What is this worth?

Guest

Hi.  Now that I use my computer for work more than games, I feel the need that I should buy a laptop. A mac specifically.   I need $949 and I am planning to sell my pc. specs are, core i5 4690k, evga sc reference gtx 780 ti, asrock z97 extreme4, corsair 300r, evga 600b, crucial ballsitix tactical tracer blue, and wb blue 1tb.   nothing has been overclocked (if that depreciates any value) and everything is in pristine cosmetic condition. oh and i forgot to mention that the gpu has half a year left (if that matters).  will i reach my price target? will it be better to sell the whole pc at once or by individual parts. thanks!

Have you considered down sizing and hackintoshing it?

 

Also I'd go with a now mac laptop, get a gaming laptop that is known for it's hackintosh support and dual boot windows and OSX that way you can still game if you want.

Go to eBay and look at the sold prices of all of the components and add them up. That's roughly what your PC is worth. If you want to sell online, sell individual components. In person, sell the whole PC.

what kind of work are you going to use for it? AFAIK most companies should be the ones providing the equipment some require you to order it from supplies.

If you sell on eBay it'd take about a week or less, in person it's impossible to tell.

if you don't play then why the hell do you have that high tier gaming pc in the first place?

 

I think you can get off with a better option rather than a macbook

should i sell motherboard + cpu + ram? my ram is kinda rare and it might be hard to sell

 

How old is the system?

What do you mean by "half a year left"? Warranty?

Idunno man.. I'd say 750-800 depending on the age. Might stretch to 850 if the pc is relatively new.

yeah warranty
