So, this summer I built a pretty entry level gaming setup, I overestimated how much id use it. And it's been over a week since I used to for anything. I just don't have time for games and I don't find games fun anymore

I am wondering how much my entire setup might go for. Monitors included.

 

The PC is as follows 

CPU - RYZEN 3 3300X

MOBO - Gigabyte b450m ds3h

Ram - 16gb

Storage - 2tb seagate hard drive - 500gb sony SSD - 128 GB SSD boot drive

GPU - EVGA 1070ti 8gb single blower card (bought it for 100$ so I can't really complain)

Case - cooler master n200

PSU - 2017 450W Corsair non modular bronze

 

The monitors are

AOC 144hz freesync  24 inch curved monitor I believe

Asus 24inch 120hz monitor bought it from a friend so im not sure of the exact specs on it.

 

Just asking for some advice. Do I keep it or do I sell it?

pc might go for $500-$700 if you can find somebody who doesn't konw what they're doing. Monitors could perhaps go for $200 for both, maybe $250 or so.

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

I’m lucky if I get 4 hours a week on my gaming PC, sometimes I go more than two weeks without using it. I usually can’t using it Monday-Friday due to work.

 

I too drop in and out of games and don’t have a great interest in them these days.

 

No way and I selling my PC though, it’s there when I really need it, which isn’t very often and to be without it would be worse than getting back some of the money paid for it.

 

I don’t play new games so don’t need to worry as essentially my PC is futureproof, just needs a GPU replacement if I want to move up to 1440p. If I say at 1080p it’s good enough for my current experience needs.

i5 8600 - RX 6600 - Fractal Nano S - 1080p 144Hz
