PC Appraisal

Vegetable · June 27, 2015

I doubt this is the correct section for it, but I have two PC's I need appraised to the best of your abilities. Before I begin, I live in Nashville, so my currency will obviously be USD. I will be using Craigslist to sell them, I have nowhere else that's popular enough to do so. I would say check out the Nashville's Craigslist, so you get an idea of what's around for sale (mostly garbage.)

Now on to the systems. I am a CLEAN FREAK when it comes to my PC's. If it's my primary rig, it's polished and dusted every 2 months. Both of these are now in the parts cabinet, but they were cleaned up before storage.

First/lower end one: Custom Parts Dell Vostro 400

Current specs:

- C2D e6850 3ghz

- 8gb Kingston Low Profile 800mhz ddr2

- Stock terrible foxconn motherboard

- Stock Dell Vostro 400 Case

- ASUS GT 440 1gb Gddr5

- OEM 300w PSU (I usually push my PSU's to the limit and get the lowest safe wattage, so I left the stock one in there)

- 120gb WD Black

- Activated Windows 7 Home premium + Microsoft office 2013 both activated with COA's

It's not too fast by today's standards, but to a non-gamer, it's snappy to say the least. Better than the $100 p4 pc's on my local Craigslist.

Second/higher end one: My old gaming rig

- C2Q q6600 OC'd 3ghz + Antec Performance Max Blue LED CPU Cooler

- 8gb Corsair Valueselect ddr3 1333mhz (OC)

- ASUS P5G41T-M LX Plus

- Really sketchy unlabeled case BUT has 4x120mm and 1x200mm red LED fans with an LED controller button on top of case and insane airflow

- BFG Tech Gtx 260 216 edition (heavily overclocked with replaced thermal paste for excellent temps)

- Corsair TX850W 80PLUS PSU (overkill, was a gift, won't complain)

- 750gb Seagate 7200 RPM

- Activated Windows 8.1 64 bit + Microsoft office 2013 both activated with COA's

It ran anything I wanted, albeit terribly. DayZ was a minimum settings 20 fps game. BF4 refused to have 30fps no matter what I did. MOBA's ran fine as they did on the Vostro as well. This whole system cost me $150, I got that much fun out of it.

I just need to know what you think someone would pay. The second one is a looker to a newbie in the PC world. They will see 5 LED fans and this massive GPU and go "Ooh shiny." On the other hand, the Vostro looks like an office pc, and unless some random mom knows how to read CPUz/GPUz they won't give two shits about what's in it. All input is appreciated.
