Anyone?

You’re better off waiting for someone else to step up—maybe a Fosco or something similar.
$183 - You didn't even mention the price without the case included.
It’s ancient tech; it might have some niche value, but I honestly can't imagine who would actually want to buy this today.

You're better off waiting for someone else to post, maybe a Fosun or something, if you ask me.
$183 -That price doesn't account for the case, which you didn't even mention.
It’s ancient. It might have some value, sure, but who's actually going to buy this today?

The case is Google Step 207

I honestly have no clue, just add as much as you possibly can $33

Honestly, I doubt anyone’s going to shell out more than $167 for something like that.

Honestly, no matter what they offer you—take it. People give away rigs like this all the time.

I am looking to sell the following setup, so I would appreciate a quick valuation, specifically

LGA 775 socket, P43 chipset, four memory slots
Intel core2duo e6750 2.6ghz
4gb DDR2 800mhz
Seagate 320GB with a Windows 8 bootable drive
AMD Radeon 6770 1gb VRAM
Corsair VX600W power supply
Siemens 22in LCD monitor

I am selling this strictly as a complete bundle. For the record, the machine runs perfectly; it is completely dust-free and has been meticulously maintained.🙂

Max $833, feels a bit tight...

So, here’s the situation. I’ve managed to pull together a build, and I’m looking to list it for somewhere around 3000-$1167. I would appreciate a realistic appraisal based on the actual quality of the parts.

Corsair case, plexi side, includes two unused 120mm fans.
Lc Power 550w PSU, features a 6-pin connector for the GPU and a 120mm fan.
MSI A55 motherboard, IQ Center FM2 chipset. (Brand new)
AMD Athlon II X4 5300 Trinity processor, quad core. (Brand new)
8 GB DDR 1600 RAM (2 x 4GB) Patriot Signature. (Brand new)
EVGA Radeon 6770, 1GB GDDR5. (One year old)
Sony DVD-RW drive.
Seagate Barracuda 320GB HDD, 16MB cache, comes with a fresh Windows 8 installation.

Thanks for the help.

This setup is actually a bit better than yours, and since it's brand new, there's just no way you're getting $3,000 for that... unless you have original, licensed Windows copies... otherwise, maybe $2,000 at most.

I’m looking for a quick reality check on the value of an EVGA GeForce GTX series, complete package. It still has about 1.5 years of warranty left through Best Buy... Thanks!

800-900 kn.

Thanks!

So, I'm looking to move this rig. Any idea what kind of resale value I can realistically expect for a setup like this?

What’s the consensus on the current market price for these parts?

What's the fair price here? Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $833 for that setup. But hey, that's just me. Wait and see what everyone else thinks. Besides, why even sell it? Just grab a better card—maybe an HD6850, an HD6870, or if you've got about $100 to spare, pick up an HD7850—pair it with a quad Core processor, and you've basically got a whole new machine.🙂

Just grab a beefier GPU—maybe an HD6850, an HD6870, or if you've got about $150 to spare, an HD7850—pair it with a quad Core processor, and you've essentially got a powerhouse machine again. 🙂

I'm aiming to get about $500 on eBay and then use that as a down payment to upgrade $333...something like that. I'll pick up something else entirely. But now... I'm stuck. I'd probably need a better power supply too... I honestly don't know. If I do that, what am I supposed to do with this current card and CPU? Who would even buy them? xD... I'll have to look into it. RAM is getting pretty pricey and hard to track down, too. I'll wait to see what everyone else suggests. Thanks for the help. Later.

Honestly, I haven't decided yet. I definitely need to step up to a beefier power supply if I go that route. Then there's the whole dilemma of what to do with this GPU and the ProCom—who am I even going to sell those to? lol. I'll have to look into it. Finding decent RAM is such a headache lately; prices are through the roof and good stock is impossible to find. I'll wait and see what the rest of you think. Thanks for the help. Catch ya later.

You don't even need to upgrade your power supply. That Chiftech unit will handle an HD6850 or an HD6870 without breaking a sweat. Honestly, I doubt an HD7850 would give it any trouble either, even if you're running a quad Core processor. As for memory—what do you actually need more than 4 GB for? Besides, RAM isn't exactly cheap these days. I just picked up some 2x2 GB DDR2 sticks recently for a decent price. $83...

swiftfalcon89 said:An upgraded power supply isn't strictly necessary here; that Chiftech unit should handle a GTX 670 or even a GTX 680 without breaking a sweat. I suspect a GTX 750 Ti wouldn't pose an issue either, regardless of whether you're running a Quad-core processor. As for memory—why would you need more than 4 GB? RAM is incredibly cheap these days; I just picked up 2x2 GB DDR2 sticks for $83...

If I were in your shoes, I’d hunt for an OC Reaper. I checked Craigslist earlier and could barely find two listings, both for 4 GB, priced at roughly $75.
