Like everyone else i have been looking for a new GPU for months now but haven't gotten lucky.the only way i see myself getting one is by buying a pre built even though i would much rather keep my PC and just upgrade the GPU (i just upgraded from an i3 6100 and added another 8gb of ram which cost me nearly 300 bucks). the only way i can afford that however is by selling my current rig. im not out to rip anyone off but ive spent a lot of time and money on this computer. as such i would like suggestions for the price i set on my used PC setup. thanks for any feedback specs are below! i7 6700k overclocked to 4.5ghz hyper 212 evo cpu cooler asrock z170x1 msi gtx 960 2gb 2x8gb gskill 3200mhz ddr4 650watt 80 plus bronze psu random ebay full atx tower case with 3 case fans 1tb 7200rpm hdd windows 10 pro wireless mouse and keyboard combo i intend to sell it as a ready to go gaming pc with peripherals (minus monitor) whats a fair price to ask for this?

Hi, i would like to show you my way to the setup i run nowadays. It all started 4 years ago when i was just casually searching local used market and i came across my dream cpu block (from times when i was kid and cannot afford custom WC). At the time a was without desktop pc few years so the plan was born. I like small things so ITX was the way. It take me like another year to collect mostly used parts for complete system and i just build it. Also all the WC parts was used, because i have no use for desktop pc (at that time) so want that pc cheapest posible. If i remember correctly only brand new parts was PSU, Drive and some other stuff. In that parts list was...how to put it.... a very big radiator - alphacool monsta 420 which in no known universe will fit in a small itx case so i have to find way to get it running. So i welded up some "holder" for that rad and D5 pump. Problem was the power suply because at the beginning i wasnt planing build somehow powerfull pc so i pick up just 450W PSU and i was affraid that it wasnt enough for my entire system so i bough a 80W power brick and solder some molex connectors on that to power the D5 pump and 3 140 fans on the rad. So that was my first version of the pc was born. I like to call it "the Jank" setup. Parts list: used Ryzen 1500x open box Strix 450 itx board used 16Gb RAM new NVME drive used SSD M.2 drive new Corsair SF 450 power supply used R9 290x with block on it - i pay 35 USD for that all WC parts was picked up used with exception of D5 pump - that was open box used Raijintek Ophion case new Arctic 140 fans new 80W power brick new monitor new keyboard and my old trusty G5 mouse i have like 15 years now Next 2 years was ok, setup works fine but that desk...oh boy...i hate that desk so i build myself a new one. One with build in holder for that ridiculous radiator/pump combo. I also decide to buy some BRAND NEW!!! fitings and proper guick disconnects between rad/pump and rest of the system. The rest of the system remains untouched. So i picked up some steel squares (40x40mm) and ikea kitchen desk and get it done. I sanded down the color of the frame so it looks weared and old. My last "evolution" was actually yesterday when i moved system fron Raijintek Ophion case to new SSUPD Meshlicious i bought. I also abandoned that ridiculous (and very loud) cooling solution for something actually sufficient for my old parts and my use of the system. Honestly i was about to get just new case and go for air cooled system but nerd inside of me wont. I abandoned air cooling plan and go for "fully" build "show" pc with custom WC. I pick again...BRAND NEW!!!! alphacool WC parts like pump block, 280 rad, new noctua fans, new fittings and also hard tubing. I print myself a bending mandrels for hard tubing but ended ub buying alphacool mandrels because printed just dont work for me. I screw up 4m of hard tubing at first try but next time i get it right. I started with homemade (sandpaper) satin tubes but ended up liking clear acrylic ones. When i was bending those tubes i was like....dude...you are making such a beautifull tubing and want to put there those ugly psu cables? Hell no...so next task was sleeving all psu cables. It turn out so good that i ended up sleeving every single one cable in that case . So thats the end of the story for now. Hope you enjoy it and maybe it will inspire somebody to build new system.

I think it's a pretty good deal. Only concerns: CPU not supporting SMT compared with AMD, Mobo only supports upto Gen9 intel CPUs, PSU a little weak Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Some Gaming, some ML-training (mostly sklearn + xgboost) Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

I'm considering switching from Mac to PC, because, to be honest, no one uses a XBOX to play games (at least in my area), so I've always been stuck to playing solo or single player games. Also, as I just recently switched from iPhone to Android, it seems like Windows has a better integration with Android than Mac. The thing that worries me about switching is that a Mac holds its value pretty well, while I've heard that Windows laptops like to lose their value 80% over a year. What percentage price drop should I count with, with non-apple laptops (to narrow it down, I'm mainly thinking about Dell)?

Hey LTT community, I'm a university student studying Computer Science at the University of Toronto. Much like the LTT team, I have been a long time advocate of the 2nd hand electronics market and frequent communities such as /r/hardwareswap and heatware - both to save money, but also to reduce the amount of electronic waste that is produced nowdays. The biggest issue I have with the second hand market right now is that its pretty difficult for those with less tech knowledge to enter the market. They don't know where to focus their budget, what "the numbers" mean, etc. and as a result most people just end up buying cheaper electronics new; less value for them, but also more electronic waste. As a result, prices for most devices on sites such as Ebay or Facebook marketplace are often higher than they should be, leading to the used electronics market being quite... dead. I'm starting up a side project which will help those with less technological know-how so that the general public can better price their used devices, as well as have a good idea how much they should be paying for other people's old devices on websites such as ebay or kijiji. That being said, its not a simple process - a lot of things have to be considered when pricing old electronics, such as the original manufacturer (@Microsoft and Apple tax), specs, new tech dropping the value of existing devices (think Ryzen launch) etc. For obvious reasons, I'd like this to be as accurate as possible. With this in mind, what do you consider when buying and selling your old devices? Thanks in advance!

What do you think a used pc of these specs would go for? CPU: I5-2500 Mobo: H61 GPU: GTX 960 PSU: 350w SSD: 256gb HHD: 1tb Case: DIYPC Solo-T2-BK RAM: 8GB ddr3
