Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
crimsonstag84 said:A brand new one with a 2-year warranty would be $413, which is basically the cheapest option out there.

I was actually talking about a brand new one from a local shop: http://www.nabava.net/graficke-karti...ddr5__17307451

Yeah, this one is an ITX model, but I figured the price would be right around there.

I think I'm just gonna hang onto this 270x for now. Honestly, feels like I'd be taking a massive 40-50% hit on its value if I let it go.

The GPU's had about 2 years on it.

Hey, could I get a quick breakdown on what this setup is worth?

Intel Core i3 3220 Gigabyte GA-B75D3H MSI R9 270 x 2 GB gaming Thx

Timothy Kim60 said:At least! $100 Well, honestly, it just depends on what the client's looking for.

Consider it done. $233 New 22-inch 1080p monitors are hitting the shelves soon—and they're coming with a solid 2 to 3-year warranty!

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking too. Honestly, I'll probably just hand it off to my sister so she can hook it up to her laptop for home use. Thanks!

Not sure if this belongs in the peripherals section or right here, but I was wondering... any idea how much I could probably grab for a Samsung Monitor?
Which PSU should I buy? in Desktops ·
Tried to get Flash Player installed, but everything just crashed my Witcher 3 yesterday anyway. I set up Firefox too, but man, I just can't seem to get used to it. Anyway, I don't wanna keep cluttering up this power supply thread with random stuff. Thx.

Timothy Kim60 said:If you're seeing artifacts all over the screen—those lines and weird glitches you mentioned—that’s definitely on the GPU. It’s got nothing to do with your power supply, trust me. Run some kind of GPU stress test (FurMark is the heavy hitter, or you could try MSI Kombustor or something inside OCCT). If it keeps throwing artifacts during the test, you should probably look into returning that card.

Man, I've tried everything and nothing works. I can play Witcher 3, Far Cry 4, or AC Unity for hours and everything runs totally fine. It's just when I'm using Chrome (YouTube videos, random websites, etc.) that things go sideways. I even tried turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome, but no luck there either. Anyway, I'm heading out tomorrow to grab an OCZ power supply, though it probably won't fix this specific issue, but at least I'll have a solid PSU for the next few years. Before this card, I was running a Sapphire 7750 that worked like a charm, but it just couldn't handle newer games. So yeah, that's where I'm at. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Bradley Lewis59 said:So, is the GPU overclocked?

Nah, just running at stock settings. It’s got this MSI app where you can toggle between three modes: Silent (300 MHz), Gaming (1080 MHz), and OC (1120 MHz). Right now, it's set to Gaming mode, but like I mentioned before, the PC doesn't actually shut down or restart or anything... it just hits me with a Blue Screen of Death (sometimes the screen goes black, sometimes it's those weird black-and-white stripes or whatever). The audio keeps playing fine though—like if I'm watching stuff on YouTube—but the picture just dies.

Thanks for getting back to me. I keep getting hit with the Blue Screen of Death every once in a while while I'm using Google Chrome or playing Witcher 3 (it only happens when I'm hanging out in the game menus). I've already messed around with both old and new drivers, but man, nothing seems to fix it.

My PC doesn't really shut down or restart on its own or anything, but my GPU is currently hooked up with one 6-pin connector, and I'm using a Molex adapter for the second 6-pin.

So, I figured I might as well just swap out the power supply since I was gonna have to upgrade it eventually anyway. I've decided to go with the XFX 👍

I'm torn between two power supplies:

http://www.newegg.com/products/detail...020097us/85003

http://www.newegg.com/products/detail...550sgren/91312

At first, I was looking at getting a Fortron Hexa or maybe a Hyper, but then I read some stuff saying those series aren't really all that great, so I'm leaning towards one of these two instead.

My current PC build has an Intel I3 3220 and an MSI 270 x card, plus an HDD, DVD/RW drive, keyboard, mouse, webcam, a USB TV tuner, and an external HDD. Right now, I'm running a Xilence Redwing 450 w, but I definitely want to beef things up a bit.

Thx.

Hey there,
just wondering what kind of price I should be looking for on a Sapphire 7750 1GB DDR5 that's about 2 years old.
Thx

Thanks, but I'm already rocking an ASUS GA-B75D3H
just swapping out the i3 for an Intel Core i5 and the 7750 for a Radeon R9 270x

I5-3470

Hey there,
thinking about upgrading my CPU and GPU

Intel Core i5 MSI Radeon R9 270 X
MSI Radeon R9 270 X

Right now I'm running a Xilence Redwing 450W, so I'm kinda wondering if that thing can actually handle the jump or if I should just bite the bullet and swap out the PSU too.

thx

Larry Ortiz5 said:I'd probably drop like 1200 bucks$433.

So, what's the ballpark price if I bought everything separately?
Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
Hey there,

could I get a quick reality check on what this GPU, CPU, and PSU combo is worth?

CPU: Intel Core i3-12100
GPU: EVGA RTX 3060
PSU: EVGA 400W Power Supply

Everything’s about two years old, though the CPU still has a year left on its warranty.

Everything runs totally fine, but honestly, modern games are starting to kick my butt, so I need to upgrade.
