Mid-range 2012 Gaming PC Rebuild

LloydLynx

I've had this prebuilt Cybertron for a few years now. Been a great tinkering PC, but now I need to sell it(and lots of my other stuff too). 

 

It came to me in typical prebuild fasion; single exhaust, terrible BIOS settings, very noisy, bad cable management. I wish I had photos of it before I started changing things. This afternoon, I figured I'd rebuild it, clean it out, repaste CPU and GPU, and just generally bring it up to the best of my PC building skills so it's ready to sell. I learned that cable management is an art... and I unironically love it!

 

Specs:

AMD FX-4300 OCed to 4.2Ghz

MSI 760GMA-P34(FX)

8Gb 1866MT/s single Ballistix

Radeon HD 7790 1Gb

1TB 7200 RPM WD Black

PSU Cybertron 600W

2x 120mm intake, 1x 120 exhaust, 140mm PSU exhaust

Flawless Linux compatibility

 

You can see what kind of performance it gets in the last picture. Fans never ramp up under a gaming load. Not a very quiet PC, but far from a jet engine.

I'd also like your opinions on how much I should sell this PC for. Going on craigslist in Minnesota USA. 

Even if it doesn't sell for much, it was still worth it because of how much fun I had.

Honestly it's a hard sell tbh. Not sure who would want to buy the pc when there are alot of cheap systems that have better performance. I would probably look at local listings and see what is out there and what they are selling at to get a feel of what people are paying for certain performance levels.
