Computer Build Price Estimation

[JFischer00]

So, I was thinking of selling an entry-level gaming computer I recently built because I'm just not using it that much with such a busy schedule. I wanted to get an idea of what I should try to sell it for. All the parts are in like new condition. I was thinking about $600. What do you guys think? Too high? Too low? Just right?

 

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K (never overclocked)

MOBO: Gigabyte F2A68HM-DS2H

RAM: 1x8GB Crucial 1600MHz 11 CAS (never overclocked)

GPU: Sapphire HD 7850 1GB Dual-X Edition (never overclocked)

HDD: Seagate 500GB 7200RPM 2.5" Drive

Case: Rosewill Redbone USB 2.0 Version

PSU: Corsair CX 430M

OS: Windows 10 Pro

pcpartpicker.com   great website, try it out

 

I spec'd out what you listed, the video card I couldn't find what you wanted with price.  Total price around ~$400 minus video card.

Way too high.  I can do this for ~450 with all new parts and I could cut it down to 400 or so fairly easily.  1 GB GPUs aren't worth much these days.  I'd say 250 to 300 is what I'd pay.  Whoever is buying your rig is likely on a budget and likely wants to have some money left over for a GPU upgrade.  Yes yours has the OS on it, but that can be gotten via software swaps, etc.  

 

I suppose it being secondary market and all, list at 350-400 but be prepared to come down in price.  At 600 I'm not even calling you, at 400, maybe.

What would you consider to be a good GPU upgrade for this machine? Could I make more money if I upgraded the GPU with something I got for a good price on Ebay or something?

If you got a really good deal on a GPU, then yes you could up your profit perhaps, but that is all based on getting a good price on a functional GPU.  End of the day used hardware loses value quickly, especially entry level stuff, and like new doesn't mean that much.

Okay, maybe I'll hang on to it in case I find more time to use it. Anyway, thanks for your help guys.
