What do i do with an I5-4570?

I plan on upgrading to an i7 7700k and an ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero. Im not sure what to do with the spare mobo (only real problem with it is it has a few usb ports that died [thanks razer])( MSI Z87-G41 ), Ram (8gb) and the I5-4570. Nothing wrong with the processer for the most part (just not up to my needs). What do i do with it? Is it even worth selling as a combo? If it is worth selling it what should i sell it for (CAD)? Was thinking around 175).

You could sell the 4570 + RAM + Motherboard combo to someone.... I'm sure somebody would be happy with it for the right price.

 

Also, I think you should upgrade to 16GB while you're at it with buying new ram.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Thats the plan to start then to go with 32 (another kit of the same) at a later date. I know its excessive but its more for when i have to host things that needs a fair abit of ram.

lol. I wouldn't call 32 excessive. That's good planning :).

 

I'd call 64 or 128 excessive xD.
