Build Sell Price

Country: USA (Pacific NW specifically)

Specs: Ryzen 5 2600, MSI B450 motherboard, 16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200MHz Ram, Antec 550W Gold PSU, Radeon RX 570 8gb GPU.

 

I have the above build, and am wondering whether it would be worth it to either buy a new case and SSD and rebuild the system and sell, or to sell this in parts. I also am unaware of what this build may be able to sell for on the secondhand market. It was my gaming rig for the past few years, but I have slowly upgraded everything to where I now effectively have 2 computers.

You need to look at your local market, and decide according to what you think will get you more money.

 

Why would you need to buy a new case?

I checked my local area, and did not see any comparable systems. Everyone around here is selling either super old systems, refurbished office desktops, or super high end systems.

The case I have is missing just about all the hardware needed for install, specifically the motherboard standoffs and PSU bracket. It's a Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L.

Right, but you can see what's out there, and price according to that. It doesn't have to be an identical system. Price for more than you think it's worth, if you don't get any interest in the time you want, lower it a bit and try again.

 

I'd only buy a case if you can find a super cheap one. It's not really worth spending a lot of money on something like this.
