The computer:

HP Pavilion P7-1549

Licensed Windows 8.1

 

Specs:

CPU - AMD A10-5700 3.4GHz Quad Core

GPU - MSI GTX 650

HDD - Western Digital Blue 1TB

RAM - 10GB 1600MHz Hynix

DVD drive

 

Front panel: 

Multi memory card reader

Headphone/Mic

USB 3.0 x2

 

Motherboard:

Ethernet

USB 2.0 x4

USB 3.0 x2 

Wifi 802.11 N

PCIe 3.0 16x

(MSI, MS-7778)

 

 

The variable is the power supply.  There are three options:

1. Antec EarthWatts Green (380W) Bronze.  (5 years old, currently installed for 2 years)

2. Corsair CX600 (600W) Bronze (almost 3 years old)

3. Corsair CS450M (450W) Gold. (almost 1 year old, lightly used throughout)

 

 

Primary inquiry: What would you say this computer is worth?  And which power supply would be best for its value?

 

Secondary question: Which PSU do you think would be best as backup/troubleshooting? (for any system, not this one)

I wouldnt go a dime over 200$ (usd)

And the newer supply will be "better" though im using that term softly

I wouldn't do anything more than $225.

Honestly, I'd do the CS450M. It's the least used probably.

$200 and that's really pushing it for me.

Check out the last line in my OP.  I edited.   Your thoughts?

If for a light use machine, the Antec. If for a more regular use machine, CS450M.

Interesting.  I was kind of thinking the same thing. The Antec unit is the resident in that HP.
