Hello!
I have for a while been considering an(other) upgrade to my PC and the latest intel debacle has me worried.
As I see it I have x options:
1.1) Sell the PC as I bought it, i.e. revert my upgrades and save the parts for a new one
CPU: Intel Core i5-4440
GPU: Nvidia GTX 760 1.5GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012)
RAM: Hynix HMT451U6AFR8C-PB 2x4GB
MBD: Acer Predator G3-605
+Least hassle
+Get to keep upgrades
-But I doubt anyone will buy it
-Low price
1.2) Same as 1, but take out the HDD and keep it, lowering the price
+Little hassle
+Get to keep upgrades
-Even less buyers
-Low price
2) Sell most of the previously mentioned parts separately, all I need is the HDD, and power supply (maybe the case as well)
+Get to keep HDD, PSU and case
-Lots of hassle
-Low price
-Low buyers
3) Sell the PC in its first upgrade (marked with **) state and sell the old GPU separately
CPU: Intel Core i5-4440
**GPU2: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012)
RAM: Hynix HMT451U6AFR8C-PB 2x4GB
MBD: Acer Predator G3-605
4) Sell the PC in its second upgrade (marked with **) state and sell the old GPU separately
CPU: Intel Core i5-4440
GPU2: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB
**SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012)
RAM: Hynix HMT451U6AFR8C-PB 2x4GB
MBD: Acer Predator G3-605
5) Swap the motherboard for a newer one (possibly selling the old one)
+Get to keep HDD, PSU and upgrades
-New RAM, CPU and MBD, costs alot
-Likely little to no buyers for MBD and CPU
Also as an added bonus question:
If I sell the old one (options 1 or 2) should I
A) Get a prebuilt/storebuilt based on part list without GPU2 and SSD (HDD)
B) Sell HDD, GPU2 (HDD) and buy a whole new prebuilt/package PC
Thank you so much and sorry if this a pain to read. I'm really stuck with this decision. And also sorry if this breaks rules or such.
P.S. Could/Should I make selling notices on websites for all of the above options and see which ones gather the most money? (Would they get taken down or something?)
Edit: Also maybe suggest tags, I wasn't sure what to include
