[Closed] How much to sell my old PC for?

[nickam89]

Hi there. I've just recently replaced my old custom gaming PC and am looking to sell it, but I have NO idea what to even ask for. Looking for advice. When googling I found some threads from here where people asked about theirs. I initially bought everything in 2013, so it's fairly old. The graphics is somewhat newer (2016). Here's the specs:

Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) RipjawsX DDR3-1600MHz
Motherboard: Asus Z87-K
Processor: Intel Core i5 4670k
Storage: 2TB harddrive (Western Digital)
120GB SSD (Samsung 840 EVO)
Tower: Corsair Carbide Series 300R ATX Mid Tower

Hopefully I'm not leaving out anything important - please let me know. I'm not looking to make bank, I'd just like to get whatever I can for it. Thanks!

These are US Prices so if you are in another country IDK

GPU: 60-80 bucks at most. I think 80 might be pushing it though.
RAM: really not worth, package it with your mobo and CPU
Mobo: same as above
CPU: 50-70bucks. Yes there are people asking over 100 on ebay but unless someone is desperate for that old of a CPU there are far better newer platform options for not much more.
HDD: really arent worth much, maybe 15 bucks
SDD: Same as HDD especially small ones such as yours, again 15-20 bucks
Case: kinda subjective, but there's a million used cases on the market so IMO worth nothing

You did list the power supply however generally speaking most people will pay only a few bucks for a used one, especially if its older then 5 years.

Thanks for your response. That gives me something to go off of. Would you recommend trying to sell the PC as a whole, or selling parts separately? I was leaning towards trying to sell it as a whole on Facebook marketplace or something because it has the parts needed, just needs peripherals/monitor and an OS license... but I've never sold an old PC before so I don't know what's standard. Thanks again.

Parts usually nets you more profit and sometimes can be easier since most people who are looking at old computers typical are computer people who want just the parts. You might get lucky and find someone who just wants a cheap computer to use but it seems rare as most people just go to Bestbuy, target etc and get whatever is cheap new.

I would try to sell it as a whole first for a higher price, but then if nobody wants it i would sell parts.

The GPU, ram, and CPU+mobo combo are the most valuable.

Thank you both for your advice.
