Hey all,
I'm in Canada and trying to plan an upgrade of my PC. However - I am stuck trying to figure out my best path. I don't have a lot of experience in value of old PC parts/systems and I am trying to figure out what I may be able to obtain for my old parts/system while I build it into the budget of my new PC. The two options I have are to either buy new parts and add them into my existing system (selling the old ones)... or to build a whole new PC and sell off this one as it is).
The original parts include:
Motherboard: MSI Z97S Krait Edition
Processor: i7 4790k (never ended up overclocking)
Heatsink: Hyper 212
RAM: 16 GB Kingston (cant remember specifics)
GPU: Asus Turbo GTX 970 OC
PSU: Corsair 850 Modular
Case: NZXT H440 (White)
Looking for opinions if I am better off upgrading mobo, cpu, gpu, ram and selling separately... or if I am better off selling this system as a whole. If anyone has any insight as to what market value might be for the system I would appreciate it as well. I tried looking via kijiji/facebook marketplace but the prices were all over.
I have not yet decided on other parts yet, but I am looking at an i5 10400 or a Ryzen 5 3600 as the new Proc replacement and work around that.
