How much is my Rig worth? / what do?

[Brennan Price]

Hello all, 

 

I am currently in the thought process of selling my desktop PC, I have somewhat of an idea as to what it is worth but I want to be sure. Also, should I sell it as a whole or in parts? (a few parts have gone up in value since I bought them).

 

The whole reason behind this is so that I have extra funds for upgrading to something more powerful and more current Gen. 

 

My specs are as follows: 

 

Xeon X5675 @ 4.2GHz stable 

12GB DDR3 1333MHz triple channel memory

Asus P6T6 WS Revolution motherboard

GTX Titan Black 6GB

EVGA 750W GQ Gold

Akasa R20 Venom 240mm Rad

Aerocool Aero 300 case

128GB SATA SSD

2 x 250GB Seagate Barracudas

USB-C 4 port expansion card

1m USB RGB Strip

 

I can add pictures if need be as I believe they sell better depending on how they look?

 

Thanks, BP.

I would pay $1000 usd for it.

Not a lot really, looks like a lot of older hardware that can be bought fairly cheap these days.

Xeon X5675 = $35
12GB DDR3 = $50
Asus P6T6 WS Motherboard = hard to say, old boards can often be inflated. Probably somewhere between $50-$150 depending on how desperately someone wants it.
GTX Titan Black 6GB = $200-$250
EVGA 750 GQ = $50
SSDs & HDDs = $30
And probably not much for the rest...

Total maybe USD $500-$600? Maybe someone who doesn't know what it's worth would be willing to pay a little more.

Thats really nice

worth more than 1000

i think you could get away with 1200-1300

Honestly, that's what I thought, considering a large majority of parts are less than 6 months old, they still have some good resale value. The PSU I'd say is at least £70 though as it is currently £95 and is not very old at all with box and everything too. Considering the UK market as well, I calculated maybe £600 for it total but it's hard to say. CPU is lapped also.

I would pay 1200 usd though

Ah thanks, I want to upgrade to DDR4 as well since it is much faster.

I'm more in line with Spotty's  ~$500-600 estimation. An informed buyer would more likely spend $1200-1300 USD on specs that would net objectively faster (e.g. 2x) and newer parts.

i know it sounds strange

Thanks for the info, I reckon I could at least pull in its upper value there of around £600. It's always been kept pretty clean, it has a fairly rare Mobo and the Titan has an upgraded cooler on it (not pictured). I'll see what I can do aha.

You should upgrade to DDr4

Can't use DDR4 with that Xeon, not compatible. Also, could you not spam this topic?

 

@Brennan_Price that rig is more than the sum of its parts, charge more than just the used cost of the components because you've done a good job with the look of the PC, and if it's well cable managed that's one more point of value

You would have to part-out to tap into the value of the motherboard, and would be appealing to a very very specific niche. Expect a slow sale and possibly even holding onto some of your inventory if you go down that route. I don't recommend it. At least with a completed system, you'd have turn-key solution, wider appeal to buyers and therefore quicker turn-around.

 

To a degree I've become a 'collector' as well, but it's not entirely by choice. There are some things in my 'collection' that were frankensteined together because of parting out sales that didn't completely liquidate. For instance I have an A8 3800 + R9 280X rig sitting in the closet next to a Xeon E5450 + GeForce 8800 GTS rig and a Athlon II X4 635 + GeForce 7950 GS rig. Artifacts of maybe a dozen different systems that were hobbled together into PCs that I give out as loaners. Basically, don't be me.

Thanks, I try my best to make my builds look good so I guess it paid off haha. I will add a 1TB hard drive to the build for good measure plus I'll re-cable manage the back of the PC, looks good on the front but I need to sort the back really. 

 

I'll post a picture here of the system with the Titan inside also.

They all sound like rigs I want to try out haha, I approve of them all

 

As for parting out, I guess I should just sell my build as a whole since it makes more sense that way, plus, I can't go wrong with a good amount of money into my bank account at once haha.

The Xeon  received a 2019 update

What motherboard that can hold an X5675 can also use DDR4? Unless you mean Xeons in general, which is a whole other story

Oh just cut a deal in a message already! Lol

[trevb0t]

@Shnitzil for reference, google:

Xeon X5675 vs ryzen 3 2200G

gtx titan black vs rtx 570

 

As an informed buyer, that should put that pricing into perspective for you.
