Selling Dated Parts

[Yehomilk]

Hello. 3 years ago I bought a Lenovo thinkcentre m73 mini tower pre-built pc. I've been upgrading it since, but now I'm wanting a new cpu, which would need a new case, motherboard, and ram. That would, however, require hundreds while I only have $200. What I'm asking is can I still get anything significant for the system? I still have all the original parts for it, but I'm hoping to get something for the cpu. What would an Intel i5 4570 be worth today? Or maybe the whole system? Thanks in advance!

i5 4570 are worth like 70$

why not just buy an i7 it should be plenty upto a 1080

An i7 is expensive. I was going to get an i5 8400. I'm really not sure what you meant...

3 years pc is still good.

why not spend for a new gpu, ssd or add more memory.

you won't get drastically better performance by getting new cpu.

 

From what i see in the specifications it has poor gpu.

with $200 you can get a gtx1050ti that will boost your gaming to the next level.

I have been upgrading it and currently have 16 gb of ram and a GTX 1060 3gb.

[SupaKomputa]

ssd already?

An i5 8400 will be good, but you need DDR4 ram.

[SupaKomputa]

8400 + new mobo + ddr4 will cost more than 400.

its better to buy used 4th gen i7.

I feel like you guys are missing the point a bit, I wanted to know how much I can get for the computer without the graphics card. I have worked out the final pricing of the upgrade already and I'm hoping to fill the gap between my budget and the cost with this computer.
