Is my Old MOBO CPU RAM worth anything? LGA1366

[djmoney]

Current CPU MOBO RAM combo

 

i7 950 3.06ghz LGA 1366 

MSI X58m 

Kingston 12gb (3 X 4gb) (not sure of the exact type sure its basic) 

 

I have been successful with OC to 3.6 maybe higher now that I Have an H100i V2

I am not really felling the crunch with speed or profance but really its the features.  Mobo features is really where I am felling limited.  Sata 2 only 2 usable PCIe slots no USB 3.

The machine was built originally in 2010 but everything has been replace excepted the MOBO RAM CPU.  I am sure I am not getting the performace my Samsun EVO or my GTX970 is capable of.

 

3 questions 

 

- Does anyone think my combo is worth anything to sell on say ebay or craigslist?  

 

If yes

 

- Sell it as a bundle or part out? 

 

- How much?

LGA 1366 was the X58 chipset.. to put it this way. It was essentially the X99 back in the day. Owners of a X58 board find themselves in a unique position. You can get a server Xeon from 2011 for about $80 which will give you a 70% performance upgrade if you have a decent cooler (you do). This puts the computer where it can hang with every current GPU on the market. You won't get quite as many FPS as you would with say a 6700k, but it won't be severely bottlenecking the GPU either. So... it's all up to you and your wallet. PCI-E 2.0 and Sata 2 aren't really a big issue. No USB 3.0 is kind of a bummer though.

About $40USD for the cpu, $80-$100USD for the board, and $30-$40USD for the ram.

 

Total $150 - $180USD.

I have a USB 3.0 card, but now I cant do anything else with the mobo.  If i wanted to pick up a Cheap 970 (saw some open box for less than $200 usd at my local Microcenter) then i give up USB 3.0.  

 

It just so expensive to find 1366 MOBOs I would rather just build up.  

 

Anything about the Value? Rarity? Desire?

 

Really what I am after is that I have decided to upgrade and I am trying to figure out my budget.  If I can get something out of these parts I can go with a bigger budget.

Performance wise your only real upgrades are jumping to a 6800k or a 6700k. I jumped to a 6800k from my 1366 Xeon (I already had another 4790k build). With Kaby Lake out in January that would be a nice jump. You can try to sell your barebones parts for $200-250, If you can reuse anything like case/psu then you can get a 7700k, MB, DDR4 for ~$400,$250,$150. So $500-600 out of pocket if you can flip yours. Not bad. Should be a nice upgrade, you'll just have to add a beefy GPU to the build later on, you'll have enough CPU headroom for years to come if you go that route.

Good X58 motherboards are selling on ebay around $100 to $300USD. They are popular because the 1366 Xeons OC to the moon and still kick ass today.

thanks this is what i was looking for.  I understand how to sell on ebay and how to look up prices.  I just wanted to know if there was any demand.  

 

Do you think I should sell it as a kit or part it out?  maybe MOBO and and processor then ram separate?

I would try together first. That way you can be sure it work for them in the configuration. If they want a. Eon they can just upgrade.
