which system to sell and which system to keep?

[Ashley MLP Fangirl]

i have 2 systems at the moment, and i would like to sell one of them. 

 

1st one - parts i want to sell

dual Xeon X5650

intel s5520hc

24gb of ram

 

2nd one - parts i want to sell

i5 7400

gigabyte ga-b250m-ds3h

16gb ram

 

the rest like psu's and gpu's i'll sell seperately. 

 

which one should i keep? i've tired selling the 7400 bundle before but nobody made a good offer on it.

I'd sell the one with the i5 7400 since you're selling DDR4 RAM with it, which is worth a lot more than DDR3.

The question is : what do YOU want to do with the system you keep.

 

If you want it building your own server, keep the intel xeons stuff. If you just want a allround machine with a little gaming in 1080p (depending on the gfx card), websurfing, office work... keep the I5.

I believe I recognize your profile,

haven't you posted about that dual Xeon machine before?

At any rate, I would flip the xeon machine, unless you're working with some heavily multithreaded workload.

mostly gaming but also sometimes multiple VM's and 40 - 50 browsertabs at the same time. 

 

i should probably mention, in the system i'm keeping i will install my R9 290X.

I'd sell the i5, but it's up to you  If you part out the rig with the Core i5, I think you could get a higher asking price on the individual parts.

yeah i know. but i don't get good offers on it.

Then sell everything else at a slightly-higher asking price first. Sell the Core i5 last. That's what I'd do...

that won't work. nobody makes good offers even at higher asking. i tried.

@firelighter487 I'd go straight to online selling, then. If no one near you is willing to pay the price, they don't deserve to buy from you. Try eBay or Amazon...

i already tried the dutch equivelant of ebay. that's where i got no decent offers.

@TopHatProductions115 i could also try to sell the Xeon's and the board for them, and use that to fund a 6700K/7700K....

I'd be happy to take it off your hands
