Selling Old PC - Price opinions?

Hey all, I'm looking to sell my old PC and upgrade to a dual Xeon setup, just wondering what I should sell it for.  Graphics card is not one I use, just got it from a friend to sell or trade.

  

Here's the specs:

CPU: AMD FX-8120

Mobo: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P

RAM: 16GB 4x4GB G.Skill 1866MHz DDR3

GPU: Asus Radeon R9 280X

PSU: Antec Earthwatts 500W

Case: Thermaltake V3 Black Edition (Modded, so price will reflect that)

Cooler: SilenX EFZ-92HA3 (I think, pretty sure that's the right one, and may not sell.)

Other:  Optical drive, SD card bay, probably only 3 120mm fans, I think I'd like to keep my Corsair ones.

 

Going by eBay it's looking like around $465CAD total.

 

Thanks all!

well do you want to sell it or do you want to watch it sit for sale forever.

figure out what it's worth , then drop it by 100$ so somebody actually buys it

I'm assuming you're selling locally. If so, eBay prices tend to be on the optimistic side. Here's what I'd value it at, part by part. All USD

 

CPU: $40

Mobo: $25 (970 chipsets are no bueno)

RAM: $40

GPU: $60

PSU: junk

Case: junk

Cooler: Price-wise? Junk. But that cooler has sentimental value to me so I'll give it $10

ODD: junk

SD card bay: junk

120mm fans: what brand?

 

If you're selling the whole thing as one locally, it's clean inside and out and comes with a decent storage drive (>500GB), I'd list it for $250 USD and try to get $220 out of it, no lower than $200. If you're parting it out for eBay, take the CPU price to $45 USD, the mobo price to $35 USD and that's about it.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

A SilenX Red LED, two black Cooler Masters, and potentially a black Antec 3 Speed.

Eh, nothing that really adds any value or carries any value separately.
