I'd say the monitor is definitely worth $67, though the GPU might be a bit low at $17 (but maybe you could keep $100 as a starting point), and the case is probably just a tiny bit $83.

Adam Moore3 said:Did you forget to list the motherboard, or did it just slip your mind? As for the monitor, I honestly have no idea what kind of value you'd actually get $50 for it, since it's incredibly old—it's still running at a 1680x1050 resolution, if I recall correctly.

I should probably check that first, I guess; I realized I forgot to add that part. :slap:
The motherboard is an MSI B75MA-E33.

Thanks, 🙂

crimsonstag84 said:The monitor could definitely pass for $67, though I'd suggest saying the graphics card is $17 lower (though you could probably stick with $100 as a starting point), and maybe the case is at least $83.

Thanks, 🎉

Since those motherboards are pretty hard to come by, you could probably $117 set them as your initial 😛

I already found one for $67, which is what I used as my guide from click Quote

Thanks 🙂

Motherboard is also about $83.

Greetings, everyone. This time, I am not looking to buy, but rather to sell. I could use some guidance. Does anyone know what a fair price would be for this setup:
Motherboard - Gigabyte ga-970a-ud3p
Processor - AMD FX-8320 8
Graphics Card - Sapphire R9 380 x 4 GB nitro GDDR5
RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1666MHz
HDD - 1TB WD Green
Power Supply - Fortron Hyper 600W
Case - Antec 1200 + fan control (Zalman zm-mfc1)
Fans - One large 200mm fan, five 120mm fans, and a brand new Cooler Master Master Pro 140mm
Some sort of wireless USB dongle, though I am unsure of the exact model
Keyboard and Mouse - Devastator2

I have decided to part with this machine after about eighteen months of use. What should I expect to get for it?

Model: HP Pavilion dv6-2160eg
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core I5 Processor i5-430M
RAM: 4GB DDR3
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce gt 320 m 1GB DDR3
Hard Drive: 700GB

17.5''

The battery isn't exactly in its prime anymore, so I was thinking about trying to let this thing go for somewhere around $1,500–$1,600 if I can find the right buyer.

I'd probably put down $2,300 to $2,600 for it, though you might actually be able to squeeze out more.

I agree, though if you're out in the Midwest, it's a bit different

What are your thoughts on this trade?

mellowtiger83 said:The PC is worth significantly more—much more. How much higher would someone actually have to go? $333 Perhaps even more than that.

What kind of numbers are we looking at here? For both options. If you could provide an estimate. 😉

I’m thinking a laptop for maybe $2,000 max, provided it has a working battery and some semblance of a warranty left.

As for the PC $1000, perhaps $167 or even more, so let's say a minimum of $1000

I tried asking about this a month ago but didn't get much feedback... Since prices seem to be all over the place lately, I was wondering what this setup is actually worth on today's market? A friend of mine is looking into buying it, and I figured, why not try to get the best possible price if it makes sense to sell? It was originally purchased back in November 2016.

MSI B150M-Pro-VDH
Core i5 6402P
Z1 NEO
8GB Kingston DDR4
Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ 8GB
550W Samsung 550 w Corsair Kingston
240GB Kingston SSD

A buddy of mine is interested, and I figured I'd see if it makes sense to sell it for top dollar if the timing is right... originally bought back in November 2016.

MSI b150M- Pro-VDH $83
i5 6402P $233
Z1 NEO 150-$67
DDR4 8GB Kingston $150
RX 480 Nitro+ 8gb Sapphire $667
550W FSP Fortron 250-$100
SSD 240GB Kingston $133

The GPU market is pretty insane right now, so it's tough to pin down an exact number. You could probably grab $667 on Craigslist since you've still got some warranty left, especially considering the current value of a 4GB RX 580 $1000 🎉 You might even be able to ask for more given how the market is behaving.

What do you guys think this would be worth on eBay if I sold it for parts after pulling the Core i9 out of the rig?

And what kind of value are we looking at if I swap the Core i9 for a Ryzen 3 3200G? (Assuming the Ryzen actually works in this setup—it should, right?)

It really depends on what you need, but for a gaming rig, the desktop is ten times more powerful and worth about as much as both laptops combined.
