Used PC builds: What are they worth?

You’re way off base with that price—honestly, for $1000 you could basically build a whole new rig that would smoke yours. I doubt anyone is actually going to hand over $2,000 for this. Check out this listing; it doesn't have any RAM, sure, but the GPU is significantly beefier than what you've got:

Or maybe look at this one, which includes a monitor:

And besides, shouldn't you be looking for a full two-year warranty?

And besides, what exactly is supposed to be covered by a two-year warranty?

From my perspective, there’s no real value here. If I let it go for $2,000... someone will likely swoop in and grab it for $3,000. Plus, it comes with a full warranty on everything.

Like Timothy Kim60 mentioned, nobody is even going to $667 give you that much.

No way you have a full warranty on that. Those parts are older than three years.

CPU + Motherboard $67
GPU $100
RAM $80-100
PSU - maybe $100-150 depending on the tier and how much life is left in it
HDD - $100
Old IDE optical drive - if anyone actually needs one $17 max...

The thing is, this was all put together by some guy working out of his garage... he doesn't even have an official LLC, just a small repair shop, yet he actually offered a complete warranty covering every single part. LOL.

Is there something I'm not seeing? An HD 5670 for $33? 😬

You could probably pick up a decent $117 for that kind of money...

Hey everyone,

I'm finally ready to ditch this dinosaur for something actually modern, so if anyone could give me a rough idea of what this old rig is worth...

In my opinion, this is a fantastic deal provided everything is legit.
It is possible the CPU might act as a slight bottleneck for the GPU, but overall, it's fine...

Too true.

But honestly, it’s almost a crime not to overclock a board with those specs 😁

Hi there.

Could I get an estimate on these parts?

Power Supply: Seasonic X900
RAM: G.Skill DDR2 800 MHz 2GB x 4

The warranty has expired, but everything is fully functional.

Thanks in advance.

Here's what I'm running.

CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 3.07GHz
MB- ASUS P5G41T-M LX 2
HDD- 60GB
RAM- 4GB DDR3
Plus a practically brand new LC POWER 1360MI case

So, here’s what I’m running at the moment:

Intel Core i7-12700K
ATI Sapphire Radeon 4870HD
4GB DDR2 RAM, honestly can't even remember if it's 1600 MHz or something slower...
2x 500GB HD, probably spinning at 7200 rpm
ASUS ROG Maximus Z790
