I have a pc with a Q6600, 4 GB of DDR2 at 800 MHz, a 250 SEAGATE 7200 RPM HDD, and Windows 10.

 

I'm planning on selling it but was wondering a couple of things:

Should I put a GPU in it to bring up the value?

How much is it worth?

Would upgrading it any other way be worth it for selling?

It's not worth much, maybe $100-$150 tops as is. You could add a GPU sure, but it'd be better off being used as a NAS or Minecraft Server (or other game server) over a GPU upgrade. Or just sell it and buy moar parts for your normal PC.

I don't really know where to put this, so hopefully general will be fine.

For any feedback I'm given, thanks in advance.

 

Edit: PC is using integrated Intel 82G41 Graphics from Intel DG41RQ motherboard.

Not worth spending any money to upgrade that before selling.

Probably 75-100 as it stands.

If you have another better PC:

Sell it. I sold a PC with a Athalon x64 4200+, 2 GBs of RAM and a 3450 for $70 so I think if you just throw in some either cheap GPU like a GT 1030 or just some old shit you have laying around and if you can throw in a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Call it gaming and say it can run CS:GO (don't say that it runs it on 800x600 on lowest sttings in 20 fps.)....

If you DONT have another PC:

Buy a second hand GPU (like a 750 Ti), 8 GB of RAM and maybe a new 775 mobo that runs DDR3, also you might need a new PSU.
