Old Gaming PC

[Ukiryah]

OK so I have this old FX-6300 build that I made about 2 years ago now, and I have no use for it. I'm just trying to find out what it's worth so I can sell it locally. Here's the parts list:

 

CPU: FX-6300 6 Core Black 3.5GHz (Up to 4.1GHz)

Mobo: Gigabyte GA880GM-USB3 

RAM: 8 GB Corsiar XMS3 1600MHz DDR3

Heatsink: XIGMATEK HDT-S1284EE 

GPU: PNY 2 GB GT 730 DDR3 (The weakest part of the system. I used a GTX 1060 for a while but when I upgraded to my current PC I used my 1060 in it)

PSU: OCZ600MXSP Semi Modular (80 Plus Bronze Certified)

HDD: Your standard Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Hard Drive that has only 500 GB of space on it

Case: XSNIPER2-GN (Also keep in mind there's a small chip on the plastic)

 

That being said, the PSU doesn't have 6 or 8 pin connectors, I had to use dual 4 pin molex to 6 + 2 pin connectors (2 of them making dual 6 + 2 pin connectors), the CPU can only upgrade as high as a Phenom X6 1100T or an FX-6350 (If maximum performance was wanted), a GPU as high as a 3 GB 1060 (from my GPU...and yes I know the 3 GB is basically a 1050 TI Mk. 2) and any SATA 2 compatible SSD. Again I'm just trying to get a price on this thing to sell locally, and thus far from PC Part Picker I can get around $400 for it but I need an ACTUAL opinion and not something calculated from a website looking for used and new prices. The computer works 100% fine, I was able to get 60 FPS at medium settings and DX12 enabled on EA Dice's Battlefront II (mind you this was with the 1060 not the 730) and about 40 at 1440p, medium-low with DX12 enabled. I was gonna upgrade the GPU to something like a 2 GB 1050 or a 2 GB RX 460 or something, just to get a better GPU than the crap 730.

 

Anyway if I could get some basic answers to my question I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

I'd buy it for maybe 300, 350 USD.

Not much so give it away to someone in need.

These figures are coming from what I've actually bought these or similar components for locally, and/or how they stack up to known retail equivalents for the price.

 

CPU: $40 (R3 2200G is $60 new right now)

Mobo: $30 (if that, AM3+ boards outside of the 990 chipset don't age well)

RAM: $25 ($20 gets you 8GB of DDR3 on eBay, but yours is a bit fancier)

Cooler: $0 (old, unremarkable)

GPU: $10 (GDDR5 model would be worth more, but what you've got there is the equivalent of a GT 430, no good for any kind of gaming)

PSU: $0 (low quality and you've already said you're running Molex-to-fire adapters to make it work)

HDD: $10 (500GB hard drives can be found for this price shipped)

Case: Damaged, so $10

 

The GPU, PSU, HDD and case kill you. I wouldn't pay you more than $40 for it, because I'd have to turn around and buy at the very least a PSU and GPU to make it usable, possibly a case, possibly a new mobo if yours has held up as well as most Gigabyte AM3 boards have. If you find someone locally who doesn't understand that this thing with a GT 730 DDR3 is to gaming as drugs are to your brain, you could get $175-200 for it.
