I need to gauge how around how much I'll need out of pocket. So my question is, what's a fair price for: i5-4460 ASRock Z97 Extreme4 Corsair Vengeance C70 case 12GB DDR3 memory (yes I know my sig says 16 but I would only be selling 12) Maybe a Hyper 212, can't decide if I want to keep that or not All used but in basically new condition, fully functional. Also, since it's multiple compatible parts but not quite a complete system, if I were to list it somewhere like Craigslist to sell should I do the whole thing or each part individually?

For who knows what reason, Windows 10 decided to make a 100GB partition from my 1TB hard drive. Nothing is on it but the now empty partition is BEFORE the rest of the data on my drive. I know that I can extend a partition to leave the whole drive as 1 location, but through disk management that would mean extending the empty data using the rest of the hard drive that has data on it. Will this effectively wipe the drive? I don't want to mess with all the programs / games / personal data that's on it. Virtually everything besides the OS. Here is an image of what I'm dealing with and why I'm concerned (Deleted the partition before taking the screen shot so it's just unallocated. It was set to F: by Windows before hand) [ Screenshot of Disk Management ] I know I could also use a 3rd party disk management tool to move the partitions but from experience that can take an whole day to do. Thanks for looking and any information you can provide. -
So yesterday I found a fully working i5 2400 PC sitting in an e-waste pile and I started thinking about all of the perfectly working PC's that go to recycling centers where they are often just sent overseas or trashed, all because large companies upgrade their PCs every 3-4 years. Anyways, I started thinking, what if someone were to buy those computers off of companies that would gladly get rid of them (for around $10-50 per PC depending on the specs) and bulk order a ton of GTX 1050s/RX 460s and sell budget gaming PCs for console prices at a trustworthy store with a warranty for those that don't want to build a PC themselves or don't want to take the risk or buying used from Craigslist. Not saying its entirely original, and I know there are stores like Free Geek, but what is your take on this? I see it as a win-win-win: Profitable for companies, profitable for the middleman who fixes up the PCs (reinstalling Windows and installing new graphics card/cleaning out dust, etc.), and cheap gaming PCs for the buyer (much cheaper than Alienware and other prebuilts).

I ran across an intreagueing Craigslist post on Monday. Three used Laptops in unknown condition. No chargers and no hard drives but 30$. After looking at the rather grainy photos, I came to the conclusion that I was monstly interested in the Asus laptop, as it seemed to have a core i badge (I could tell from the gold fold on the badge) and Radeon graphics (red badge). After asking if I could just bu the one, he said just take them all for 10$! So all told I ended up with three laptops for 10$. The Dell and the Sony are older and nothing to write home about, but the Asus looks promising. It turns out to have a core i5 mobile prosesor (probably first gen maybe 520m?) and ATI HD 5470 graphics and to top it all off a blue ray drive. I ordered a charger and new battery off Amazon and I will update you guys on whether or not it ends up working. Even if it dosen't work, I'm only out 10$ (USD) so no big deal. Let me know what you guys think of my pick up.

Hi, I am looking to get a rugged/tough laptop for a trip I am doing in the summer; mainly to backup the photos and videos I will be taking. Therefore it just needs to run Windows or Linux and be able to transfer files. I am on a very tight budget of £100 ($130USD) so I am looking at used laptops. I am also interested in people's experiences with 'rugged' laptops. If there is a better solution feel free to suggest it. Thank you for the help!

Hello reader, I need advice. I was going to buy an RX 580 (when it's actually available) and a Freesync monitor because i wanted to try it out and my current graphics card is dying. I was settled for a 300€ RX 580 and a 150€ Freesync monitor, when I saw a used GTX 980 for 180€. Now i got unsure, should i stick to my Freesync plan or should i buy a cheaper and possibly better 980, though without any form of adaptive refreshrate technology. Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Hello there LTT forum-ers, Hi from Malaysia Just a quick reminder of where I am from, in case this bit of context might help gauge the local pricing and what-not. After so many years only being part of the comments on YT, I am quite happy to say my first post here will be for my first ever gaming PC. It's quite safe to say I have spent the better half of a year trying to know the bleeding edge of tech (which is primarily covered by Linus and crew), but I am a simple man and really enjoy trying to find a budget PC (and watch the likes of TechYesCity, TechDeals, and HardwareUnboxed for my daily dose of price to performance. There are many others too including Gamers Nexus, Tech of Tomorrow, and of course the trinity: Jay, Kyle and Paul) (also, first post here; hope it's cool to give other tech tubers a shout-out; would love to hear from other you guys watch too!) Watch as many channels as I may though, it's always a sweaty, scary feeling when I actually am ready to shell out what my own money.. However, there's one big caveat: It's basically just a used build. Reason is I am a student, and money is tight but so is my ability to justify a very expensive PC (if I am able to save them after skipping three meals in a day.. haha jokes) is basically zero in the short term. Maybe 3 years down the line only am I able to get myself a real new rig to myself). So after all the faff, here's the build I'm looking to buy, for an equivalent of 380 USD: Processor: i7-3770K with stock cooler Motherboard from Asus: P8Z77-V PRO (This mobo, I honestly quite like. I have a 5.1 speaker which simply would not work properly on my current Laptop, and I would like that to change) GPU: a GTX 660Ti RAM: 4 GB of 1600Mhz DDR3 from Corsair And a 650W GX PSU from CM OS and Storage is also included. What do you guys think? I have a 1080p monitor, and would like to get a solid 60fps for titles like Total War : Shogun 2 and CIV 6. Somewhere close to there will be fine for Triple-A titles. I also play E-sports games, but that shouldn't be a problem, right? I am thinking of buying a HD 7970 (3gb or 2gb GDDR5), which I can get here in Malaysia for about 105 USD and swapping the cards out. So for three years of gaming, do you think this rig will hold up? (Also, no more warranty from the supplier, except for RAM maybe.) Oh and one more thing: The current laptop I am using has an i7-4810MQ @ 2.1Ghz and a GTX 870M. It's about 3 years old, come this August.

So I have been using a second hand Corsair H80i I bought off Gumtree for about 2 - 3 months now, and it has been working perfectly with no issues. However, I recently saw a good deal for a H100i and nabbed it for £35 - the same price I paid for my H80i. I got it as I thought I could sell my H80i for a decent price fairly easily. So, my question is how safe are used AIO liquid coolers, how likely are they to fail or leak in some way? This H80i, as I said, has seen no problems, however one example of a second hand AIO is not enough data to come to a decent conclusion, so I would like to hear some of your opinions on this matter. -
Either than ebay, what sites are good to buy used parts?

Just made a hefty upgrade from this: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/GKfR8K To this: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/RQXdWX I have no need for my old computer, and am planning on selling it on Kijiji/Craigslist. The GPU/CPU has never been overclocked before, so I'm pretty sure that adds value to it. I'm going to be selling it as a "mid-range gaming PC", but I'm not sure if it can still be called that since it's sporting a 3770K. Anyway, if you guys could tell me what you think I'd be able to sell this computer for, let me know. <3 :}

Is it worth it to upgrade a i3 3240 to a i5 2500 for $45 with 3 months of warranty. I'm a college student and I don't work so I don't have a lot of money. I appreciate the help -
Hello everyone, This is my first post here at the forum and I am currently looking for a cheap used computer. I found this PC with 2 x 240 GB SSD, Intel i5 4460 with 32 gb of ddr3 ram and a gtx 760 (may upgrade) and it also includes a 27" Monitor from Samsung and everything costs 500 bucks. Is it worth it or not? Please motivate as I want to make a good deal. If I would upgrade the graphics card, I found this used 780 Ti for 120$ and wanted to ask if that is a good deal aswell? Thanks in advance, Fhroozt.

Hello everyone and thanks if you help! Im not sure if i should buy a used pc or build my own, my budget is 750 cad (with taxes, shipping, and os) Used pc: FX-8320E, GTX 970, 2tb hard drive, 32 gigs of ram, win 10, and he isn't sure if it has a 250gb or 500gb ssd, it's all that for 750, or maybe build one with worse part but upgrade eventually. I will be using it for graphic design and also gaming (not too much gaming tough) HELP!
-
Realistically speaking, how much could I get? Is asking for $130 (CAD) too much/little?

Hey there! So before I start off - I know that there seem to be a lot of Alienware/Prebuilt-haters out there but give me a break. I'm not looking for people to tell me how garbage their systems are or whatever, and how much easier/cheaper building a system myself would be. I've heard your arguments, and I am willing to give it a try nonetheless, so please spare me with that. Anyways, right now I am thinking about buying a used Alienware Aurora R4 ALX on eBay (i7 3930K, 16GB of Dominator Platinum RAM, 256GB SSD Samsung Pro 840/1 TB HDD, Win10 Pro) for 800€ and then, since the GPU isn't included, buy something like a GTX 1070. I mean for around 1250€ I'd get a Watercooled HexCore, 16GB of RAM, an SSD, a GTX 1070 and an extremely awesome looking case. I'd mostly game on it and probably do some recording in the future. I know that the CPU is 'only' IvyBridge-E, but even so it's still a six-core running at a 4.0Ghz overclock and paired with a 1070 that should give me an extremely satisfactory gaming experience right? But here's my question - do you guys think that this is a good deal? To me, it seems pretty solid, keeping in mind the really awesome case and all. Now obviously, upgrading the motherboard is, let's just say, "tricky" but there have been people that managed to do it, so if at some point in the future I really feel the need to upgrade the platform I'd be willing to give it a shot.

I'm looking to add an SSD to my system, something around or above the 500GB mark. So I see a lot of 500GB 850 Evos used for about $120, with the Crucial Mx300 525GB selling for the same price. Is there any point to buying used for SSDs? the performance between these two drives seems to be about the same... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-mx300-ssd-review,4723.html

hello forum! I found a deal on a PC CPU: Q6600 RAM: 8GB ram DDR3 (4x2) GPU: hd5450 PSU: 600W power supply (corsair) HDD (not sure of capacity yet) keyboard, mouse, controller Monitor (1680 x 1050 60Hz) Windows 10 Antec 900 gaming case 6-year-old build AIM: mainly to game (not very demanding games. e.g. Overwatch, Skyrim) I know that I will need a better GPU if I get that PC. I'm considering a GTX 570 or similar (my budget on the GPU would be £50 MAX!) I currently have a 4-year old laptop, and it looks like a good deal I'm living in the UK right now What sort of test would it be nice to do (they said they can show it working)? (to test it's working under load) free ones please! THANK YOU!

Okay so, i've been trying to test out a used EVGA GTX 650 for my friend, and the troubles we've had are as follows - The GPU without the Power Input on His PC will spin the fans, and display through the Motherboard output - The GPU with the Power Input on His PC will not allow his PC to turn on at all - The GPU without the Power Input on My pc will spin the fans, and display through the motherboard output - The GPU with the power input on my Pc will spin the fans, turn on my computer but still display through the motherboard DVI output My question is - Is it a faulty Graphics card as such? Or a problem with installing it? (It doesn't show in Device Manager) The Fan is spinning at 100% (assuming because it's so loud) so im guessing theres something wrong with the die or the logic board. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm just curious as to why it's doing this - Yes, he has tried using PCI 2.0, 3.0 and another PC he owns as well, no luck. -
im roaming the classifieds and im seeing R9 290´s for about 130~150€ , Is it worth it? or should i just crossfire my 270x´s? doing the latter will need a psu upgrade (im not gonna molex 2 6pin connectors to this old brick ) any reccoemndations for that ?

Buying a used graphics card so I can SLI, the seller says its about 4 years old, I was told the general lifespan of a GPU is about 3-5 years, is that a problem? ( I bought my current graphics card, a GTX 660 brand new 2-3 years ago.)

I'm looking to buy a new graphics card for my system in the future, From looking for the last few weeks I am convinced that buying a Gtx 980ti used off ebay for around £280 is what I should do. However I just wanted to hear others opinions on this. Can anybody think of something better, Or is my judgement correct?

Hello everyone. So I helped a friend building a computer from one of our country's stores and they build, test and ship the pc after they are done. When the pc arrive he wants me to verify that all the parts that we choose are indeed there and are all new. I know how to check hard drives and ssd's with 'crystaldiskinfo' for total hours used and by that know if I got a used drive. But what about cpu and gpu? is there a way of checking? Thanks all edit: Another small question.. I'm not so familiar with overclocking but the computer that I built him has i7 7700k, ASUS Z270-P PRIME with CoolerMaster Hyper 212 as a cooler. Is there anything I need to know before I try to overclock the cpu? And what's the safest clock speed I can get with this cooler? Thanks.
