Desktop Worth.

[Mohenjo]

My friend is curious how much its worth. He says around 500.

The specs 

i7 930 

Generic Hp motherboard (pegatron branded)

16gb ram Crucial 1333mhz 

Evga 750 ti 2gb

some generic Hp case 

Generic 430w psu 

1tb hard drive 

[ELSknutson]

I wouldn't pay more then $400 does it come with an os?

[EarthboundHero]

Probably 300-400

250-300ish. If it had a better GPU, case, mobo, and PSU it'd be more.

He could sell that for a pretty price definitely 500 or more

[Mohenjo]

Yes (750ti is almost new)

[dadasmithywinkle]

Yes (750ti is almost new)

OS as in Operating System, not GPU.

[manikyath]

i'd pay 500 for it, then again, prices are generally higher in europe, especially at this performance range.

You can do better for 550

 

I would do 350-400 for this

The generic crap is really going to turn them away. I really wouldn't give more than $350-400 for that.

i understand i said that wrong i meant YES OS but also the gpu is new

[dizmo]

While it's not worth a great deal to people like us, throw it on Craigslist, say it has an i7, GTX graphics card, can play high quality games and you'll likely get $500 pretty easily.

Don't market to enthusiasts. You won't get much.

[Sauron]

It's definitely not worth 500$, depending on how well kept it is it might be worth anywhere between 250 and 350$.

[dadasmithywinkle]

$50 for used i7-930

$100ish for used 750ti

$110ish for 16GB 1333 Ram

$35ish for 1TB HDD

 

So about $300 for the main components and that's piece by piece which costs more

 

So around $300 - $350 for everything. 

[Dabombinable]

I'd say about $500+, its still going to kick the crap out of any pre-built at that price, and even ones more expensive.

[Scouten]

i would pay 300 for that cpu alone.

 

all hail the venerable 1366!!!

You'll pay 300? Ok, gimme a few days to gather a bunch of them and I'll let you know when I'm ready to sell

Can't really rate it like that. If someone's buying a used complete, chances are they're not willing to build their own.

That holds value.

The rest of the pieces (case, OS, motherboard, etc) all hold value as well.

That's true, yeah, but those who are picking up a computer like this will want flashier stuff, which isnt what a generic HP case provides. If it were thrown into a NZXT Source 210, for say, it may have a better chance of selling.

time to build my network of rendering pcs!!!

 

okay maybe i wouldn't drop 300 but i would feel bad giving someone less than 150 for it they are really fun to work with after all

gotta be honest its not much better than say a fx 4300 lol

[Kyuubixchidori]

ask 700 for it. all you guys are stating what youd be willing to pay, not what its actually worth.

 

I have a 

I5-3570k @ 4.4ghz cooled with a hyper 212

8 gigs of ram

crossfire 7950s

750 watt evga power supply

s340 case

250 gig ssd

Think thats everything. Lined up a buyer for 1300. 

[The Dragon]

You can do better for 550

 

I would do 350-400 for this

Yeah you can but I'm sure he could probably get 500 for it

Jesus. How when and where? I could barely get $1600 for my X99 rig.

my best friend actually. hes 16 and paying all himself, he does video work and needs something that will render faster then his macbook pro. and its actually a 7950 and a 7970, so its a hella lot of openGL power. 

 

Its impressive because hes self made, all the money is coming from his video work. It will be another 2 months before he buys it, but hes locked in and put down a deposit. 

 

all I have to say is though, focus on the postives. I point out that it was 700$ worth of just gpus 6 months ago. and that fact that I can play any game maxed out at 60 fps, with just using one card doesnt hurt either. even though I paid 200$ combined for both cards. 

 

all in all, I have 900ish into the system. so its kinda a steal, but he needs something already built. and you cant touch that perfomance with any prebuilt. so in his mind hes saving a lot of money. that and it looks all sexy because its in a s340, and that case has amazing cable managment.
