How much is my PC worth?

[cgplays]

I am selling my old PC, to get parts for a new one. I just need to know how much someone would pay for it (In AUD).

Specs:

CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black Edition
GPU: ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 950
MoBo: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 Snow Edition
I don’t remember the other parts such as the PSU, or the ram, simply because I built this rig a few years ago.

its gonna get u 700 bucks at most.
i added a psu and ram price to the price also.

Here in the states I wouldnt pay more than $175-200 for that. Its old, and not a very good gaming PC.

 

[OddyTrapKing]

175 wont get u the mb alone here
so it depends on country also.

Who's gonna buy that for 700 AUD? That's a 400 AUD at most, 300 AUD sounds more like it, unless it got 500GB SSD Platinum+ PSU.

When ~800 AUD get a completely new Ryzen3 + GTX 1050Ti and 16GB DDR4 fully equipped?

 

[OddyTrapKing]

thats like 1100 bucks here what u listed up man fd2

I had a hard time believing it would be so expensive but just a partial build shows this.

$700 still sounds high though.

Add to that, reference 2ndhand price point:

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/ellenbrook/desktops/core-i5-gtx-1060-16gb-ram/1162220674

i5 2500 + AIO cooling + GTX1060 + 16GB DDR3 + FD Define R3 for ~675 AUD.

This would outclass OP's FX build in gaming any day.

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/thornlie/desktops/desktop-pc-i5-processor-256gb-ssd-8gb-ram-windows-10/1162218905

i5 3570 +8GB DDR3 + 256GB SSD ~ 460 AUD; or 510AUD for 16GB DDR3.

For your 700AUD suggestion, there're plenty of GPU upgrade for this 460/510AUD build to outshine OP's FX build value.

When even the higher tier SKU, eight cores FX-8370, basically loses to the cheapo dual cores G4560 in gaming:

what value is there for people to look at a 700 AUD, EOL, six cores FX build?

When you do sell 2ndhand, they're based solely on people's perception of how valuable the thing you're putting on sale and AM3/AM3+ is both EOL, out of warranty and is an extremely undesirable platform in the eyes of many PC people. OP would have to dupe some computer novice to sell his PC at 700AUD.

Just as I got my i5 3470 2nd for roughly the same price as a new G4560, there's little reason for anyone to be looking for a 2ndhand PC to look at a FX build when i5 Sandy/Ivy bridge are in the same price range.

I can't speak for AU, but in the US, I think even USD $200 would be difficult to get for it.

If you're selling it to a person you can probably get 300 out of it maybe.
But if you're selling it to a tech person no one will buy it because we're all techs who don't buy downgraded PC's. You can probably sell the case and PSU for a bit, I mean it's still usable for basic people who just want a computer for just basic stuff. Selling it on craigslist you'll probably get a better deal.
