Hello, recently I have found myself spending way to much time on my computer, and I feel like it is a good time to stop. I am looking to sell my entire computer (with mouse, keyboard, etc.) and need help coming up with a decent price.

My peripherals are:

Mouse: MAD CATZ R.A.T 6+ (~$60.00; less than 1 month old)

Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow x Chroma (~$120.00 at time of purchase; about a year and a half old)

Monitor: ACER standard 144hz monitor (~$200.00 at time of purchase; about a year and a half old)

 

Computer Specs (was a pre-built system, original price around $800.00):

GTX 1060 3Gb (non OC)

core i5-8400 (locked)

8 Gb RAM

128 Gb SSD

1 TB HDD (~931 Gb)

Came with CPU Cooler, Case, Fans, and a decent motherboard. The system is about a year and a half old, and has wireless capabilities (the wireless function on the computer is outstanding). Inside the case is a little dusty, but I can clean the computer before I sell it.

 

I'm just looking for an estimate on how much my system currently is worth. I would like atleast $500.00 for the build, which I believe is possible. Feel free to ask questions.

The computer still functions well, gets above 144 fps consistently on cs:Go at max settings (no motion blur)

Appreciate any feedback, insight, etc.. :)

The original price of most parts tends to be a bit irrelevant when selling them used. Your best estimate for pricing would to be look at ebay and other places where used hardware is commonly sold and seeing what your stuff would normally sell for

You can also get an estimate on how much each component will cost individually used. For example, that i 5 2800 would be costing about $20-$40 in my country.

The PC costs around 200$ at best so the peripherals would make up most of the price, I don't know why anyone would spend that much money for that kind of system, it's best to sell the peripherals separately.

Oh you corrected the CPU to an i5-8400, yeah at that point it's around 300$.

yeah, ive priced everything w/ ebay and it all adds up to about $520. Thanks for the help :) I bought a warranty with the computer which is why it costs a ton.

500$ is reasonable with the peripherals but again they make up such a large portion of the system that it would be a hard sell.
