How much can I get from my old rig?

[aeon187]

I7 920 @4.2 ghz

Asus p6t-v2

6 gigs DDR 1600

Intel SSD 160 gig

Corsair 1000 watt gold rated

GTX 285

Creative Xtreme gamer

Custom water cooling

 

1-should I sale the whole build with the cooling

2-should I take off the cooling put stock fan on?

 

What are your thoughts?

[ProjectBox153]

We need to know where you're located (currency reasons).

[ramencupofjoy]

I was thinking you could save the SSD as well, but that's just me.

If anyone else in your family wants a decent gaming rig then give them this. Just put the all of the air cooling back in and upgrade the GPU to an RX 470 8GB or GTX 1060 6GB.

[Aereldor]

The CPU is still very capable. All you need to do is upgrade the RAM to 8-16 GB and the GPU. You could definitely run an RX 480 in there without any bottleneck. Maybe even a GTX 1070 depending on what you want to play.

That CPU still kicks some ass. Get 4GB DDR3 DIMMs for a total of 12GB and get something like an XFX RX480 GTR. You'd be set for another 3-4 years.

I thought that said 128GB at first. Wow, mini heart attack over.

(assuming all of the components here are from roughly the same year)

about $250 CAD, maybe $300

[d3sl91]

I personally would not spend more than $250 USD ($326 CAD) on it.

[NTDaws]

Since I live in Canada and ik how much this is worth i'd say $80

@Jamiec1130 I forgot to mention the HAF 932 case!

[Vigilante505]

It wouldn't be a half bad media center pc or server I would think. $300 sounds reasonable. 

 

 

 

... But I'd only pay $80

[aeon187]

Im planning to maximize my money return with it.

huh. No i am just being realistic, not many people would pay that much for an older pc.

X58 boards are REALLY expensive.

[aisle9]

The i7 is worth about $30 these days. X58 motherboards are stupid expensive, so let's call that $100. 6 gigs of DDR3 1600 used right now would go for maybe $25? The SSD is probably worth about $40, the GTX 285 maybe $30-35. The sound card is worth about $5 to me, because there are stacks of ancient sound cards at the local secondhand electronics store for $10, and a sound card from 2009 is more or less as good as a sound card you get today. Dat power supply tho...even if it's got some age on it, Corsair's high-wattage PSUs tend to be really good. I'd peg it at $110-120, because even if it's not worth that, someone will see 1000W and Corsair and assume it's the greatest thing since DC current.

 

Add that all up, and you get a PC worth $350-ish if you part it out in my estimation. If you sell it all together, expect to take a hit, and probably a pretty big one given the age of the components. If I'm just dealing with a run of the mill workstation from 2010 that I've cleaned up and given a fresh Windows install, I'd just sell the system. When dealing with high-performance components from yesteryear, my preference is to part the system out. They're worth a lot more individually than they are as a whole.

 

All figures are in USD, btw.

[iRileyx]

I'd pay about £150 max($242 CAD) depends on the exact model of that power supply, probably do a little more.

[Guest]

300$ is a scam for me. Tech enthuthiasts won't pay more than 200$. But you may be able to scam some people with low knowledge.

I know the parts are actually worth way more. But the thing is you can get a Xeon E5 2670 for 50USD.

[aeon187]

@aisle9 Thanks for your input, Do you have an exemple of website, Where I can sale it parts to parts?
