What is this Worth?

[Sreno]

It’s been upgraded multiple times and is currently equipped with the following.

 

i5-6600k (oc 4.6)

Dark Rock Pro 3

Giagbyte Z170-XP-SLI mobo

16gb 2133mhz ram

MSI Gaming X 1060 (6gb)

Corsair 460x with 5 RGB fans

Corsair 500w PSU

1 TB HDD

128 SSD (OS)

Wifi USB

 

Now what I’m wondering is what you think this could asking price for as a package, or if it could be better to part out.

Sell it as a whole

if you but those parts new, its about 1200 USD. 

 

the more use it has gone through, the cheaper it should become. 

I would not reasonably pay more than 900 for this pc in excellent condition.

Sell the CPU, GPU and Motherboard, everything else can be transfered to a new pc.

Sell the whole thing would be cheaper than in parts.

 

Get ryzen 3000...

I should have mentioned I am to get a laptop for school.

what those parts cost new is meaningless, in the 3ish years since that CPU came to market we have seen major advancements in CPU's with faster and higher core count parts coming out for cheaper. you can't price old hardware based on what it cost when new.

 

@Sreno you'd probably make more parting it out, but it would take longer to sell that way

 

i5-6600k (oc 4.6)  sells for 100-150 USD used on Ebay

Dark Rock Pro 3 sells for 40-50 USD used on Ebay

Giagbyte Z170-XP-SLI mobo sells for 60-80 USD used on Ebay

16gb 2133mhz ram Not enough detail, say about $50 given recent price drops on RAM

MSI Gaming X 1060 (6gb) sells for 140 USD used on Ebay

Corsair 460x with 5 RGB fans sells for 85 USD used on Ebay

Corsair 500w PSU Not enough detail, to much variation in PSU quality to give a value here

1 TB HDD $20-30 used tops

128 SSD (OS) $10-15 used tops

Wifi USB $0 as part of the overall system being sold together $10-15 by itself if it's a really nice one

 

based on the used market parts value i'd say in the 600-700 price range for the parts value, the problem is the market, I can go to Microcenter and get a Ryzen 5 1600 with 50% more cores and its also got SMT (hyperthreading on Intel) to the point i've got 3 times the number of total threads available for $80 and spend about the same on a MOBO and wouldn't need a cooler as the 1600 comes with one and BAM i'm already cheaper then your CPU/MOBO/Cooler is worth and i'm getting brand new parts, not used ones, so you gotta get even more aggressive with your pricing as a whole system (which is why parting it out on ebay makes you more, people overpay for these Intel CPU's compared to what you can buy today) as a whole system you gotta be at like $500 for me to even consider haggling with you.

Thanks for the detailed response. I honestly stopped keeping up with what is new after my last few upgrades. 

 

$500 for me would be my bare minimum. Its performance is worth that alone, not to mention looks/assembly.

yeah but like I said you have to keep in mind what you are competing against in the new market which is why I brought up the Ryzen 5 1600 if a NEW part comes in cheaper and gives similar in game performance then is your used part really worth as much or more? This is why I say the system is worth less then the sum of the parts, because people are overpaying for what the CPU is worth right now on Ebay. You need to be able to incentivize the buyer to buy your stuff over the other parts out there, so it comes down to how far you are from the Detroit Area Microcenter and whether your buyers are willing to drive that far to get new over your used parts.
