Used parts value

[andreajl]

Hello everyone.

I found a Q9650 + Asus P5Q Deluxe + 8GB of Corsair XMS DDR2 memory used bundle for 190 eur (220 usd).

I'm not really up to speed with this generation of cpus. 

Is this a good value or i could get the same performance within the same budget with new parts?

 

The system will be doing light work, netflix, some web developing, eventually gaming when i can afford a good card (would be getting a cheap one to go with this bundle).

 

Thanks, Andrea.

Dosen't really seem like a good deal to me, do you see any other similar deals?

Thats a terrible deal, this should be around $140 max imo. For used part, search more.
You can easily get CPU+MOBO+RAM  ( i5- 2500, Intel mobo, DDR3 Ram 4GB ) under $180.

mostly high end or low end cpus on my trusted online marketplace, this seemed like a nice balance

i know, i remember drooling over that board a few years back when i was building my first custom system

 

i can't find many comparisons, i'm quite sure that i can fit a X4 860K + good board + 8 gigs of ram within the 190 eur range (cpu is 80, 110 for the rest)

but i was wondering if that cpu had some good potential to push higher performance for the price.

i can get the i3 for 120 eur + the board for 70 and the ram for about 38 so that's 228 or 260 USD.

i can do that, still wondering about cpu potential (i recall it was a very high end chip)

6100 or i5 2400 would smash the q9650, it's high end, but it's 8 years old.

Yea im using Q9400, its kinda old for everything atleast for me, thats why i suggested him to go with i5.  

[Bananasplit_00]

i can get that, well almost that the deal im looking at has only 4GB of RAM but basically that for $50 so i would say its a total crap deal

[andreajl]

ok, thanks everybody.

i will keep a look out for more used parts and keep posting here so, if you can spare some time, you can keep helping me out.

 

thanks!

Hello again. I've been thinking about this and i come up with a different solution.

I was waiting for my bonus in July to assemble a new system but some work came up that requires me to have a desktop ready (i've being going with only a surface 3 base model since october, going crazy).

So my first idea was to get something togheter from used parts.

 

On second thought, i think i'll assemble a new system so that i can sell it right after i get an actual performance build in the summer.

 

I've come up with the following

BitFenix Nova  - 38 eur

Enermax Naxn 450w -43 eur

Asus H110m-k -61 eur

Pentium G4440 -65 eur

Stick of 8GB DDR4 2133 -37 eur

Sandisk Z400s 256GB -62 eur

 

I have a scythe mugen 4 pcgh heatsink and i was thinking of leaving it passive on top of the pentium and installing the 2 slipstream 120mm 800rpm fans in the front of the case... or would it be too much heat to dissipate passively?

 

So, i would appreciate your thought! Thanks

 

Sorry, total for the build is 306 euro (350 usd) and i still have to fit a monitor within 450 eur max (what i can spend right now).
