How much is my computer worth?

Absolutely stinks of our forum :pac:

You could stick the PC up for about €1000 on Adverts, given its worth about that new, and it'd be one of the best valued machines on the site. Given the spec there's no need to make a loss imo

I've no idea the price of the monitors, maybe 80% of retail?

Erm.. I'm really sorry..I don't understand. You said in your singular pricing it's about 700+ without monitors and then said put it up for 1000? Did you mean because people would offer lower or did you mean that I put up my 'whole' computer including some parts I didn't list? Or did you mean everything I listed including the monitors?

Individually that's what they're worth. Given its built, tested with an OS and all drivers, and such a good spec you could list the PC alone for €1000, maybe do a deal with the monitors thrown in.

There are crap machines on Adverts worth maybe €400 going for 700-900 quid, your machine would be a steal for €900 or €1000 in comparison.

Hopefully I've made this clear

Thank you. Added with a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD and a Coolermaster Storm Trooper case so I can put up the whole PC, how much do you think it is?

Probably looking for €1200 is fair imo, if you get any offer over €1100 I'd take that, to forsee lowballers.

That's without the monitors as I've said

Thank you. This is just about perfect. Looking to buy a good bass so this is a great amount of money. Plus I'll be able to build a less powerful but decent PC.

You wont really know until you put it up for sale. While the part are worth it, i dont think the demand is there on adverts generally for spending a grand+ on anything. Most people wont recognise the value, and go for a pc 3/4 the price but half the power!

Hope those few people who knows the value of PCs take interest on my ad. Will put it up soon. Just allowing a friend first dibs on it if he wants it. If not, it goes on sale. Thank you guys.

Second hand prices, with new ones in brackets as I'm not sure which you're after. Not familiar with the case so may be thinking of a different NZXT

Hey Guys,
I'm looking to sell my laptop & wondering what you guys think she's worth. Custom built at PCSPECIALIST 7months ago, barely used & it was pretty price. It's a great laptop but the screen just isn't cutting it for my photography work.



Thanks a million!!

Out of curiosity how much did you pay for it originally? Beast of a machine but fairly niche I would imagine.

kjt

Yea she's a cracker. Paid €1,900

You could just buy a decent desktop monitor, keyboard and mouse - for those times when a laptop monitor isnt good enough? Cheaper than selling and buying again. Tis what I do anyway.

few years old now

I5 2500k is still a beast of a processor and is basically on par with latest i5 processors. Nothing has really changed with the latest i5s over the last few years.

If it's for gaming a graphics card is all that really needs to be updated and maybe add an SSD. I'd knock the graphics card off the price as not worth a lot and another 50 euro.

Tar.Aldarion

Great thanks, was wondering about the processors over the last few years, good to know. Mine is OCed to 4.6ghz so it does great. I have an SSD, samsung 256gb 830. so maybe a new gfx card and that pc is good to go.

Have a look at some cpu benchmarks for games and especially overclocked to 4.6 ghz it's still a beast. Graphics card all that's needed

TerrorFirmer

It doesn't even need to be overclocked for 95%+ games. The difference between it and a newer i5 is just a couple of frames and that's with a ridiculously powerful graphics card as well.

Hey folks,

I'm wondering what a reasonable price for the following would be

CPU: i5-760
MOBO: Asus P7H55
GPU: 460GTX
RAM: 2GB DDR3 x 2
PSU: Super Flower 450W
Wireless Adapter: Atheros AR922X
Case: I think I paid €40 back in the day

No HDD as it's on it's last legs.

Those components would be perfect for a cheap HTPC for someone.

I am no expert but i would reckon between €150 - €175 would be my opinion. Maybe €200.

This is selling it as a unit. You may receive more seperately

Hey guys, how much do you reckon this computer is worth.


I5 2400 processor
Gigabyte windforce gtx 770 2gb
8gb ram
2 x 320 gb hdd
Evega 500w psu 80
Coolermaster cpu cooler

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could give me a rough estimation on the value of my pc. Its an alienware x51 r2 i got about 2 years ago.

Intel Core i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz
6GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 645
1TB HDD
Windows 10 (or can be restored to windows 8)
The case is a black alienware x51 case with lights that can change colours

I know its not the most valuable but I was hoping it would be worth a bit more for the alienware brand and case.

Not sure whether to post here or in antiques!

I have an old gateway 2000 tower, originally pentium 1 75Mhz from around 1995. Think I still have the original motherboard, think it has a P3 in it at the moment.

It was heading for a skip but I see interest in old towers on ebay, its a pretty big unit. Even it I got a few quid, sad to see it go to a skip.

Honestly if you got 200 for it youd be pushing it.
Still capable as a word processor but a 310M and first gen i3 arent exactly powerful.

I had a first gen i3 with a 315m and got 200 for it about a year ago so id be assuming there worth slightly less now.

Whoever told you that probably chuckled all the way to the bank.2nd slowest CPU and slowest GPU of its generation.

Any more than €100 would be robbery tbh.
