Question Fair price for a nearly 9 year old system

[lyorn79]

Hello, i have decided to buy a new computer and i cant bring myself to dispose of my old one knowing it might be worth at least something.

I am not confident enough with computers (as you will probably see from the configuration I chose all these years ago to piece meal the parts out or even take them out and I think it would be a lot less hassle to sell complete, but I don't know how to be fair about components that are all nearly 9 years old now?

Can anyone tell me what a rough fair price would be for the below

I think its best to keep the computer because it could be useful but most off stuff is out off warranty. You could try and sell the GPU and Ram and CPU and Corsair Hydro H105 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler but other parts like hardrives and PSU and case dont think people will be intrested in buying!. I keep it as 2nd computer

Hard to say, honestly. The build is old enough now that some parts can't really be counted on for reliability, such as the power supply, for sure the AIO. RAM slots are full with only 16GB...and so forth.

This was an astounding system for its time but as with everything, it is over the hill and becoming less and less relevant every day that goes by.

Might be worth considering parting it out. Check your local marketplaces for pricing on items that are moving. I like to use eBay 'sold' filter.

Thanks that's helpful, i forgot to mention it actually did have a new cooler a few months ago

Amazon.co.uk

I think i will look into dismantling it then.

I note than when I look the model of your motherboard up it is showing me pics of two variants. One of them has 8X RAM slots and the other 4X. The manufacturer site doesn't show a pic any more.

That aspect could be helpful for sale as there would be room to update more.
One of the YT personalities I like to watch is really into the X99, so there may well be a niche market for it and the CPU. Worth checking out.

Honestly, like 4- 450 if its fully cleaned up with a fresh windows install, the motherboard itself may be worth selling on its own as x99 boards are getting rarer. Personally, I would keep it, upgrades are cheap for it if you wanted to keep something on the side, or if you know of someone that needs a computer. Its still a capable 1080p medium gamer as is with a cpu that when overclocked can compete with a Core I7 9000 or Ryzen 7 2000 series. Getting it to 32GB RAM and throwing in like an RX 6600 would get it back into shape as a decent gamer, it could probably handle up to an RX 6800 or RTX 3070 TI before its heavily handicapped by that CPU. Even then, if you're gaming at 4K this system would still do fine since the GPU is doing all the heavy lifting at that point. As is its about as fast as first gen Ryzen, and at 4K 1st gen and 5th gen run about the same, which lets you know how demanding 4K still is.

Full wipe and reinstall of the OS.
Gift it to a relative or family that would not otherwise have a system.
