High Quality Gaming PC ONLY $1,000

1k bud?

I can build a quad for about 500. lower your price, and you may get some takers.

 

[scippy4848]

what is wrong with you people. It's a duh that the processor and everything is either outdated, mid-range, or just barely in high-end category. That's not even worth 1k new, not to mention used. Why are u even arguing with this guy? He doesn't care, he's clearly either a liar who just wants a sucker, or in denial.

Given your speaker placement IMHO you would have been better served (better sound quality at a lower cost) using a 2.1 or 2.0 speaker system.
Having multiple speakers in such close proximity voids any benefit of >2 speaker systems.

if you're selling the lisence to your OS ill buy the tower for 450$ shipped

if you want ill throw in 100$ for the monitor, you can keep everything else

I know for a fact that the 6000+ has poor gaming performance. This is my data from a variety of tests.

Intel rig: E6850, Gigabyte P35 DS3L
Amd rig: 6000+, Gigabyte M57SLI-S4

It's not an apples to apples comparison, but close enough.

3DMark06:
Intel E6850 --- 3.0Ghz --- 2Gb --- 8800GTS 512 --- 7,200 ---12,528
AMD 6000+ --- 3.0Ghz --- 2Gb --- 9800GTX 1024 --- 10,000 --- 6,612

Lightsmark07 - 1280x1024:
Intel E6850 447.2 fps, AMD 6000+ 199.1 fps
- 1680x1050
Intel E6850 380.1 fps, AMD 6000+ 186.9 fps
From AMD to Intel rig = +95% increased fps

Crysis Benchmark Tool - High Spec, 1680x1050
- GPU Test
Intel - 32.89 avg fps, AMD - 21.95 avg fps
- CPU Test
Intel - 30.71 avg fps, AMD - 22.02 avg fps
From AMD rig to Intel rig = +50% increased fps

Comparing a 9800gt/gtx to a 4870? + 2 gigs of ram?

Dude, i understand you want a return on your investment, but your set up isn't even worth 700. Know your market, do a little research on retail and OEM prices. No one's going to pay full retail price for a used system, especially with outdated equipment. I'd rather not pick apart your whole system, so here's an example. Newegg has the x-540 speakers for 88.99 w/10.00 shipping. Best buy has them listed at 109.99. The hard drive is worth 30 at best. Just thought i'd throw in my 2c.

The hardware/price for the hardware - despite dusty condition - is well worth 1k, why? because it just was then.

 

[jesman1985]

try craigslist..

 

[tharkis842]

No, it isn't. You don't seem to understand the difference between new hardware and used. I was interested in some of the parts, but not at those ridiculous prices. Good luck selling your over priced system.

 

[Spiderm0n]

Any luck selling the used $1k dual core rig?

 

[jamesa7755]

my current project : $1091

i7 920
asus p6t deluxe
ocz 12gb ddr3-1333 platinum
sapphire 2gb gddr5 hd4870
300gb velociraptor
580w sigma shark psu (newegg shell shocker)
xclio case (craigslist)

all other parts newegg or ebay w\ 8% bing cashback + ebay bucks. so after i get my cashback it will be around $950 or so.

Sir,

Please forward me the links of the components for said price. I want to buy them with a quickness. Mostly the 12gb of ocz plt.

235
235
400
279

70- Also don't know the shell shock price.
100- Speculation though I wouldn't buy a *** case to put my new rig in.

1578>1091

Thanks M8

 

[jamesa7755]

Also Jesse your prices ARE high. You should try Ebay or Craigslist. Maybe just keep it if you feel the components are worth that much. If you decide to come down I am interested in the speakers.

 

[jesman1985]

honestly if your selling everything you showed in the picture with the monitor, rig, keyboard, mouse, speakers.. its worth a grand.. BUT... and i mean BUT... your on toms hardware.. NOBODY is going to critique your rig anywhere more harshly than TH.. people know there hardware here.. if it was 800 it'd go really fast.. 1000.. ehhh.. not so much.. thats cause the majority of ppl here dont need the monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse ect.. on craigslist somebody might not have any of that.. and would probably pay 1000.. but this site is for computer enthusiast.. of course theyll have other pc components..

 

[volks1470]

hey, you guys can just spend $800 more and get my computer which would be "worth" $2500+ for $1800! Feel free to check it out here 😉
