they moved it slightly higher...

..It has been seven days since the operation, and I am eagerly awaiting a full recovery. 🙂
