[xMoodyz]

hey guys , im thinking about selling my custom built gaming PC and would just like to know what price bracket it falls into
i have
AMD athalon 64 X2 dual core processor 4800+ - 2.50GHz (speed)
NVIDEA Geforce 9600 GT graphics card with 1904 approx memory (also 3d compatible)
4GB of RAM

Well let's see:
Athalon 64 X2 4800+: $52
NVIDEA Geforce 9600 GT w/ 2gb: $200
(I assume) 2x2gb DDR2 ram: $43
Windows 7 Ultimate full: $220
~700GB Sata HDD: $71
Not sure what a dvdr port is: $0
Generic motherboard: $30
Generic 250W PSU: $10
Generic case: $17

I'd post it for $650. The specific motherboard, Power supply, and case may increase the initial asking price.

The only thing of value is Windows.
$300 is pushing it for that system.

Most I would pay for that is 300-350$ because of it being a duo core and a older card, I would sell it around $300-350usd

both of you are telling me drasticly different things :s hahaa

Well I wouldn't sell it for 650 because I could make a way better system for around that price and have it setup with a qaud core and a newer bit stronger video card and psu with higher wattage.I say go around $300-350$,pretty much the range of a used pc with that spec that I would say it's worth,you can't sell it like it's new like when the parts first came out.

damn i was expecting a bit more , can anyone recommend a good system to replace this one then? needs to be a good price aswell , thanks

What's your budget limit,also is it in usd or cad or euros ?

 

[xMoodyz]

£300-400

A good replacement would be an i5 processor, Asus mobo, Antec psu, 6950 video card, 8gb ram, 1tb drive, keep your windows if it is a retail version, and a case of your preference.
Cost about $650 or so USD if you keep your windows.

Sorry I was just looking at amazon's used prices. It's pretty much how much it would cost to rebuild your system with nearly identical parts. Sucks that it's practically double
