Hi. So I have this iBuypower Wa550g Gaming PC and I had been using it for three months, and I then realized that I can't run demanding games like GTA V and Battlefield 1. I upgraded the GPU to an RX 460 but if I want to upgrade any more components I will have to by a new power supply, motherboard, and other parts which will cost a lot more than the upgrade itself.
So my question is, where is the best place to sell a used computer in a good condition? Should I do it online or go to a computer shop? I kind of changed my mind on the current computer and don't know how to sell it at a reasonable price. Thanks!

That's the problem with the PC industry, there is no clear definition for a "Gaming PC". That computer could run solitaire like a champ, but any real demanding game would crush it. The fact that they call a computer with those specs a gaming PC just shows you what a pathetic company they are.

That being said, your best bet is probably to sell it on Craig's List. I wouldn't sell on eBay as you will have to pay 10% of the sale price to eBay as a fee. Sadly, PC's depreciate quickly and you will be lucky to recoup 60% of what you spent, but list it for about 80% and see if you can find a buyer, but be willing to haggle down a little if necessary. That computer is pretty outdated, despite the RX 460...assuming that you will sell that with it.
