Used PC builds: What are they worth?

What’s a fair price for these parts if I sell them individually or maybe as a bundle?
Intel Q6600 + Zalman 9000 cooler
Asus P5Q-Pro
2x2 DDR2 Kingston
Asus GTX 275
These are leftovers from an old gaming rig I used to run. Everything works fine. It feels like a waste to let them just sit here collecting dust when they could still be useful to someone.
They were running perfectly until two months ago when I swapped them into a secondary build to act as a backup for my main setup.😁 Because of that, I'm not selling the case, the power supply, or the drives.
Just wondering what kind of ballpark figure I should aim for. Is it better to sell them separately, or should I throw together another budget build and sell it as a complete unit? Does it actually make a difference in price, or is it even worth the effort?
Thanks.....

They were running perfectly until two months ago when I swapped some "new old" parts from my main build into this secondary junker.😁 Because of that, the case, power supply, and drives aren't up for grabs.
Just wondering what kind of price I could ask, or if I should just throw together another pile of parts and sell it as a complete unit. Is there actually any difference or point to it?

try $1000-$400

$400 sounds about right. I probably wouldn't downgrade either... I mean, your GPU is actually more powerful than an HD 5770, which you can still find going for around 300-$117

Nice, so $400.
Back when I first picked up that GPU, I was actually pretty happy with how it performed, even if it ran insanely hot—hitting 90 degrees under load at stock speeds. Overclocking it wasn't really an option. As for the CPU, I have good memories of it; I kept it at 3 GHz on stock voltage without any issues, and could push it to 3.4 GHz if I bumped up the voltage, but I dealt with some crashes during gaming. It would pass benchmarks just fine, then suddenly crash mid-game. So, I eventually just left it at 3 GHz for 24/7 stability, which worked out great. 😁
But yeah, all those parts are pretty much relics now.
I had no idea I could actually ask for $400 for that stuff. I don't follow the used market very closely... thanks for the heads-up.

Gigabyte Technology Co. EP35-DS3 x.x
Intel Core 2 duo E7300 clocked at 2.67 GHz
4 GB DDR2 memory, Max frequency: 400 MHz; Max bandwidth: PC2-6400
ATI Radeon HD 4650
SAMSUNGHD502IJ Hard drive, 465.76 GB SATA II
ST380815AS Hard drive, 74.53 GB SATA II
I guess maybe someone could give me a rough estimate on what this is worth, please?
thanks

What’s the going rate for this setup:
some budget case: Speedplus SH-S22
cpu: intel celeron e3400
motherboard: asrock g41m-vs3
ram: 2gb ddr3—now, CPU-Z is showing a DRAM frequency of 398.9 mhz, which... isn't that actually the speed?
gpu: amd radeon hd 6570
hard drive: some random 500gb samsung
psu: just some standard 230v unit

hard drive: some 500gb samsung, I guess
psu: just some 110v unit
Prža: $17
CPU: $33
Motherboard: $67
RAM: $33
GPU: 100-$40
HDD: $50
You didn't list the PSU model; 110V is just the standard US wall voltage, so that doesn't tell us much about the power supply itself.😬

Hey, can anyone give me an honest take on this setup?
Processor: DualCore AMD Athlon ii X2 250, 3000MHz (15 x 200)
Motherboard: Biostar A770 A2G+ (includes 3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM slots, Audio, Gigabit LAN)
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6670 (1 GB)
RAM: 2GB

So, just curious... do any stores or even random people around here actually buy up older components like this?
#917 ·
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260
RAM: 4GB total (2x2GB sticks) from Samsung, I think?
Motherboard: ASRock N68C-GS FX
Storage: A 300GB Seagate hard drive
PSU: An ASUS power supply, looks like it's about 280W
🙂

Greetings.
About a year ago, I put together a new rig, fully intending to build out a secondary workstation from these specific parts. However, life happens, plans change, and I’ve since abandoned that idea entirely. Now, I find myself sitting here with these components just taking up space, and I'd much rather see them go to a good home than let them gather dust on my shelf. So, I am looking to sell:
Motherboard: AsRock N68C-S UCC
Processor: Intel Pentium Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: DDR2 4GB
I have to ask—is there actually any value left in this hardware, or am I just chasing ghosts? What would be a realistic asking price if I want to move these quickly? My true goal is to actually complete a sale, rather than just letting a listing sit on Craigslist indefinitely while absolutely nobody reaches out to inquire about it.

Motherboard: AsRock N68C-S UCC - give it a shot $50
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo - 50-$33$ - honestly, starting at 100-$ $50 you can find processors that are more than twice as good (like a Celeron G1620), though perhaps someone specifically needs or wants an AM2 CPU
RAM: 4GB DDR2 - $67 enough for everything ($17 per GB)
