How much is this worth?

[Stockfish 16]

I've recently been think about selling one of my computers but I don't know what a suitable price would be.

All parts were bought from amazon and I reside in the UK:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600g

GPU: Nvidia RTX 3050

Motherboard: GIGABYTE A520M S2H

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 3200MHz

Storage: WD Black SN770 1TB

Case: Corsair Spec-Delta Carbide Series RGB

PSU: Justop CIT 80+ 500W

[PDifolco]

With price of parts maybe £500, but this PC isn't good value, weak CPU weak GPU meh case and crap PSU...

that's a quite good SSD

 

here's pcpartpicker's estimate, but of course, you'd have to reduce price because you are selling a used PC:

Bought it as a 350 pc and bought the GPU for like 150

I want to make a profit because I'm trying to build a better pc.

Surely people on facebook market place wouldn't think twice

There isn't much profit to be made on flipping computers unless you get a hell of a deal, but if you want to stretch your morals a little you can find a sheep to fleece.

 

You basically paid the standard used price for a PC, so not much room to make money.

Depends entirely on what you’re doing in terms of selling it, and what kind of price margins you can manage. 
People aren’t going to magically pay more for a system off of pure spec value if there isn’t something else convincing them there’s more value in play.

Component choices are not really a pure seller of a complete pc, anyone who knows exactly what they’re looking at will just buy parts and diy.

 

So you gotta give the impression of it being a lot more desirable of an option versus other choices within the same price range for the same core specs.

 

Its why you see mediocre gaming PCs on Amazon listed like “i7, rgb, 16gb, 8gb GPU, 1tb ssd” and it’s like an i7 2600 office pc with an RX 580, 1tb sata ssd and some rgb fans.

Because the people buying it don’t know or care, they want the core specs and a low price.

 

But there is a market for people looking for more high end machines in terms of aesthetics, they also don’t know about the specs beyond the basic naming, i7, gigabytes, etc. They’ll pay more for systems which look good, they look like those fancy builds they see on Reddit.

Thats where color coordination, lighting, cable extensions, and all that stuff comes into play.

 

So you’re in a bad spot where you have a system which isn’t going to be easy to sell to that market because it doesn’t look good, and the core spec involves “ryzen 5”, which doesn’t matter much to us but it doesn’t say “i7” on it so a whole lot of people will scroll right past it.

 

Get your money back out of the system and do some research into how that kind of resale works before trying to flip systems.

that's about 30 pounds more, but you're still selling a used PC,

you may never know, the choice is yours, if you wanna deal with seperate selling you could do that too, for example selling CPU/RAM/MB combo, GPU alone, SSD alone, and most importantly Case alone with maybe the PSU along with it, because apparently it's an expensive case unless you can find it cheap brand new than it is in my list, and PSU along with Case/GPU because it's questionable quality due to having no efficiency certification, and lacking any details in specs on it's official website, where even the zoom on the power design is upside down for some reason, I wouldn't bet much selling the PSU alone, though you could try it

 

and again, you can try selling the whole PC, it won't really hurt or anything, if people ignore/not take your deal than they won't

 

I'd say you could drop it like maybe by the very least 100 pounds if you're really going for people that are not generally knowladged about PCs, otherwise you might have to drop your price further,

 

or you could just leave it like 100 pounds less, and see if someone wants to make a deal with you, by making you drop the price slightly more, at least that way the person making the deal can feel good about offering a better deal for them and getting through with it...

o for a cheap build

Yeah but how can I get my money back out of this, I bought most of these parts over a year ago for a cheap build that ran games at minimum fps and could do my school work. The gpu was just a newer addition from my other pc which I upgraded so I'm at a tough spot right now

Idk bro its tricky for me especially because I don't know what I'd 100% do after

like I said in the comment above yours, it depends, there's a chance you'll find a buyer, and the PC itself isn't that much terrible, it's faster than 3600 CPU and has rtx 30 series GPU, which the PSU can actually handle, see it's requirement:

 

it slightly comes down for being reasonable though, if the person isn't completely stupid and can somehow build a better PC with your specs, they'd rather do that,

 

for example, most people on budget don't care about case, so the whole estimate from new parts could be totally bad starting point, since the case costs 170 pounds,

 

the person could simply just buy a 170 pounds cheaper PC and run it inside a 0 pound PC they found next to garbage or got somewhere for really cheap

what do you mean by that? is profit more important or not having useless PC parts in your house/garage/somewhere?

 

because even if it's the latter, you could try for a little bit of profit if you don't mind that it might not sell right away, though I'd check my comment above once again, as the pricing is tricky with how the case is..

How much do you think I could get if I sold parts separately compared to selling the pc as a whole?

I still have a pc but in a different location so its just not having a pc at one location would be quite a hit at certain times when I need it. I could manage without my pc but it would be a bit harder

you're still using the PC you want to sell? or is it like at a certain place, because you mentioned having multiple,

 

by the way this is how a better build with better PSU, slightly better CPU and one of the cheapest cases would cost approx:

I feel like I'm just getting ahead of myself here. I could last a while without a functioning pc but it wouldn't be ideal after a while

[OddOod]

I'd say list at 325GBP, take 250 if offered. 200 for a friend .
But that PSU isn't even on the tier list, big sus.

That's the neat part, you don't.

 

PCs don't market that way unfortunately, parts don't hold their value. Once they're used and even as low as 6 months old, especially with the cheap budget stuff, you're never going to get your full money back. Let alone make a profit, lol.
