I'm looking to sell my custom built PC, but I'm not sure what it's worth now. I built it around 5 years ago, and I just don't use it that much anymore. Below are the specs:

Motherboard: MSI MS-7623
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 555 3.2 Ghz
RAM: 8 GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 4890 1 GB RAM
128 GB SSD with a 2 TB HDD

I'm really not sure what to value this at. Everything works, case is nice, and it runs cool. I'm thinking $200-$300. What do you think its worth?

use pcpartpicker.com

granted that will give you a price of new parts but it will give you an idea of what your pc would cost new.

if someone gonna pay you 200-300$ definitely, it's not bad, GPU and other stuff are good, but the thing is old...you have the 2TB HDD and SSD, so someone may buy it not to use it, but to take the parts. For a 2tb HDD, 128Gb SSD, good case, and good cooler, 200$ is definitely good deal.

But is better if you buy a new one, and just use your SSD, HDD, other parts like fans, cooler or case you may have, so you don't have to buy them.

I agree it would be a better option to keep thkose parts for a new pc, but he says he don't use it, so he probably doesn't want a nejw one.

In my opinion you can easily sell it for 200+, even 300 is a good deal.

$200-300 sounds about right.

I'd try and sell it for around $280, then assuming people will bid around $250. You'd be lucky to sell it at more than that.

Yeah try to sell it at around $300 and be willing to settle for $250. If you don't really need the money maybe consider giving to family or friends that are in need of a decent computer.

Your motherboard is heavily outdated, will not support ANY new CPU(So even using this for new parts would junk)
AMD Phenom II X2 555 3.2 (Garbage as well will bottleneck any new GPU, meaning this won't support any high end GPU's from the past 2ish years)
8GB RAM - I'll just guess and say its DDR3-1333, which is still viable, so these have some value ($50)
AMD Radeon HD 4890, Once again outdated, at most I'd give this $20 value
128GB SSD- This could still be worth some money, depending on how many times you defragged it, it can run as perfectly new. $90~ if mint condition.
2TB HDD- No new changes in HDD's for the past couple of years, aside from size. Still worth $80ish

Overall, its a great deal, sell it to the guy and run, if you can try to take out your SSD and then sell it to him. Guy is obviously an amateur.
Went to go check prices for a HD4890 USED, the guy below me was right its about $40....GG worth slightly more then I thought. Though, personally I wouldn't buy a GPU thats been used for 5ish years....
$20 difference == Spouting Crap
GG #PCMASTERRACE is to intensive.

Not to be too offensive, but you're spouting crap.

Phenom II, clock for clock, still matches up with everything AMD has outside of Kaveri/Steamroller. His particular model is OC friendly and has the potential to have two more cores unlocked. It's not great anymore but it's far from garbage.

Have you taken a look at RAM prices lately?
HD4890 is ~HD7750 in terms of performance. Easily worth $40 or more.
Well did you get the SSD/HDD prices somewhat close. A used 128GB SSD will not fetch $90 however. And nobody is defragging SSDs...

For ~$200-250, with an SSD, it's a great system that'll handle anything except demanding games.

Actually the processor will most likely bottleneck the performance. I have a similair one(x2 550 BE) and for example witcher 2 ran like shit when I first played it with a 4870. Than I unlocked the 2 cores and I could run it on ultra with decent framerates.

So to OP: If you can unlock the hidden cores it could bump up the price and the performance of the processor.

Stop judging your PC by his parts! They don't have to measure themselves by your artificial social standarts! #AllPCsAreBeatiful #StopOpression
