Yeah that would be pretty fair seeing as thats a 700$ GPU so one would be paying 5-600$ for the parts in that computer.   I sold a similar generation PC with 16GB DDR3, i5, gigabyte mobo, etc etc for around 350 so considering its an i7 with overclockable parts you shouldnt have a problem getting 12-1300 CAD/

My buddy gave me his old computer when the graphics card died, and wound up buying a whole new computer instead. Since then, I got a brand new case, a new Noctua fan, and an RTX 2070 Windforce for it. I'm thinking I might sell it and get a laptop, so I was wanting to know what you guys would pay for a computer with these specifications

 

 

I also included a picture of the cable management since I feel like that should add some value:

€900 or so, you might be able to get €1000 for it tbh

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

That is a very capable machine you got there I would think someone would pay 1100-1300 CAD for that its not really up-gradable in the hardware department as everything is slightly dated DDR3 ETC but you could also think about taking out the 2070 selling that separate and trying to source a cheap 1080 capable gpu like a RX 570/580 GTX 1060 and re sell it with a used gpu in there.

800$US...i would say.

In CAD you could put an ad for it at 1200$ and end up selling it for 1100$ i guess.

Alright, sounds good. I'll see what I can get for it; I just wanted to know the opinion of others before I put it up for sale. :)

Ask for $1100 CAD, sell for less, I'd say 900 is OK.
