What would you pay for this computer?

[Necrodead]

I'm looking at a PC for sale in my area and although I don't really need another computer, I like having an extra one around. However I have no experience with the 2500k and z68 motherboard in this comp, as in, will it play games well if I upgrade the GPU, or is the 2500k old enough it might bottleneck something like an r9 290 or 970? I also don't know what the current value would be of the cpu/mobo although I have a pretty good idea of everything else. Thanks.

If your never going to use it, its worth nothing.

Roughly 400~550

 

you're better off parting this out (CPU and MB as bundled)

Don't need dosen't mean won't use. It would probably be server storage and secondary gaming PC for my TV.

$500 is the most I would pay for that. It is a nice computer but the gpu is dated and it does not have a legit copy of windows.

 

I personal always search craigslist for deals and know there will be a lot better deals if you are patient.

Parting out always reaps more benefits than bundling.

well what are they asking for it?

asking is 700CAD, I just have no idea how well the 2500k performs.

Clock for clock it's 85-90% of haswell, so pretty damn good with a overclock.

Offer him 550$ and say you don't have the money for 700$, if he turns you down message him back 2 days later saying you got a little bit more cash, then ask if he's willing to negotiate, try to talk him down to 600-640$.
