How much is my build Worth? What do I do with my build? Sell? Upgrade?

[Pabst]

Hi everyone, I have been lurking toms hardware for some time now and decided to make my first post.
1) First thing I want to know is how much I should sell my build for if I where to do so now.
2) Should I sell my current build or upgrade?
3) If I were to upgrade what need to be my first step? (As in what needs the upgrade first)

This is mostly for gaming and I mostly play high demanding games, my most recent are DayZ, Rust, Civ 5

Thank you to anyone who is willing to help me out.

I wouldn't expect much. Maybe a couple hundred.

To be completely honest, the only 2 decent things in your build (for current standards) are the OS and the Processor. Granted, it will play games on low/med, I wouldn't expect much more as games become more and more demanding.

I'd likely go with a new build.

To be honest, this is a $300 computer at best if you sell it as a whole depending on which GPU that is.

You could get more for it if you part it out.

Depending on if your motherboard is revision 3.1 or not, you can update the BIOS and use a new FX series CPU. If it is 1.x revision, you cannot upgrade the CPU which is getting long in the tooth for high end gaming.

The GPU will need to be upgraded as well.

Yeah, you are ripping them off big time.
