Great, thanks for the quick reply

ASUS ROG Maximus motherboard, AMD970/SB950, DDR3,

Intel Core i7-4770K processor, socket AM3+, 3.3GHz, 16MB cache,

DDR3 RAM, 8 GB, Corsair Vengeance LPX HX318C10FB/8 1866MHz

LC POWER LC-CC-95 cooler

500W power supply, COOLERMASTER B500, RS500-ACABB1-EU, ATX v2.31, 120mm fan, PFC

Radeon RX 580 6GB DDR5 graphics card,

500GB HDD,

Dell UltraSharp 22" monitor,

COOLERMASTER Devastator keyboard + mouse combo

And some random case...

What's this whole rig worth?

Thanks! I'll set the price right there then. Around here, if someone actually offers $1233 their own 🙂

Just so you know, this part isn't covered by any warranty.
The monitor is a Dell UltraSharp

Back again.

What’s the going rate for this setup?

CPU: Intel Xeon
RAM: 8GB 1866MHz HyperX Fury
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970 A-DS3P
PSU: 500W Cooler Master B500
Cooler: LC 95
Storage: 128GB Kingston HyperX SSD
Keyboard & Mouse: Cooler Master Devastator
(All of the above still has about 18 months of warranty left)
+
Storage: 500GB SATA HDD
GPU: R7 260x 2GB DDR5 (has a few months of warranty left)
Monitor: Dell UltraSharp
Case: Not entirely sure...

Everything works perfectly, no issues at all.

I was actually looking at this specific model http://m.benq.com/product/monitor/gw2470h/.

That Samsung one? Honestly, the design is top-tier.

Thanks for the tip. I notice those two models pop up in the discussions quite a bit. Is there actually a meaningful difference between them? Also, how do they stack up against the BenQ 2470h, which seems to be sitting at a lower price point?

Can anyone help me out?

I've decided it's time to pick up a new 24" monitor. My budget is sitting right around $433. Most of my time will be spent browsing the web or playing games from Electronic Arts.

Any recommendations on a solid best buy? Or maybe someone knows if there's a decent sale running somewhere? I'll be paying cash.

Hey everyone, I haven't unloaded my old junk yet, so what's this worth?

An old motherboard with 4GB DDR2, an Intel Core i5, a 500GB HDD, an AMD Radeon R7 260X with 2GB GDDR5, and a Samsung SyncMaster P2250 monitor.

Thanks

Thanks for the help, guys 👍

So this is what it looks like now:

What am I supposed to do? Buy all my components using different currencies...

God, what a joke. 😛

I’m just sitting here realizing I can't even get everything I need at a single grocery store anymore, and honestly, it's driving me insane.

I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. Glad you caught that.

Actually, the math checks out. I ran the numbers through my spreadsheet and it comes to about $967.

That’s the plan, anyway. It doesn't make sense to sell or pick up a new GPU right now. This one isn't exactly garbage; it'll hold out for a while longer.

That’s great. But honestly, would I be better off just grabbing an Intel processor instead?

Alright everyone, I'm finally at the store picking up the parts I need to get this rig going. I’ve decided to hold onto the old R7 260 2GB DDR5, the aging 500GB hard drive, and the current monitor. Here is what I'm adding to the mix:

What do we think about this setup? Any thoughts on this combo?

Here’s a shot of the case

I'm out right now, but I'll snap some photos and send them over once I'm back.
The only issue is I seem to have misplaced a few screws I pulled out while swapping the GPU earlier.😁

I mean, if his RAM setup was just 4+2, why on earth didn't he just go with 2x4 instead? It makes zero sense.

Alright, I guess I'll stick with this case, maybe swap out the RAM too, and definitely throw in an SSD.

The case is already in my cart. It’s over five years old, so I don't see much point in dropping $50 on a new one.

Plus, the hard drive I'm running is ancient—only 500GB max—and honestly, I'm not even sure if it's SATA or what.

The only thing I might consider is picking up an SSD, but those prices are still pretty steep.

I noticed that graniteharbor85 and Timothy Kim60 have similar setups, so why is there such a difference in the RAM?
