While a few years ago it was a decent system, and could still today play some games decently, it is no where near worth that. You could build a killer system for less with a newer CPU, DDR4, NVMe based SSD, GPU with DX12, HDMI 2.0, all the features newer systems need.

PC's are like cars'. You loose 1/4 right off the lot and it only goes down from there. Honestly, You'd be lucky to get about 600-$700.
 


From your PCPP link, that is $1400
This includes $400 of mouse/kbd/headset/webcam. Trivialities.

As above, $700 absolute max.
 

The PCPP link is $1500 minus shipping, it just separated the items i put as purchased and not purchased
 


PC Part Picker does not take into account depreciation. Everything loses value. You will not get back what you paid for that system no matter how much you want to believe it. You might get slightly more if you strip the parts and sell those but even then you still won't make back what you spent on it.
 
Your system is 1400ish and is 2 or so years old with dated component's ( not that there bad and cant play games ) but when you can buy a whole system with new parts and faster parts with aa warranty for the same price....... it drops your system to a much lower price then you think its worth

I'm well aware, I was just correcting the fact that he said $1400, when it's $1500
 

Alright, but you're saying I should sell mine for $700, yet comparing it to a system worth $1400
 


OK, to be exact, "$1482.95"
You rounded up, I rounded down.

My original $700 max stands. If you're lucky, or can write really, really good ad copy and find a sucker.
 

Well if we're being exact, it'd be $1498.24. I don't know where you keep pulling these numbers from
 
I am saying the new 1400.00 dollar system is faster then yours ( so I would not spend 1400 on yours ) I would buy new......
then if I was going to buy a used system I would cut it in half or less do to it being older and not as fast and used and no warranty
 


Just directly from your link:

We're not ragging on you.
Just that your original thought of "worth around $1100-$1200" isn't going to happen.
 


+ 1

even if I bought a new car ( like someone said ) I spend 20K on it driver it off the lot I could only get 18K for it a month latter.......... if you part it out you might get a little more for it
 


^^^^^
What he said.
 
If you want exact numbers log into ebay and search for your identical parts by model number. Then sort them by recently sold. That will give you a very good idea of what people are paying. Don't forget ebay gets 10% so when you get a total subtract another 10%. The ~$700 figure is very close. PC parts depreciate very quickly. Also realize having something sit for sale for months is different than actually selling it soon.
 


If that. I don't want some gamer's used headphones from playing 14 hour sessions, all sweaty and nasty. I don't care if they're $100 or not. Keyboard possibly full of chezzy crumbs, no thanks.
 


lmao
 


Someone will think it a bargin, and that's what you have to make it look like.
